Code 51? My 94 Probe is flashing a trouble code. It flashes five times, then there is a pause and it flashes once. After about 5 seconds it repeats. I assume this is 51. I can't find any info on what the code means. Most people say that they have the codes for a 95 but not a 94. Can anyone help. The engine will not idle for long before it dies. No problem restarting.

Where is the obd2 connector location on holden ra rodeo v6

isuzimpuls.gif
Connect white (test lead) and black (ground lead) wires that are branched from harness approximately eight inches from ECM. After leads are grounded, the "Check Engine" light will flash the diagnostic trouble codes. The DTC's are indicated by the flashing CEL.
FLASH, FLASH, pause, FLASH, FLASH, FLASH = Code 23.
If only one diagnostic trouble code is stored, the DTC will repeat continuously until test leads are disconnected. If more than one diagnostic trouble code is stored, each DTC will repeat three times, starting with the lowest, then proceed to the next DTC. After all DTC's have been displayed, the pattern will repeat.I-MARK 84-85
Connect male and female test leads taped into wire harness near ECM. After leads are connected, the "Check Engine" lamp will flash the trouble codes. The DTC's are indicated by the flashing CEL.
FLASH, FLASH, pause, FLASH, FLASH, FLASH = Code 23.
If only one diagnostic trouble code is stored, the DTC will repeat continuously until test leads are disconnected. If more than one diagnostic trouble code is stored, each DTC will repeat three times, starting with the lowest, then proceed to the next DTC. After all DTC's have been displayed, the pattern will repeat.
86-87 Impulse located near the ECM connector, is used to actuate the Engine Control Module (ECM) trouble code memory within the module. Two terminals (A and C) of this connector are used to activate the diagnostic trouble code system in the ECM. With the ignition switch turned On, engine Off, connect a jumper wire between terminals A and C. The "Check Engine" lamp will begin by flashing a DTC 12. DTC 12 = flash, pause, flash, flash. There will be a longer pause and a code 12 will repeat two more times. This code indicates the self-diagnostic system is operating. The cycle will then repeat until the engine is started or the ignition is switched Off. In most cases, DTC's will be checked with the engine running since no DTC's other than DTC 12 or 51 will be present without the engine running. Remove jumper wire from ALDL connector before starting engine. Reconnect jumper wire after engine is running.

Throttle Body Fuel Injection

The ECM test connection is located under the center console.
A built-in, self diagnostic system will identify problems in the throttle body fuel injection system. When a problem is detected, the diagnostic system will illuminate the "Check Engine" light.
When the engine is started, the Check Engine light should turn off.. If the light remains lit, the self diagnostic has detected a problem. To determine where the problem exists, ground the "Test" terminal of the connector with the ignition On, engine Off and watch the check engine light. Each DTC will flash three times (lowest to highest).

What is service engine light code 12 mean


READING CODES USING MIL (CHECK ENGINE) LAMP

Be advised that the MIL or CHECK ENGINE light can only perform a limited number of functions and it is a good idea to have the system checked with a scan tool to double check the circuit function.

  1. Within a period of 5 seconds, cycle the ignition key ON - OFF - ON - OFF - ON .
  2. Count the number of times 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 codes.
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.

I have a 1994 plymouth voyage se and it will not strat. It tell me to check gauge light comes on. what should i do or what does that mean?

Turn key to on ( not start) then off, then on, then off, then on and leave on, and have a pen and paper ready to record flashes of "check engine light". It will flash then pause between second number of 2 digit code. Then a short pause and flash again, pause, then flash. For example: if it flashes 2 times, then pause, then flashes 2 more times, that would be code 22. If it flashes 3 times, pause, then flashes 5 more times, that would be code 35. As I said, there will be a short pause between 2 digits, as well as after number. Write them down as they come up and get back to us with those codes for advice. When you get code 55 ( 5 flashes, pause 5 more ) that means end of message. Those codes should point everyone in right direction of trouble spot.

Cannot locate obd port

Your car is NOT OBD II. that was mandated for 1996 and later. Your car requires a DRB II scan tool ( or equivalent)..Good news is that you can use the MIL ( check engine light) to retrieve the codes.

  1. Cycle the ignition key to ON , OFF , ON , OFF , ON within 5 seconds.
  2. Count the number of times the MIL (check engine light) on the instrument panel flashes on and off. The number of flashes represents the trouble code. There is a slight pause between the flashes representing the first and second digits of the code. Longer pauses separate the individual two digit trouble code.
If it flashes 4 times and then pauses and flashes 5 times that is a 45. There will be a long pause between codes if there is more than 1 stored. After all the codes are flashed it will flash a 55. If you can get the code(s) and post(reply) I can look it up for you.

My 94 jeep loaps and then backfires out the tail pipe can you solve

Power train control module controls the drivetrain. If you can get a code from the computer it would go a long way diagnosing wether its an engine malfunction or computer issue. To get the codes bring a pen & piece of paper out to the car, turn the key to the run position (not start but when all the dash lights come on) then off then run then off then run (three times in the on position, after you have turned the ke on then off 3 times on then leave the key in the on position and watch the check engine light. It will flash a code to you for example check engine light turns on then off 1 time with a long pause then the light flashes three times then another pause this would be the #13 code , most start with this code to tell you that it is checking codes. Just count the # of flashes (from the check engine light) & that is the first # of the code it will pause then flash again & that is the second # of the code. Flash 5 times pause then 5 more flashes is the # 55, & that is the last code you get to indicate all codes have been displayed, so key on then off then on then off then on & watch the check engine light count the flashes write down that # when it pauses then count the next number of flashes until the pause & that is your trouble cod they are 2 # codes & usually 13 is the first code flashed & the # 55 is the code that lets you know it is done, all the 2 digit codes in between are trouble codes & can be found in a chiltons or haynes service manual or search the web for chrysler trouble or computer codes.

Service engine soon light on a 1996 caravan sport

The codes can be retrieved by turning your ignition switch on and off three time quickly and watch your service engine light. It will flash once pause then flash twice then it will begin to give any fault codes that have been stored. It will flash once or twice then pause then flash in concession again then pause and start another code if any. When you have retrieved all the codes available it will flash 5 times pause then flash 5 times which means it has finished. There are several sites on the net that will explain what each code stands for and which circuit needs your attention.

My abs light is on and my car shut off and wont come back on

Hi,

Your ABS light is not directly related to your engine and would not cause your vehicle to shut down. Therefore, we need to have the Diagnostic Codes extracted from your vehicle's computer, before we can examine likely causes.

Assuming you cannot extract codes from the DTC connector, I can offer a different method which applies to some late model Nissans...

ACCELERATOR PEDAL METHOD (read carefully):

1 Switch the ignition ON (but DO NOT start the engine). 2 Wait 3 seconds. 3 Within the next 5 seconds, "fully depress - then fully release the accelerator pedal" 5 times (i.e. once per second). 4 Wait 7 seconds. 5 Fully depress the accelerator pedal...and hold it down for approximately 10 seconds. 6 The "ENGINE CHECK" Light should begin flashing. Fully release the accelerator pedal. 7 Read codes as described in the Code Format Description below. Code Format Description - the fault code will be in one of the following Code Formats below: The code is made up of four groups of flashes each representing a digit. A long flash indicates the 'thousands' digit. 'Hundreds' 'Tens' and 'Ones' are groups of short flashes respectively. A long pause separates each trouble code. A shorter pause separates each group of flashes Please note: A '0' digit is indicated by 10 flashes with this system.
Or... Each code is made up of two series of flashes. The long flashes indicate the 'hundreds' digit, however can be a value up to 13 (eg 13 flashes = Thirteen Hundred). The short flashes indicate the 'ones' digit, however can a value up to 15. A long pause separates each code sequence. Once you obtain the codes (or have someone do it for you) from your ENGINE CHECK LIGHT, post the codes here are someone can assist you further. PS: Your first priority is to get the vehicle mobile again. We can then deal with the ABS issue separately. Cheers,

How do i get the trouble codes off a 1989 mazda mpv?

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/3331/obdikx3.jpg

The above link is to a diagram of your ALDL connector, all you need is a paper clip, straighten out the paper clip and insert one end into the diagnostic test pin and one in the system ground pin (terminals A & B).

Then put the key in the ignition and turn it to the on position but DO NOT start the engine. You will then see the check engine light flash. It will initially start by flashing once, then a pause and then flash twice and it will repeat this three times. That flash sequence indicates 12, which just means the system is operating. Its the flash sequences after that that will give you the code if any are stored.

For instance if it flashes twice, then pauses, then flashes four times, thats code 24. So any flash sequence you get after the initial 12 (flash once, pause, flash twice) you need write those down. Below is a list of diagnostic codes to tell you what the codes mean.
