Re: Check Engine Light and Trans Codes 850 1994


Bet you have a code 3-2-2 (PNP) switch error. Paste and print this (keep it in the glove comp.)

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

Normally "Check Engine Light" information will be found

in A2. Put the jumper into A2 and push the black button for

one second. Count the red LED light as it blinks

back information, blink, blink, pause, blink, blink, blink,

pause, blink, blink, is an example of the response you would

receive. 2-3-2 would be the code retrieved, now push the button

again for one second, again count the blinks, keep checking for

codes until one of them repeats, this means you have read all

the codes. Now to clear the codes, push and hold the button

for 6-7 seconds, release and as soon as the LED comes on push

and hold the button for another 6-7 seconds. Now push the

button for one second and read the codes again,

you should get 1-1-1 (no faults).

You Must Read All Codes before Clearing.

Turn the ignition off and then start the car,

the check engine light should be out.

It is always a good idea to check for codes,

clear them and then drive the vehicle to see if

they return before replacing parts.

The transmission can ask the check engine light

to be turned on, so if you try clearing A2 codes

and they wont go away try reading the transmission (A1),

clear them , and then go back to A2.

SERVICE LIGHT

1. Turn on the ignition to the KPII position so the warning lamps on the

dash are illuminated. Do not start the car.

2. Open the hood of the car and locate Diagnostic test port (A) behind the

passenger side headlamp and closest to the fender.

3. Remove the cover and pull the jumper wire out of the holder in the cover.

4. Insert the jumper into terminal #7, then press button 4 times, wait

approximately 5 seconds and the red lamp should glow continuously. You are

now in the data reset mode.

5. Press the button 1 time and wait approximately 5 seconds for the lamp to

glow again then press the button 5 times. After about 5 seconds the lamp

will illuminate again, press the button 1 time and you will see the lamp

flash repeatedly for a couple of seconds indicating that the service lamp

has been properly reset.

6. If a mistake is made, simply switch the ignition off and back on to reset

and start over.
