OBD1 Codes Retrieval (Pre-1995 Cars and Trucks) GM

GM 1983-95 vehicles OBD1 codes selfretrieval As the name implies, you can get the codes for GM cars or trucks yourself if the model of your vehicle is made before 1995, this means as soon as you see check engine light in your dash, you can get the code in minutes if you want. Shown on the left is a picture of the connector where you get the GM OBD1 code.
When you find the adapter connector, use a jumper wire (see red wire above) and connect terminals A and B. Next turn your key on but don't start. Watch your check engine flash the code/s. EXAMPLE: CODE 12: one long flash and two short flashesCODE 13: one long flash and 3 short flashes.

Note: code 12 is usually the first code you get and just ignore it.Watch the code after code 12, that's what you need.

Ford 1985-95 OBD1 code self-retrieval

When checking engine service light on Ford vehicles made before 1995, you can get the code yourself using a $5 tool called "test light". All you need is to hook it up to the vehicles diagnostic connector and turn your key on and watch the codes being flashed in your dash panel. Shown here on your left how the FORD OBD1 diagnostic connector is set up.

You should find the diagnostic connector under your hood normally by the fender on the battery side. By just using your test light and a jumper wire, it will tell you what kind of problem you got. KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) TEST 1. Make sure engine is fully warmed. If in doubt, run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes.2. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds for system to shut off. Make sure A/C is off and transmission is in Park (automatic) or Neutral (manual).3. Hook up light and jumper (or a tester if you have one). Turn key to ON (do not start engine). Read the codes. How to do it? Example code 23: your test light should flash 2 long consecutive flashes followed by 3 short pulses.

How to get the code/s for Chrysler 1983-1995 vehicles:

Within a period of 5 seconds, cycle the ignition key ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON.

1. Count the number of time the MIL (check engine lamp) on the instrument panel flashes on and off. The number of flashes represents the trouble code. There is a short pause between the flashes representing the 1st and 2nd digits of the code. Longer pauses are used to separate individual 2-digit trouble code. An example of a flashed DTC is as follows: -Lamp flashes 4 times, pauses, then flashes 6 more times. This denotes a DTC number 46. -Lamp flashes 5 times, pauses, then flashes 5 more times. This indicates a DTC number 55. DTC 55 will always be the last code to be displayed. Here's how your ignition key looks like. Make sure to cycle it between on and off positions only.

Clearing codes can be performed by turning the ignition off

and removing the negative battery cable for at least 1 minute. Removing the negative battery cable may cause other systems in the vehicle to loose their memory. Prior to removing the cable, ensure you have the proper reset codes for radios and alarms. If you find some difficulties on doing this, you can take your car to Auto Zone parts store and they can scan the code FREE for you. They do this to encourage you to buy parts from them. However, don't buy anything just yet till you confirmed the code with ATS. When you become a member, we will show you the tests on the codes so you don't have to buy unnecessary parts. Complete instructions will come with drawings and wiring diagrams.

OBD1 Codes Retrieval (Pre-1995 Cars and Trucks)

Nissan vehicles 1984-94 obd1 code retrieval

Nissan check engine light codes can be retrieved by accessing the engine computer usually located under the passenger seat, behind the glove box, center console or depending on the model. The computer itself stores the code and has a led light indicator in the box located in the top or side of the housing. The led light indicator could be single or double.

When activated, you have to either flick a switch or turn a screw in the computer box to start the led lights to flash after turning the key on but with engine not running. Using a screw driver, turn the ignition key on and turn the screw driver fully clockwise and wait 2 seconds. Then turn the screw driver fully counter clockwise and the led light should start to flash in the computer box itself. When you have a single led light, you can read the code using this method: Code 12 is showed by 1 long flashes followed by 2 short flashes When you have a computer box with 2 led lights (usually a red and green light), the code can be read using this method: green led light will flash the first digit and the red led light will flash the second digit. Example: 3 flash of green and 4 flashes of red means a code 34. Note: There are 5 different modes when accessing these codes and depending on the vehicle and model, please check with your dealer or ATS on what mode to use. Here are some Nissan 1984-1995 popular common fault codes: Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code 11 12 13 14 21 22 31 32 33 34 35 43 45 51 54 55 Crank sensor angle Mass airflow sensor Engine coolant temperature sensor Vehicle speed sensor No ignition reference Fuel pump Engine control unit EGR sensor Oxygen sensor Knock sensor EGR temperature sensor Throttle positioner sensor Injector leak Injector circuit Automatic transmission signal No malfunction recorded

OBD1 Codes Retrieval (Pre-1995 Cars and Trucks)

Toyota 1990-1995 vehicles obd1 code retrieval When the check engine light shows up in your 1990-95 Toyota vehicle, the quickest way to get the code is to access the diagnostic connector in the engine compartment ( usually sitting in the fender) or by the kick panel under the dash board in the passenger side. Connect a jumper wire between terminals TE1 and E1 terminals and by turning the key on, it will start flashing the codes in your dash. On Tercel and MR2, use the jumper wire between terminals T and E1 instead. If there are no codes, the check engine light will flash 2 times per second CONSTANTLY with no patterns or pauses. If there are any codes, it will be shown in 2 digits codes. Example: code 24 is shown as 2 flashes, a pause followed by 4 flashes. If there are mode codes, the next one will transmitted after 2.5 seconds. (One some models, codes are displayed in one digit code only and the difference is the codes are displayed with 4.5 seconds delay between codes). When finished reading the codes, turn the key off and remove the jumper wire. Shown below is an example of the location of the diagnostic connector. Here are the common codes for Toyota vehicles 1988-95: Code 11 Momentary interruption in power supply to ECU (electronic control unit or computer) up to 1991 Code 12 Engine revolution signal missing Code 13 Rpm signal to ecu missing above 1000 rpm Code 14 Igniter signal to ecu missing Code 16 A/T control signal missing from ecu Code 21 Main oxygen sensor signal fault Code 22 Water temperature sensor circuit fault Code 23 and 24 Intake air temperature signal fault Code 25 Air/fuel ratio LEAN Code 26 Air/fuel ratio RICH Code 27 Sub-oxygen sensor signal or heater circuit fault Code 28 No.2 oxygen sensor/heater signal fault Code 31 and 32 Air flow meter circuit or Vacuum sensor signal fault Code 34 and 36 Turbo-charging pressure signal fault

OBD1 Codes Retrieval (Pre-1995 Cars and Trucks)

Hyundai vehicles 1989-95 obd1 code retrieval To get your check engine light codes for Hyundai vehicles 1989-95 is simple. All it needs is your analog voltmeter (a voltmeter that has a needle indicator) hooked up to your diagnostic connector. The diagnostic connector is usually located under your dash panel on the left side of the steering column. To hook up the voltmeter, connect the positive lead on the mpi diagnostic pin on the top right corner of the connector and the negative lead is connected to the ground pin of the diagnostic connector located in the lower left corner. You can then turn the key on and watch the codes being sweep by the needle of your voltmeter. Example: A code 13 is shown as 1 sweep of long duration followed by 3 sweeps of short duration. Also if there are more codes, it will be shown in numerical order. Here are some popular obd1 codes for Hyundai 1989-1995 vehicles: Code 11 Oxygen sensor Code 12 Air flow sensor Code 13 Air temperature sensor Code 14 Throttle positioner sensor Code 15 Motor position sensor Code 21 Engine coolant sensor Code 22 Crank angle sensor Code 23 No.1 cylinder top dead center sensor Code 24 Vehicle speed sensor Code 25 Barometric pressure sensor Code 41 Injector Code 42 Fuel pump Code 43 EGR Code 44 Ignition coil fault Code 59 Oxygen sensor fault

Mitsubishi vehicles 1990-95 obd1 code retrieval Getting the check engine light codes for Mitsubishi vehicles requires using an analog voltmeter (this voltmeter has needle to read the voltage). To read the code, shut engine off and connect the voltmeter leads to the diagnostic output connector located under the dash panel in the drivers side by the kick panel. The diagnostic output connector has 12 terminal pins but connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the top right corner terminal called MPI diagnosis (pin 1) and the negative lead of the voltmeter to the lower left corner terminal called ground terminal (pin 12). Once connected, turn the key on without starting and watch the dash panel flash the codes. To read the codes, use this guide: Code 12 is one long sweep of the needle followed by 2 short sweeps. If there are more codes, there is a 2 seconds pause between codes. Most models before 1988 use a single digit codes but after that, it is mostly a 2 digit codes. To clear the codes after removing the voltmeter, remove the battery negative terminal for 15 seconds. Here are some common Mitsubishi vehicle codes for 1989-94 models: Code 11 Oxygen sensor fault Code 12 Air flow sensor fault Code 13 Intake temperature sensor Code 14 Throttle positioner sensor fault Code 15 SC Motor position sensor fault Code 21 Engine coolant temperature sensor Code 22 Crank angle sensor fault Code 23 No.1 cylinder TDC sensor fault Code 24 Vehicle speed sensor Code 25 Barometric pressure sensor Code 31 Knock sensor fault Code 32 Manifold pressure sensor Code 36 Ignition timing adjustment signal Code 39 Oxygen sensor fault Code 41 Injector fault Code 42 Fuel pump fault Code 43 EGR fault Code 44 Ignition coil on 3.0L engines (1 and 2 cylinders) Code 52 Ignition coil on 3.0L engines (2 and 5 cylinders) Code 53 Ignition coil on 3.0L engines (3 and 6 cylinders) Code 55 AV valve position sensor Code 59 Heated oxygen sensor Code 61 Transaxle control unit cable for automatic trany Code 62 Warm-up control valve position sensor

Isuzu vehicles 1985-94 obd1 code retrieval You can get the check engine light codes yourself on 1985-94 Isuzu vehicles by using a jumper wire between terminal pins 1 and 3 or A and B in the diagnostic connector. This diagnostic connector can be located anywhere from the driver side kick panel, passenger kick panel and sometimes at the center console. When using A and B terminal pins, getting the codes is similar to GM vehicles. Once the jumper wire is connected, turn your key on and read the codes being flashed in the dash panel. Reading the lights being flashed is simple, like code 12 is a long flash, a pause followed by 2 short flashes. Code 12 is also the first code to appear which verifies that the diagnostic system is working. If there are any codes that are present, it will be flashed in the same way with each codes being flashed 3 times before going to a next higher code. Clearing the codes is done mostly by removing the battery negative terminal but removing the ecm (computer) fuse for 10 seconds is the best method. This way, you dont need to re-program your radio or clock in case you use the battery connection. Don't forget to remove the jumper wire with key off before clearing the codes. Here are some popular obd1 codes for 1985-94 Isuzu vehicles: Code 12 System normal Code 13 Oxygen sensor fault Code 14 Coolant temperature fault Code 21 TPS signal fault Code 23 MAT circuit fault Code 24 Vehicle speed signal sensor fault Code 32 EGR sensor fault Code 23 MAP sensor fault Code 42 Electronic spark timing fault Code 43 Electronic spark control fault Code 44 Oxygen sensor fault Code 51 Prom error Code 55 ECM fault Suzuki vehicles 1986-95 obd1 code retrieval To get the check engine light codes of Suzuki vehicles is fairly easy. All you need is to access the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side. On the lower left corner of the fuse panel, there is a fuse holder or diagnostic connector that you have to install a fuse. Once you do that and after you turn the key on, the dash panel will start flashing the codes. To clear the codes, turn the key off and remove the fuse. Then disconnect the battery negative terminal for 30 seconds and reconnect. (On some models, the duration of disconnection is up to 60 seconds, check your manual or contact ATS). To read the codes being flashed, use this as a guide: code 13 is one long flash followed by 3 short flashes. Each code is repeated 3 times before going to the next code after a pause.

Here are some popular Suzuki codes for 1986-95 vehicles: Code 12 System normal Code 13 Oxygen sensor fault Code 14 Engine coolant temperature circuit fault, high voltage Code 15 Engine coolant temperature circuit fault, low voltage Code 21 Throttle position sensor (TPS) circuit fault, voltage high Code 22 Throttle position sensor (TPS) circuit fault, voltage low Code 23 Air temperature sensor circuit fault, voltage high Code 24 Vehicle speed sensor circuit fault Code 25 Air temperature sensor circuit fault, voltage low Code 31 Pressure sensor circuit fault, voltage high Code 32 Pressure sensor circuit fault, voltage low Code 33 Mass air flow sensor circuit fault, voltage high Code 34 Mass air flow sensor circuit fault, voltage low Code 41 Ignition signal fault Code 42 Crank angle sensor circuit fault Code 44 Idle switch of TPS, open circuit Code 45 Idle switch of TPS, shorted circuit Code 51 EGR system circuit fault Code 52 Injector fault Code 53 Ground circuit fault Code 54 Fifth gear switch circuit fault Code 71 Test switch circuit

BMW vehicles obd1 code retrieval You can get the check engine light codes of BMW vehicles for models made before 1995 using the check engine light. All you need to are: Turn ignition key to run with engine not running Depress gas pedal 5 times in wide open throttle (WOT) position within 5 seconds Read the flash codes in the dash using the code table below.

Volkswagen vehicles 1988-1995 obd1 code retrieval You can access your check engine light codes in Volkswagen vehicles for vehicles made from 1988 to 1994. It is done using 2 ways: one type using a rocker switch located at the bottom at your dash panel and a second type using a jumper connected to the diagnostic connector located in the console When activating the codes using the fist type, press and hold down the rocker switch for 4-5 seconds and with ignition key on, engine off. Release the switch after the code starts flashing in the dash (see check light in the dash) and press and hold it again for 4-6 seconds and the rest of the codes should continue flashing. Using the jumper wire, connect the black end of the jumper wire to the black diagnostic connector of the center console while the white end of the jumper wire connects to the white diagnostic connector of the center console. The jumper wire is available from the dealer and is called wire cable 357 971 514E. This jumper wire must be connected for 5 seconds and remove after the codes begin flashing. For both systems, a code is flashed at 2.5 seconds each and comes as a four digit codes. As soon as you get codes 4444 or 0000, it means the end of the code and it can be stopped by turning the key off. After performing repairs and if you do not get code 4444, it means the problem is not fixed. To clear the codes, wait until code 4444 is displayed and turn the ignition switch off. Connect the jumper wire to the diagnostic connectors again and turn the ignition switch on. Leave the jumper wire for 5 seconds and wait if code 4444 to appear again. When it does, the codes are erased and the ignition switch can be turned off and jumper wire remove. Here are common obd1 Volkswagen codes 1988 to 1994: Code 4444 No fault indicated Code 2212 Throttle valve potentiometer fault Code 2312 Engine coolant sensor fault Code 2322 Intake air temperature sensor fault Code 2342 Oxygen sensor fault Code 2141 Knock sensor fault Code 2341 Oxygen sensor control (vacuum or exhaust leak, wiring fault) Code 2323 Air flow sensor fault Code 4411 Fuel injector fault Code 1111 Control unit Code 0000 End of code transfer: 2.5 second flashes at 2.5 seconds interval
