1985-1994 service engine ljós
« on: April 25, 2007, 23:30:45 »
Ef að service engine ljósið er kveikt hjá ykkur þá er hérna góð leið til að komast að því hvað er að með einni bréfaklemmu :D

1985-1994 Full Size GM vehicle, Service Engine Soon Diagnosis.
    People may think that if the Service Engine Soon lamp is glowing on their car, then that means that they must take their car in to a car dealership, or a mechanic to figure out what is wrong with it.  This is not true.  I will be showing you how to pull codes from the computer on your car, yourself!


The first thing you need to do, is to find the ALCL link (otherwise known as The Assembly Line Communications Link).  On 1985, through 1991 GM cars, this is usually located just below the area where your radio is.  It's inset from the black, sound insulation panel (above where your feet are in your car).  On newer vehicles (older than 1994 though) you most likely find the connector right below the steering column!  

This is what the connector looks like:  Below the connector, are descriptions of what each port is used for.


   

A- Ground
B- Diagnostic Terminal
C- A.I.R. (if used)
D Service Engine Soon Lamp Illumination      
E-Serial Data (special tool required)
F- TCC (if used)
G-Fuel Pump



Now, to pull codes from your vehicle, you will need to make a little jumper (I use a paper clip) and connect the ports A, and B.  This will set the computer into a self-diagnostic cycle.  You will hear the fans under the hood turn on, if you are succesful.  Also, the codes that you are wanting to pull in the first place, will be flashed using the "Service Engine Soon"  lamp.

The First Code that you will see, will be a code 12.  This code is only to show you that you have sucessfuly sent the computer into its diagnostic cycle.  The Code 12 will be repeated 3 times.  after code 12 has been repeated 3 times, there will be a long pause, (approx 5 seconds) if there are any other codes, then they will be displayed.  If there are not any more codes, then the computer will flash the code 12 again


Code 12
1 flash, pause, 2 flashes

Diagnostic
This Code will flash whenever the diagnostic terminal is grounded with the ignition switch turned on and the engine is not running.

Code 13
1 flash, pause 3 flashes

Oxygen Sensor
Check the wiring and connectors from the oxygen sensor.  Replace the oxygen sensor

Code 14

Coolant Sensor Circuit
(high temperature)
If the engine is experiencing overheating problems, have those fixed before continuing.  Check all wiring and connectors associated with the coolant temperature sensor.  Replace the Coolant temperature sensor.

Code 15
1 flash, pause, 5 flashes

Coolant Sensor Circuit
(low temperature)
See above, then check wiring connections at the ECM

Code 16
1 flash, pause, 6 flashes

System High Voltage
If the voltage is above 17.1 volts for more than 2 seconds, the Service Engine Soon light will illuminate.  Have the charging system checked

This code can only appear when the vehicle is in motion, if it appears when the car is not in motion, ignore it.  Check ECM connections, any other problems should be diagnosed by a qualified mechanic.

Code 25
2 flashes, pause, 5 flashes

Manifold Air Temperature
Check the voltage between the MAT sensor and the ECM.  voltage should be above 4 volts

Code 26
2 flashes, pause, 6 flashes

bíst nú við að þetta ljós sé í flestum amerískum og fleiri bílum, þíðir samt ekki að þessi aðferð virki líka í þeim bílum. :roll:
