Fuel Injected: Notes

  1. Check operation of SERVICE ENGINE SOON light. Turn ignition on with engine off. See Figure . SERVICE ENGINE SOON light should be on steady. If light illuminates and stays on steady, go to next step. If light does not illuminate, go to SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT INOPERATIVE. If light flashes, go to step 3).
  2. Grounding the ALDL "test" terminal at this time should cause SERVICE ENGINE SOON light to flash a Code 12, followed by any codes stored in ECM memory. If light goes from bright to dim, this is not considered a code. If light dims or remains on, and does not flash Code 12, see SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON STEADY OR WON'T FLASH CODE 12.
