Retrieving Codes (Fuel System) Control Function No. 1

CAUTION: Never disconnect or connect ECU connector with ignition in ON position.

Locate the diagnostic unit and remove its cover. Connect selector cable to socket No. 2. Turn ignition to ON position. Enter control function No. 1 (access codes) by pressing push button one time for at least one second and no more than 3 seconds. To enter control function No. 2, press push button 2 times for at least one second and no more than 3 seconds. To enter control function No. 3, press push button 3 times for at least one second and no more than 3 seconds.
Watch the Red LED and count the number of flashes in the 3-flash series. The flash series are separated by a 2.5 second interval. See Fig 1 . Note all codes. Only 3 separate codes can be stored at once. If no codes are stored, the LED will flash a 1-1-1 to indicate the fuel system is operating properly.

If a fault code is received, refer to FUEL SYSTEM FAULT CODES table in this article. Depress push button again and check for additional codes. Depress push button a third time, if necessary. If the first code repeats, there are no other codes.
The diagnostic system memory is full when 3 codes are present. Those 3 codes must be repaired before further codes can be retrieved.

NOTE: Not all codes listed in FUEL SYSTEM FAULT CODES table are used on every vehicle.
