PGM-FI Electronic Control System: Testing: Notes
NOTE:
Before starting testing, ensure engine is in good mechanical condition and adjusted to specifications.
On all models, an LED is located on ECU for self-diagnostic codes. LED is used to read codes set due to component failure. See appropriate LED CODES table in this article. To obtain codes, turn ignition switch to the "ON" position and count flashes of LED on ECU.
NOTE:
If unlisted codes are flashed by ECU LED, clear codes and recheck. If code still appears, substitute a known good ECU. If condition is rectified, replace original ECU.
On all models, System Checker Harness (07999-PD60000A ) is needed to test components. See Fig 1 . On Prelude models, an Inspection Harness (07GMJ-ML80100 ) is needed for testing specific 3 wire sensors. Both of these devices function as breakout boxes to access pin voltage signals while component is either in or out of circuit.
To reset ECU, remove clock fuse in the under-hood relay box for 10 seconds to reset ECU.
