Malfunction codes can be retrieved from the engine, ABS, automatic transmission, Cruise Control, 4WS and air-bag computers by reading the codes flashed by the LED.
Engine Malfunction Codes
Engine codes can be read by connecting the TEN and GND pins, using the jumper wire. (See above for the location of this pin) and The LED connected to B+ and FEN pins. The codes are read by counting the number of flashes given out from the LED. The RED lead goes to the B+ pin
BE CAREFUL CONNECTING THE B+ PIN... this is a live 30A feed
The first series of long flashes (1.2 Secs) are the tens position. There is a short pause (1.6 Secs) and then the second series of quick flashes (0.4 Secs) begins which are the digits. The codes are repeated indefinitely.
Example: ------ ------ (2) -- -- -- (3) is 23 - RH 02 Sensor
