Symptom Troubleshooting Index








Troubleshooting Guide

NOTE: Across each row in the chart, the systems that could be sources of a symptom are ranked in the order they should be inspected starting with (1). Find the symptom in the left column, read across to the most likely source, then refer to the system or component listed at the top of that column. If inspection shows the system is OK, try the next most likely system (2), etc.

If codes other than those listed are indicated, count the number of blinks again. If the indicator is in fact blinking these codes, substitute a known-good ECU and recheck. If the indication goes away, replace the original ECU.

BU : If the Check Engine light is on while the engine is running, jump the service check connector. If no code is displayed (Check Engine light stays on steady), the back-up system is in operation.
Substitute a known-good ECU and recheck. If the indication goes away, replace the original ECU.
