Title: Obd1 code retrieval and decoding/troubleshooting
Post by: Irish_Alley on December 22, 2014, 08:33:32 AM
1. Jump terminals A and B (see diagram below) with the ignition "ON" and engine off. This will start the diagnostic mode. The computer will display a Code 12, three times, by flashing the check engine light. A Code 12 consists of one flash, a short pause, then two flashes three times.

 2. Codes will be displayed by flashing the check engine light. All codes are displayed 3 times each then a code 12 will repeat and the trouble codes will start again.
