Irvy Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hi folks was reading what ianc pposted re error codes and how to read them...anyone answer these qs for me tho as i aint sure what i am doing!! When things go wrong with engine components, sensors, etc. there is a chance that it's going to be a failure mode that your ECU will recognise. Usually, you'll know something has happened because the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light, the red exclamation mark) lights up. The ECU stores an error code so that you can check later what the problem is/was. Rather than requiring a bug diagnostics machine, you can use a simple paperclip, or a short loop of wire. You use this to bridge the connections E1 and TE1 in the diagnostics port ( Location, 4th thumbnail along )... When i open the port i find quite a few little square holes in which to put my wire:rolleyes: anyone know which is E1 andTE1? ...For herring codes stored if you are at the initial stages of diagnosing a problem, so resetting the ECU, triggering the problem, and then reading the codes is the best method. What light comes on? or will this be obvious when i find E1 and TE1? cheers irvine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
