INTRODUCTION
Ensure all steps in the BASIC TESTING article have been followed. If no faults were found while performing the BASIC TESTS, proceed with self-diagnostics. If no service codes and only pass codes are found during self-diagnostics, proceed to H - "Engine Type" TESTS W/O CODES article for diagnosis of intermittents or driveability symptoms.
DIAGNOSTIC FORMATS
There are 2 diagnostic formats used to test and service the EEC-IV system: QUICK TESTS and CIRCUIT TESTS. QUICK TEST procedures are designed to allow the technician to identify problems, retrieve and record service codes. The CIRCUIT TESTS give procedures for testing circuits and checking sensors and actuators. If a vehicle passes all QUICK TEST procedures, and there are no driveability symptoms or intermittent faults, the EEC-IV system is okay. Problem exists somewhere besides the EEC-IV system.
Always start with the QUICK TEST procedures before attempting any CIRCUIT TESTS. The QUICK TEST procedures allow the technician to retrieve and identify service codes which are used as a reference to find the correct CIRCUIT TEST.
SERVICE CODE DESCRIPTIONS
There are 3 types of service codes retrieved in the QUICK TEST procedures during Key On Engine Off (KOEO) and Key On Engine Running (KOER) Self-Test modes. They are KOEO, KOER, and Continuous Memory codes. Codes may be cleared from the ECA memory after they have been recorded or repaired. See CLEARING CODES.
KOEO & KOER CODES (HARD FAULTS)
These codes indicate a hard fault that is actually present at the time of testing. These hard faults may cause the CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON light to illuminate and remain on until the fault is repaired. If KOEO or KOER codes are retrieved during the Self-Test, the KOEO or KOER code charts must be used to select the correct CIRCUIT TEST for testing and repair.
CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES (SOFT FAULTS)
These are soft fault codes that are used to diagnose intermittent problems. They indicate a fault that may or may not be present at the time of testing. Continuous Memory Codes are retrieved during the KOEO Self-Test. Some codes may illuminate the CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON light. The corresponding soft trouble code, will be retained in the ECA memory. If the fault does not reoccur within 40 warm-up cycles (80 cycles on some models), the code will automatically be cleared by the ECA.
Service codes may be cleared from memory by the technician. See CLEARING CODES. Intermittent faults may be caused by sensor, connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in H - "Engine Type" TESTS W/O CODES article.
| CAUTION | Continuous Memory Codes should be recorded when received during the KOEO Self-Test. They may be used to identify intermittent problems that exist AFTER all KOEO and KOER codes have been repaired and a Code 11 (pass code) has been obtained in both KOEO and KOER Self-Tests. Failure to follow this procedure may result in replacement of non-faulty components and unnecessary testing. Some Continuous Memory Codes faults may not be valid after KOEO and KOER codes are repaired. |
RETRIEVING CODES
Service codes are retrieved from the EEC-IV system through the Self-Test connector. Various methods and test equipment may be used to access these codes. The following test equipment may be used
- Analog Volt/Ohmmeter
- Scan Tool
- STAR Series Tester
- In-Dash CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON Light
| Application | Location |
|---|---|
| Probe (3.0L) | Left rear of engine compartment |
| Sable & Taurus | Right rear of engine, below MAP sensor |
SELF-TEST CONNECTOR LOCATIONS
CLEARING CODES
To clear codes from the ECA memory, run the KOEO Self-Test, when service codes begin to appear on your test equipment or CHECK ENGINE light, disconnect the jumper wire from the Self-Test Input (STI) connector. If using a STAR series tester, unlatch the center button. This procedure erases Continuous Memory Codes from the ECA memory. If a problem has not been corrected, or the fault is still present, the hard code will be immediately reset into the ECA memory.
| CAUTION | DO NOT disconnect the vehicle battery to clear codes. This will erase stored operating information from the Keep Alive Memory (KAM). To clear the KAM, disconnect the negative battery terminal for a minimum of 5 minutes. If the KAM has been cleared, the vehicle must be driven 10 or more miles to allow the ECA to relearn the conditions and driving style under which the vehicle is operated. Driveability may be affected during this relearning cycle. |
KOEO & KOER SELF-TEST CODES
All service codes are 2 digit numbers and are output by the ECA one digit at a time. These codes indicate a current fault in the system. They should be serviced in the order in which they appear. Use the appropriate code chart to find the correct CIRCUIT TEST. Codes are shown as voltage pulses (needle sweeps) on an analog Volt/Ohmmeter (VOM).
If a VOM is being used, pay careful attention to the length of the pauses in order to read the codes correctly. There will be a 1/2 second pause between the number of sweeps indicating a digit and a 2 second pause between each digit in a code. There will be a 4 second pause between each code. The KOEO Self-Test codes are separated from Continuous Memory codes by a 6 second delay, a single 1/2 second sweep (Separator), and another 6 second delay. Always record the codes in the order received.
If a Scan tool is used, it will count the pulses and display them as a digital code. The STAR tester will add a zero (0) to single digit Separator Code (10) and Dynamic Response (10) codes. The Dynamic Response code is displayed in the KOER Self-Test. (Scheme 30)
If the CHECK ENGINE light is used, service codes will be displayed as flashes.
SEPARATOR PULSE
A single 1/2 second separator pulse is issued 6-9 seconds after last functional KOEO Self-Test code. Then 6-9 seconds after the single 1/2 second separator pulse, the Continuous Memory Codes (soft faults) will be displayed. Some digital test equipment may display the separator code as a 10 instead of a one.
PASS CODES
A Code 11 is a pass code which indicates that there are no recorded service codes in that portion of the test and that the system passes that portion of the test. If a Code 11 is not received in the KOEO portion of the self-test, codes received during the KOER Self-Test may not be valid. It is very important that a Code 11 (pass code) be observed in KOEO. A Code 11-1-11 output during the KOEO Self-Test indicates that there are no KOEO or Continuous Memory Codes recorded. The separator code may appear as a 10 instead of a 1 on some test equipment.
CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODES
These codes are issued as a result of information stored by the ECA during continuous self-test monitoring. These codes are displayed during the KOEO Self-Test after the separator pulse code. These codes should be used for diagnosis, ONLY when KOEO and KOER Self-Tests result in a Code 11 (pass code) and all QUICK TEST steps have been successfully completed. There are a few exceptions which may be checked after the KOEO Self-Test codes have been repaired. These codes indicate a fault that has been recorded within the last 40 key starts. The fault may or may not be currently present.
FAST CODES
At the start of the KOEO testing and after the WOT request in the KOER test, there is an output from the ECA known as Fast Codes. These are short bursts of information that are used by the manufacturer during assembly. With most equipment these code bursts are not visible as the entire code sequence lasts less than 1/2 second. Ignore this fluctuation if noticed with your test equipment.

"CHECK ENG"/"SERVICE ENG SOON" MIL ACTIVATING CODES
DESCRIPTION
The Quick Test diagnostic procedures are functional tests of the EEC-IV system. They consist of 7 basic test steps. These basic steps must be carefully followed in sequence, otherwise misdiagnosis, or replacement of non-faulty components may result.
- Visual Check & Vehicle Preparation. See BASIC TESTING article in this section.
- Equipment Hook-Up
- Key On Engine Off (KOEO) Self-Test
- Computed Timing Check
- Key On Engine Running (KOER) Self-Test
- Continuous Monitor Mode (Wiggle Test)
- Intermittents & Diagnosis By Symptom. For more information, refer to the H - "Engine Type" TESTS W/O CODES article.
Note. After all tests, servicing, or repairs have been completed, repeat QUICK TEST procedures to ensure all EEC-IV systems work properly and service codes are no longer present.
VISUAL CHECK & VEHICLE PREPARATION
Complete all steps in BASIC TESTING article before you continue with this procedure. Ensure vacuum hoses are connected correctly and that EEC-IV wiring harnesses are connected.
EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP
Apply the vehicle parking brake, place shift lever in Park (A/T) or Neutral (M/T). Block drive wheels. Turn off all electrical loads. Connect appropriate test equipment to vehicle
ANALOG VOLT/OHMMETER (VOM)
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Set VOM at 0-15V DC range and connect positive lead of VOM to positive battery terminal.
2) Connect negative VOM lead to Self-Test Output (STO) terminal on Self-Test connector. (Scheme 31) Connect timing light, and go to KOEO Self-Test. KOEO Self-Test is activated by connecting jumper wire from Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail to Signal Return terminal of Self-Test connector with the ignition on.
SCAN TOOL
Follow manufacturer's instructions to connect equipment and to record service codes.
STAR TESTER
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Connect color coded adapter cable leads to diagnostic tester. Connect adapter cable's 2 service connectors to vehicle Self-Test connector and STI pigtail connector. Connect timing light. Go to KOEO SELF-TEST.
CHECK ENGINE OR SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT (MIL)
With ignition on, connect a jumper wire between Self-Test Input (STI) pigtail and Signal Return terminal of Self-Test connector. No additional special equipment hook-up is required.
KOEO SELF-TEST
Start engine and idle until vehicle reaches operating temperature. If engine does not start or stalls after starting, continue to perform this KOEO Self-Test. DO NOT depress the throttle on gasoline engine vehicles. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Activate self-test procedure by using a jumper wire or with appropriate test equipment. Turn key on, leaving engine off. Record all KOEO and Continuous Memory Codes.
If a Code 11 (pass code) is not received in the KOEO portion of the test, service the KOEO codes. See KOEO, KOER or CONTINUOUS CODE/TEST MENUS. If ECA will not output codes, go to TEST QA, step 1). If service codes are received, check the following procedures
- If CHECK ENGINE or SERVICE ENGINE SOON light was on when the vehicle arrived for service, use recorded Continuous Memory Codes and reference code charts before addressing any other symptoms.
- If engine runs rough or idles rough, go to TEST A, step 1), except vehicles equipped with Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) or Electronic Distributorless Ignition System (EDIS) ignition systems. For vehicles equipped with DIS or EDIS ignition systems, use recorded Continuous Memory Codes and reference code charts.
- On DIS and EDIS vehicles only do the following: if Continuous Memory Codes 45, 46 or 48 were received during KOEO Self-Test, go to TEST N, step 13), on (DIS vehicles). If Codes 45, 46 or 48 were not received, go to TEST S, step 2).
- If vehicle is a no start, go to TEST A, step 1), except vehicles equipped with EDIS ignition. For EDIS vehicles, go to TEST AA, step 1).
- If vehicle displays a Code 11 (pass code) and has no symptoms as described in the previous steps, go to COMPUTED TIMING CHECK.
COMPUTED TIMING CHECK
Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Using jumper wire or test equipment, activate KOER Self-Test. Start engine. Check the following items
- If engine starts and stalls, or stalls during self-test, go to TEST S, step 1).
- If Code 98 is displayed, it indicates EEC-IV system is operating in Failure Mode Effects Management (FMEM). Vehicle cannot be diagnosed in KOER Self-Test, go to Code 98 reference in CONTINUOUS MEMORY CODE reference chart.
- Check computed timing after the last service code has been displayed. The timing will remain fixed for 2 minutes after the last code has been received, unless self-test is deactivated.
- Computed timing, at the crankshaft, should equal the base timing see vehicle emission decal) plus 20 degrees BTDC. This timing may vary 3 degrees (+/-). If computed timing is within specification, perform KOER Self-Test. If timing is not within specification, go to TEST P, step 2).
KOER SELF-TEST
Note. DO NOT enter this test sequence until a Code 11 (pass code) has been received in the KOEO portion of the self-test. If a system did not pass KOEO Self-Test, code recorded in KOER testing may not be valid.
Deactivate self-test by removing and reconnecting jumper wire or by procedure specified by test equipment in use. Start and run engine for 2 minutes at 2000 RPM to warm-up HEGO sensor. Turn engine off and wait 10 seconds. Activate KOER Self-Test by using a jumper wire or appropriate procedure for test equipment being used. Start engine. Record all service codes displayed. Check the following items
- If engine starts and stalls, or stalls during self-test, go to TEST S, step 1).
- If vehicle is equipped with a Brake On/Off (BOO) switch, the brake pedal MUST be depressed and released AFTER the ID code portion of test.
- On vehicles equipped with Power Steering Pressure Switch (PSPS), the steering wheel must be turned at least one-half turn and released within 1-2 seconds after the ID code portion of test.
- On vehicles equipped with E4OD transmissions, the Overdrive Cancel Switch (OCS) MUST be cycled after the ID code portion of the test.
- When the Dynamic Response Code appears, perform a brief Wide Open Throttle (WOT). DO NOT perform a WOT unless requested.
- If Code 98 is displayed, it indicates EEC-IV system is operating in Failure Management Effects Mode (FMEM). Vehicle DID NOT pass KOEO Self-Test. Vehicle cannot be diagnosed while in FMEM mode, go to Code 98 reference in Continuous Memory Code reference chart.
- If a Code 11 (pass code) is received during KOER Self-Test, service Continuous Memory Codes which were received during KOEO SELF-TEST. Refer to the Continuous Memory Code reference chart.
- If a Code 11 (pass code) was received during the Continuous Memory Code portion of the KOEO Self-Test (Code 11-1-11), and no driveability symptoms are present, EEC-IV testing is complete. If driveability symptoms are still present, go to H - "Engine Type" TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.
- If KOER codes are present, refer to code reference charts. If system will not output codes, go to TEST QA, step 1).
CONTINUOUS MONITOR MODE (WIGGLE TEST)
The Continuous Monitor Mode allows a technician to attempt to recreate an intermittent fault while monitoring the system. This mode, also called the Wiggle Test, may be used in both KOEO and KOER modes. The CIRCUIT TESTS specify the use of this procedure to identify intermittent faults in specific circuits or components.
KOEO WIGGLE TEST PROCEDURE
Connect test equipment. (Scheme 31) Turn ignition on and activate self-test with jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, deactivate, and then reactivate self-test. You are now in Wiggle Test mode. Tap, move, and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code may be stored in memory and indicated at the diagnostic tester or Scan tool. Record or retrieve code and perform test indicated in Continuous Memory Codes chart.
KOER WIGGLE TEST PROCEDURE
Connect test equipment. (Scheme 31) Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Start engine. Activate self-test with jumper lead or diagnostic tester. Wait 10 seconds, deactivate, and then reactivate self-test. DO NOT turn engine off. You are now in engine running Wiggle Test mode. Tap, move, and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or harness area. If a fault is detected, a service code may be stored in memory and indicated at the diagnostic tester or Scan tool. Record or retrieve code and perform test indicated in Continuous Memory Codes chart.
ADDITIONAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
A number of additional diagnostic system features are available to help technicians diagnose driveability problems and test EEC-IV systems.
CHECK ENG/SERVICE ENG SOON MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)
The light is intended to alert the driver of certain malfunctions in the EEC-IV system.
The light may also be used to retrieve service codes stored in ECA. When hooked-up for KOEO or KOER Self-Test, the light will retrieve all codes, not just Continuous Memory Codes which turn the light on during vehicle operation.
If the light comes on during vehicle operation, it should be serviced and inspected as soon as possible. It is not necessary to immediately turn off the vehicle or have it towed to a service facility.
If the light comes on and then goes off while in operation, the code that caused the light to illuminate will be stored in ECA memory as a Continuous Memory Code.
The light should come on when the ignition is turned on and go out when the engine is started. The ECA turns out the light when the ECA receives an ignition PIP signal, if hard fault codes are not present.
If the light never comes on, see SYMPTOMS in H - "Engine Type" TESTS W/O CODES article.
OUTPUT STATE CHECK
The Output State Check is used as an aid in servicing output actuators associated with the EEC-IV system. It allows you to energize and de-energize most of the system output actuators on command. This mode is entered from the KOEO Self-Test after all codes have been received. At this time, leave self-test activated and depress throttle to initiate the test sequence. Each time throttle is depressed and released, the output actuators will change state (go from on to off, or off to on).
FAILURE MODE EFFECTS MANAGEMENT (FMEM), CODE 98
The FMEM mode allows system operation when one or more sensors fail or transmit signals which are out of their normal operating range. The ECA will substitute a mid-range signal for the defective sensor and continue to monitor the sensor. If the faulty sensor signals return to within the normal operating range, the ECA will use those signals. A Code 98 will be displayed when the FMEM mode is in effect.
HARDWARE LIMITED OPERATIONAL STRATEGY (HLOS)
If a number of system or sensor failures are present and the ECA is not receiving enough information to operate, the ECA will switch to the HLOS mode. ECA output will be fixed values to allow the vehicle to be driven. Driveability concerns will be present. ECA will not output service codes in this mode.
CYLINDER BALANCE TEST
The cylinder balance test is an aid in finding a weak or noncontributing cylinder in engines equipped with sequential PFI fuel systems. The ECA shuts off the fuel supply to each injector and measures the RPM drop. It computes the variation between the cylinders and identifies any weak ones. This test mode is entered during the KOER Self-Test after all codes have been displayed. Within 2 minutes after the codes have been displayed, lightly depress throttle (a 2-3 degree throttle angle is required, NOT a wide open throttle). After a brief stabilizing period, the ECA will activate the test procedure. The test will be repeated if the throttle is depressed within 2 minutes of the final code output. During the 2nd and 3rd test sequence, the percentage of allowable variation between cylinders will be reduced. Service codes displayed during this test correspond to cylinder number and indicate a weak or non-contributing cylinder. If Code 90 is displayed during this test, it indicates a pass. If Code 77 is displayed, repeat cylinder balance test. If throttle is moved during this test, Code 77 will appear, indicating that test was not completed. Total test time is about 3 minutes.

CONTINUOUS MEMORY - CKT TEST & STEP
CIRCUIT TESTS
Note. A breakout box, which connects to the vehicle harness at the ECA, is necessary to perform most circuit tests. References to Test Pin No. found in CIRCUIT TEST steps refer to test terminals on the manufacturer's breakout box. Circuit diagrams at the beginning of each test will identify circuit and wire colors.
HOW TO USE CIRCUIT TESTS (TESTS A TO X)
1) Ensure all non-EEC related faults that were found during BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES testing have been corrected. DO NOT perform any CIRCUIT TEST unless directed to do so by a QUICK TEST procedure. FOLLOW EACH TEST STEP IN ORDER UNTIL FAULT IS FOUND. Do not replace any part unless directed to do so. When more than one code is received, start with the first code displayed.
2) CIRCUIT TESTS require that you prove the electrical circuits are okay before you replace sensors or any other components. Always test circuits for continuity between the sensor and the ECA. Test all circuits for shorts to power, opens, or shorts to ground. Voltage Reference (VREF) and Voltage Power (VPWR) circuits should be tested with KOEO or as specified in CIRCUIT TESTS.
3) DO NOT measure voltage or resistance at ECA or connect any test light, unless specified in testing procedure. All measurements are made by probing REAR of connector. Isolate both ends of a circuit and turn key off whenever checking for shorts or continuity, unless specified.
4) Disconnect solenoids and switches from harness before measuring continuity, resistance, or applying voltage. After each repair, check all component connections and repeat CIRCUIT TEST.
5) An open is defined as any resistance reading greater than 5 ohms. This specification tolerance may be too high for some items in the EEC-IV system. If resistance approaches 5 ohms, always clean the suspected connector and coat with protective dielectric silicone grease. A short is defined as any resistance reading less than 10 k/ohms to ground, unless otherwise specified in CIRCUIT TEST.
6) On TESTS H, and J (Fuel Control), to prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-EEC related areas may also be at fault. These areas include ignition coil, distributor cap and rotor, spark plug wires, fouled spark plugs, canister purge problems, EGR valve and gasket, air filter, poor power and ground circuits, fuel pressure, intake and exhaust manifold leaks, engine not at normal operating temperature, and problems with PCV valves or fuel contaminated engine oil.
Note. Fuel contaminated engine oil may affect some codes. If this is suspected, remove PCV valve from valve cover and repeat QUICK TEST. If problem is corrected, change engine oil and filter.
7) On TESTS H, and J (Fuel Control), vacuum leaks in non-EEC related areas may also cause Code 41 or 91 to be displayed. Check for unmetered air leaks between airflow meter and throttle body, leaking vacuum motors, engine seals, EGR system, PCV system, Canister Purge (CANP) problems, or contaminated HEGO sensor. Code 42 or 92 may be caused by fuel contaminated engine oil, ignition misfire, EGR system, or CANP problems.
Note. In the following tests, circuit diagrams and illustrations are supplied courtesy of Ford Motor Co.
Note. CIRCUIT TESTS are grouped in the following categories.
- A-C: No Start & Voltage Tests
- DA-DR: Input Sensor Tests
- FA-FF: Additional Input Component Tests
- H-J: Fuel Control Systems

Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 7) to step 11). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
11) Codes 32, 33, or 34 Displayed: Check For Vacuum Cycling at EGR Valve Codes 32, 33 or 34 indicate that the EGR valve did not open when instructed to by the ECA. Code 34 indicates the valve would not open. Code 32 indicates the valve is stuck open. Code 33 indicates the valve would not close correctly. Possible causes for these faults are as follows
- Faulty vacuum lines
- Clogged EGRV filter
- Faulty EVP sensor
- Faulty EGR valve
- Faulty EGRC/EGRV solenoid
- Faulty ECA
With key off, disconnect vacuum line at the EGR valve. Connect a vacuum gauge to the EGR vacuum line, leaving the EGR valve disconnected. Observe vacuum gauge while running KOER Self-Test. Disregard all other codes produced during this test. If vacuum reading increased from less than 1 in. Hg to greater than 5 in. Hg and, within 10 seconds, returned to less than 1 in. Hg, go to step 13). If vacuum did not increase, go to next step. If vacuum increased but did not return to less than 1 in. Hg, check EGRV filter for obstructions, replace filter or solenoid as necessary. Reconnect all vacuum lines and rerun QUICK TEST.

If reading slowly decreases from maximum of 5500 ohms to minimum of 100 ohms, replace ECA. Reconnect EVP sensor and EGR vacuum line. Repeat QUICK TEST. If reading does not slowly decrease, go to next step.
14) Manual Test of EVP Sensor With key off, disconnect EVP sensor harness. Remove EVP sensor and vacuum line from EGR valve. Measure resistance between EVP circuit and VREF circuit at the EVP sensor while sensor shaft is slowly pushed in and slowly released. If reading increases and decreases smoothly in range of 100-5500 ohms, service or replace EGR valve assembly. Connect EVP sensor and EGR vacuum line. Repeat QUICK TEST. If either reading changes abruptly during range of 100-5500 ohms, replace EVP sensor. Reconnect harness and EGR vacuum line. Repeat QUICK TEST.
Note. It is normal for EVP sensor total resistance to drop to less than 100 ohms when disconnected from EGR valve. A defective sensor will change resistance suddenly between 5500 and 100 ohms.

20) KOEO Code 34: Check For Code 84 KOEO Code 34 indicates EGR valve and/or EVP is not fully seated in the closed position. EVP voltage signal, in the closed position, is greater than the self-test maximum of 0.67 volt. Because of the preload on the installed EVP sensor it is very difficult to determine if the EGR valve is seated or the EVP sensor is in contact with the EGR valve. Possible causes for this fault are: poor continuity at EVP sensor, non-seated EGR valve, faulty EGR valve or EVP sensor. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Check for Code 84 in KOEO Self-Test. If Code 84 is present, go to step 10) in this TEST. If Code 84 is not displayed, go to next step.

Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 22) to step 25). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
25) KOEO & KOER Code 32: Checking EVP Sensor & EGR Valve Operation Code 32 indicates that EGR valve and/or EVP sensor signal voltage is less than closed position minimum of 0.29 volt. Preload on EVP sensor makes it difficult to determine whether the EGR valve has malfunctioned or if the EVP sensor has abnormally high resistance. Possible causes for this fault are: poor continuity at EVP sensor connector, non-seated or faulty EGR valve or faulty EVP sensor.
Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect EVP sensor. Inspect connector and harness for damage and service as necessary. Remove vacuum line from EGR valve. Test EGR valve operation by applying and releasing vacuum to valve, using a vacuum pump or manually depressing and releasing the diaphragm manually. Reconnect vacuum line to EGR valve and connector to EVP sensor. Repeat KOEO and KOER Self-Tests. If Code 32 is still present, go to next step. If Code 32 is not displayed, the original code was set by a faulty connection or a sticking EGR valve. Testing of EGR valve is complete.
26) Substitute EVP Sensor on Original EGR Valve Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Install a known good EVP sensor on original EGR valve. Perform KOEO Self-Test.

Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 26) to step 40). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
40) KOER Code 33: Check Vacuum at EGR KOER Code 33 indicates that EVP sensor input did not change after ECA signaled EGR operation. Because a Code 84 was not received in the KOEO Self-Test, the EVR solenoid electrical function is okay. The lack of Code 32 or 34 indicates the EVP sensor is within the closed position specifications. Possible causes for this fault are: leaking vacuum hose, restricted vacuum hose, restricted EVR solenoid filter, or a faulty EGR valve.
Turn key off. Disconnect vacuum line from EGR valve. Connect a vacuum gauge at open end of line. Perform KOER Self-Test and observe vacuum gauge. If reading is greater than 1.5 in. Hg, remove vacuum gauge and go to step 43). If not, remove vacuum gauge, reconnect EGR valve vacuum line and go to next step.
41) Verify Vacuum Supply to EVR Solenoid Turn key off. Disconnect vacuum source to EVR solenoid. Install vacuum gauge at source vacuum hose. Start engine and check vacuum. If reading is 10 in.

Possible causes for this fault are: brake pedal not depressed during self-test, open brakelight circuit (Batt + side of BOO splice), short to ground, faulty ECA. If brake was NOT depressed during KOER Self-Test, repeat test and depress and release brake pedal ONLY once during test. Depress and release brake pedal AFTER dynamic response code but before brief WOT. If pedal was depressed, go to next step.
2) Check For BOO Circuit Cycling Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect connector for damaged pins, corrosion, and loose wires. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between test pins No. 2 and 40 while applying and releasing brake. If voltage cycles, switch circuit is okay, replace ECA and repeat QUICK TEST. If voltage does not cycle, go to next step.
3) Checking BOO For Shorts To Ground Turn key off. Leave breakout box installed and ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Disconnect BOO circuit harness connector. Measure resistance between test pins No. 2 and 40 at the breakout box. If resistance is greater than 10 k/ohms, repair brakelight circuit as necessary. If resistance is less than 10 k/ohms, repair short, remove breakout box, reconnect all components and repeat KOER Self-Test.
Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 3) to step 5). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
5) Code 75: Check For BOO Circuit Cycling Code 75 indicates that while brake pedal was released during KOER Self-Test, BOO signal was high. Possible causes for this fault are: brake pedal depressed during entire self-test, open BOO/brakelight circuit (between ECA and brakelight ground), short to POWER, or faulty ECA. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect for and repair any damaged wiring. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between test pins No. 2 and 40 while depressing and releasing brake pedal. If voltage cycles, replace ECA, remove breakout box and repeat QUICK TEST.
6) Check BOO Circuit For Short to Power Turn key off. With breakout box installed and ECA disconnected, set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Disconnect BOO circuit harness connector. Measure voltage between test pin No. 2 and an engine block ground. If voltage is greater than 1.0 volt, repair short circuit, Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and repeat KOER Self-Test. If not, go to next step.
7) Check Continuity of BOO Circuit Turn key off. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 20O-ohm scale. Disconnect BOO circuit harness connector. Measure resistance between test pin No. 2 at the breakout box and BOO circuit at the harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, check and repair brakelight system as necessary. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open circuit. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and repeat KOER Self-Test.
Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 7) to step 10). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
10) Code 74: Verify Brake Pedal Was Depressed Code 74 indicates that when brake pedal was depressed and released during KOER Self-Test, the BOO signal did not cycle high and low. Possible causes for this fault are: brake pedal was not depressed and released during the KOER Self-Test, brake pedal was depressed during entire KOER Self-Test, open in BOO/brakelight circuit, short to GROUND or POWER, or faulty ECA. If brake was NOT depressed during KOER Self-Test, repeat test and depress and release brake pedal ONLY once during test. Depress and release brake pedal AFTER dynamic response code but before brief WOT. If pedal was depressed, go to next step. If pedal was depressed correctly during self-test, go to next step.
11) Check Operation of Brake Lights Turn key on. Depress brake pedal and check brakelights. If brakelights operate normally, go to next step. If brakelights are never on, go to step 13). If brakelights are always on, go to step 14).
12) Check For BOO Circuit Cycling Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect connector for damaged pins, corrosion, and loose wires. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between test pin No. 2 or test pin No. 5 (as applicable per vehicle) and test pin No. 40 while applying and releasing brake. If voltage cycles, switch circuit is okay, replace ECA, remove breakout box, reconnect all components and repeat QUICK TEST. If voltage does not cycle, repair open BOO circuit between ECA and BOO connection to brakelight circuit. Repeat QUICK TEST.
13) Check For Brake Light Power to Harness Connector Turn key off. Disconnect BOO circuit harness connector. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between BOO circuit at harness connector and chassis ground while depressing brake pedal. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, repair open circuit between BOO connection to brakelight circuit and brakelight ground. If voltage is not greater than 10 volts, verify brake switch operation. If okay, repair open circuit between Batt (+) supply to circuit and BOO connection to brakelight circuit. Reconnect harness connector and repeat QUICK TEST.
14) Check BOO Circuit For Short to Power at Harness Connector Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect BOO circuit harness connector. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. With KOEO, measure voltage between BOO circuit at harness connector and chassis ground with brake pedal released. If voltage is less than 1.0 volt, go to next step. If not, verify operation of brake switch. If okay, repair short to power. Reconnect harness connector and repeat QUICK TEST.
15) Check For Short to Power in ECA Turn key off. Reconnect BOO circuit harness connector. Disconnect ECA. With KOEO, check to see if brakelights are on. If so, repair short to power between ECA and harness connector. Repeat QUICK TEST. If not, replace ECA and repeat QUICK TEST.

WIRE COLOR IDENTIFICATION
To prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-EEC related areas may be at fault: idle speed/throttle stop adjustment, binding throttle shaft/linkage or cruise control linkage.
1) Code 52 Displayed, Attempt to Eliminate Code Code 52 indicates that PSPS circuit is open. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect PSPS. Install a jumper wire between PSPS circuit and SIG RTN at vehicle harness connector. Repeat KOEO Self-Test. If Code 52 is not displayed, replace PSPS and repeat QUICK TEST. If Code 52 is still displayed, go to next step.
2) Check Continuity of PSPS Circuits Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect PSPS and ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect for and repair any damaged wiring. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale and measure resistance between test pin No. 46 and SIG RTN circuit at the PSPS vehicle harness connector. If both readings are less than 5 ohms, replace ECA. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and repeat QUICK TEST. If readings are greater than 5 ohms, repair open in circuit. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and repeat QUICK TEST.
3) Check PSPS Operation Connect tachometer and start engine. Allow engine to idle in Park or Neutral. Disconnect PSPS at switch. If RPM increases, replace PSPS. Recheck system. If RPM does not increase, go to next step.
4) Check PSPS Circuits For Shorts Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect PSPS and ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect for and repair any damaged wiring. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between test pin No. 24 (test pin No. 2 on 3.0L SHO PFI) and test pin No. 46 at the breakout box. If resistance is 10 k/ohms or less, repair short in harness. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and recheck symptom. If reading is greater than 10 k/ohms, replace ECA. Repeat QUICK TEST.
5) KOER Self-Test Code 52 Displayed Disregard this code if vehicle does not have power steering. Code 52 indicates that PSPS did not change states due to switch being either open or closed. If you turned steering wheel 1/2 turn within 1-2 seconds AFTER engine ID code, and front wheels are centered in a no load condition, go to next step. If not, repeat QUICK TEST.
6) Checking ECA Open Circuit Identifying Capabilities Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect PSPS. Perform KOEO Self-Test. If Code 52 is present, go to step 8). If Code 52 is not present, go to next step.
7) Check PSPS Circuits For Shorts Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect PSPS and ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect connector for damaged pins, corrosion, or loose wires. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected, and set DVOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance between test pins No. 46 and 24 (test pin No. 2 on 3.0L SHO PFI) at breakout box. If reading is 10 k/ohms or less, repair short circuit. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is 10 k/ohms or more, replace ECA. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and repeat QUICK TEST.
8) Check PSPS Position Comparison Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Install breakout box, leaving ECA connected. With PSPS connected, set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Turn key on and measure resistance between test pin No. 24 (test pin No. 2 on 3.0L SHO PFI) and test pin No. 46. Start engine. If reading remains less than 10 ohms between KOEO and KOER, go to next step. If not, go to step 11).
9) Check PSPS State With KOER: Load & No Load Install breakout box and connect ECA. Connect PSPS and set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Start engine and allow it to idle. Ensure clutch is not depressed on 3.0L SHO PFI vehicles equipped with manual transmissions. Measure resistance between test pin No. 24 (test pin No. 2 on 3.0L SHO PFI) and test pin No. 46 at breakout box. Turn steering wheel 1/2 turn and return to center position. If resistance changes from less than 10 ohms to infinity (indicating PSPS opening) and then returns to 10 ohms or less (when steering wheel is centered), PSPS system is okay. Remove breakout box and return to QUICK TEST. If reading did not change as indicated, go to next step.
10) Check For PSPS Always Closed Compared to Hydraulic Pressure With Engine Running At this point, there are only 2 possible causes for the original KOER Code 52. They are a PSPS switch that will not open, or low available hydraulic pressure. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Substitute original switch with a known good PSPS switch. Perform KOER Self-Test and turn steering wheel at least 1/2 turn after engine ID code. If Code 52 is still present, check power steering system for hydraulic pressure. If Code 52 is not present, replace original PSPS switch. Service other codes if necessary.
11) Check For PSPS Always Open Compared to Hydraulic Pressure With Engine Running At this point, there are only 2 possible causes for original KOER Code 52. They are a PSPS switch that is always open, or excessively high hydraulic pressure. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Substitute original PSPS with a known good PSPS. Perform KOER Self-Test and turn steering wheel at least 1/2 turn after engine ID code. If Code 52 is still present, check power steering system for excessive hydraulic pressure. If Code 52 is not present, replace original PSPS switch. Service other codes if necessary.

Test Schematic For All PFI Engines. Scheme 77
Note. KOER Codes 41 and 91 are HEGO codes that indicate the system is always lean. KOER Codes 42 and 92 indicate the system is always rich. For vehicles equipped with dual HEGO's Codes 41 and 42 refer to Right (rear) HEGO sensors. Codes 91 and 92 refer to Left (front) HEGO sensors.
1) Check Fuel Pressure Turn ignition key off and wait 10 seconds. Install fuel pressure gauge. Verify that manifold vacuum supply is connected to fuel pressure regulator (if equipped). Run engine at idle and check fuel pressure. If vehicle will not start, cycle key on and off several times. For fuel pressure specifications, see FUEL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS article. If vehicle is a no start, cycle key on and off several times. If fuel pressure is within specification, go to next step. If pressure is not to specification, remove fuel pressure gauge. Repair electric fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator.
2) Check Fuel Pressure Check Valve With KOEO, ensure that fuel pressure remains within specification for approximately 60 seconds. If system holds pressure, but vehicle runs rough or misses, or Codes 41, 42, 91 or 92 are present, go to step 9) for sequential PFI engines, or step 4) for all others. If vehicle is a no start, go to next step. If system does not hold pressure, go to step 6) for all engine applications except sequential PFI. For sequential PFI engines, go to step 9).
3) Fuel Delivery Test Ensure fuel is of good quality. With key off, install fuel pressure gauge and pressurize fuel system as in step 1). Disconnect inertia switch. Crank engine for 5 seconds. If fuel pressure drop is greater than 5 psi after 5 seconds of cranking, the EEC-IV system is not the cause of the no start condition. Check additional no start tests in TESTS W/O CODES article. If fuel pressure drop is less than 5 psi, remove fuel pressure gauge, reconnect inertia switch, and go to next step.
4) Check Injector & Harness Resistance Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect pins for damage. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Do the following
PFI ENGINES
Measure resistance of injector banks between test pins No. 37 and 58 (Right or rear) or 59 (Left or front) at breakout box. Record resistance. Refer to CAR - INJECTOR BANK RESISTANCE table.
SEQUENTIAL PFI ENGINES
Measure resistance between the suspect cylinder test pin (from the Cylinder Balance Test) and test pin No. 37 at the breakout box. Refer to CAR - INDIVIDUAL INJECTOR RESISTANCE table. For no starts, choose any injector and measure resistance between that injector circuit test pin and test pin No. 37 at breakout box. Record resistance. Refer to CAR - INDIVIDUAL INJECTOR RESISTANCE table.
Go to next step.
Remove breakout box and reconnect ECA. Service open/short in harness/connector. If okay, replace injector. Rerun QUICK TEST and Cylinder Balance Test.
For No Start: Service open in VPWR circuit.
5) Isolate Faulty Injector Circuit Turn key off. Install breakout box and disconnect ECA. Disconnect all injectors on suspect bank. With DVOM set on 200-ohm scale, connect one injector and measure resistance between test pins No. 37 and 58 or 59. Disconnect injector and repeat process for all other injectors. See CAR - INDIVIDUAL INJECTOR RESISTANCE table for specifications. If all injectors are within specifications, go to step 6). If injectors are not to specification, remove breakout box, reconnect ECA and injectors. Repair open or short in injector harness. If circuit is okay, replace injector. Rerun QUICK TEST.
6) Check Injector Drive Signal With key off and breakout box installed, connect ECA to breakout box. Use a non-powered 12-volt test light and the following connection procedure
Connect test light between test pins No. 37 and 58 at the breakout box. Connect light between test pins No. 37 and 59 at breakout box.
Connect test light between test pin No. 37 and the suspect injector(s) test pin at the breakout box.
Crank or start engine. A properly operating system is indicated by a test light that glows dimly. If light glows dimly, go to next step; except on sequential PFI engines. On sequential PFI engine, remove breakout box and reconnect ECA. Clean and test injectors. Rerun QUICK TEST and CYLINDER BALANCE TEST. If test light does not glow dimly, perform the following procedure
- No Light - Check for 12 volts at test pins No. 37 and 57.
- Bright Light - Check injector circuit for shorts to ground. If system is okay, remove breakout box and replace ECA. Remove breakout box, reconnect all components and repeat QUICK TEST.
7) Fuel Pressure Problems: External Sources Pressurize fuel system as per procedure in step 1) of this test. Examine fuel system using the following procedures as applicable
Visually inspect, fuel injector "O" rings, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel rails. If there is a visible leak, remove pressure gauge. Repair leak as necessary. Rerun QUICK TEST. If there is no leak, go to next step. Fuel delivery system is okay. Problem is in common area for all cylinders, such as, vacuum leak, fuel contamination, or EGR leak.
8) Injector Balance Test Connect tachometer to engine. Start and run engine at idle. Disconnect and reconnect injectors one at a time. Note RPM drop for each injector. Each injector should produce a momentary RPM drop of about 100 RPM. Note that ISC will attempt to re-establish correct RPM. If each injector does not produce at least 100 RPM drop when disconnected, service or replace faulty injector(s) and repeat QUICK TEST. If RPM drop is correct for all injectors, fuel delivery is okay. Problem is in area common to all cylinders such as a vacuum leak, fuel contamination, EGR, or HEGO ground. Check MAP frequency, etc.
9) Cylinder Balance Test: Sequential PFI Engines ONLY Perform KOER Self-Test. After last code is displayed, wait 5-10 seconds. Enter CYLINDER BALANCE TEST by briefly opening throttle for one second (not WOT). Test time is approximately 2-3 minutes. A Code 77 indicates that the throttle was touched when the test was running and that the test was not completed. Use table to interpret codes received from test. If balance test does not display Code 90, go to step 4). If balance test displays Code 90 (Pass), fuel delivery is okay, fault is in an area common to all cylinders (except vehicles with Codes 41/91 or 42/92). Vehicles with Code 41 or 91 displayed, go to next step. If a Code 42 or 92 is displayed, go to step 23)

18) Attempt to Eliminate Code 41: Engines With MAP Sensor Turn key off. Install breakout box and reconnect ECA and HEGO sensor. Ensure MAP sensor vacuum hose is disconnected and plugged. Start and run engine at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes. Allow engine to return to idle. Apply 10-14 in. Hg to MAP sensor. Perform KOER Self-Test. If Code 41 is still present, remove breakout box. Reconnect ECA and MAP sensor vacuum line. If engine still runs rough, go to TEST S, step 2). If not, replace ECA and repeat QUICK TEST.
If Code 41 is not present, remove breakout box and reconnect ECA and MAP sensor vacuum hose. HEGO input circuit is okay. On sequential PFI engines, fuel delivery is okay, fault is in an area common to all areas. Service as necessary. On all other engines return to step 1) of this test.
Note. There is a break in the step numbering sequence at this point, skipping from step 18) to step 20). Break is due to previous chart references to these testing procedures. No test procedures have been omitted.
20) Check Resistance of HEGO Heating Element Turn key off, disconnect HEGO sensor, and set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Measure resistance between KPWR circuit and PWR GND circuit at HEGO sensor connector. Hot to warm resistance should be 5.0-25.0 ohms. Room temperature resistance is 2.0-5.0 ohms. If resistance is within specification, go to next step. If not, replace HEGO sensor, and repeat QUICK TEST.
21) Check For Power at HEGO Harness Connector With KOEO, and HEGO disconnected, set DVOM on 20-volt scale. Measure voltage between KEY POWER circuit and PWR GND circuit at HEGO vehicle harness connector. If voltage is greater than 10.5 volts, HEGO system is okay, go to step 1) of this test (except sequential PFI engines). On vehicles equipped with sequential PFI engines, fuel delivery is okay, HEGO sensor may have cooled prior to KOER Self-Test. If a driveability symptom persists, fault is in an area common to all cylinders such as air or vacuum leaks, fuel contamination, EGR, MAP, etc. For all vehicles, if voltage is less than 10.5 volts, go to next step.
22) Check Continuity of Power Ground Circuit Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect HEGO sensor and set DVOM on 200-ohm scale. Measure resistance between PWR GND circuit at HEGO vehicle harness connector and battery negative post. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair open in KEY POWER circuit. Reconnect HEGO and rerun QUICK TEST. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, reconnect HEGO sensor and repair open in PWR GND circuit. Reconnect HEGO sensor and rerun QUICK TEST.
23) Code 42 or 92: Fuel Control Always Rich, Check HEGO SIGNAL For Short To Power On dual HEGO systems, Code 42 refers to right (or rear) side HEGO, Code 92 refers to left (or front) side HEGO. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect appropriate HEGO sensor. Set DVOM on 20-volt scale. With KOEO, measure voltage between HEGO SIG and PWR GND at HEGO vehicle harness connector. If reading is more than .5 volt, repair short to power in HEGO circuit. Reconnect HEGO sensor and repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is less than 0.5 volt, go to next step.
24) Check HEGO Sensor For Short to KPWR Circuit Turn key off. Disconnect HEGO sensor. Set DVOM on 200-k/ohm scale. Measure resistance from KPWR circuit to HEGO SIG circuit at HEGO sensor connector. If reading is 10 k/ohms or less, replace HEGO sensor and repeat QUICK TEST. If reading is greater than 10 k/ohms, go to next step.
25) Attempt to Generate Code 41 or 91 The following non-EEC areas may cause these codes: fuel contaminated engine oil, ignition misfire and faulty CANP system. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect appropriate HEGO sensor. Using jumper wire, connect HEGO SIG circuit at HEGO vehicle harness connector to battery negative terminal. Repeat KOER Self-Test. If Code 41 or 91 is present, remove jumper wire and go to next step for engines with MAP. For all other engines, go to step 28). If Codes 41 and 91 are not present, remove jumper wire. Disconnect ECA connector and inspect for damage. If connector is okay, replace ECA. Repeat QUICK TEST.
Note. Because MAP sensor has a large influence on fuel control, a Code 42 or 92 may be the result of a faulty MAP sensor, even though a Code 22 has not been set. The next 2 test steps will verify the MAP vacuum circuit.
26) Check MAP Sensor For Vacuum Leaks Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect vacuum hose from MAP sensor and connect vacuum pump to sensor. Apply 18 in Hg to MAP sensor. If sensor does not hold vacuum, replace MAP sensor. Remove vacuum pump. Connect vacuum hose and reconnect HEGO. Repeat QUICK TEST. If MAP holds vacuum, release vacuum and go to next step.

Disconnect the PCV valve hose from the PCV valve.
Start engine and run at approximately 2000 RPM. DVOM should indicate less than 0.4 volt within 30 seconds. If not, replace HEGO sensor. Reconnect vacuum hoses and repeat QUICK TEST. If voltage is to specification, HEGO sensor is okay. If engine has sequential PFI, fuel delivery is okay, problem is in an area common to all cylinders, such as a vacuum leak, fuel contamination, EGR system, MAP frequency, etc. Service as necessary. For all other engines, go to step 1) of this test.
29) Continuous Memory Code 41 or 91 (With Exhaust Odor or Smoke) Codes 41 or 91 indicate that a HEGO circuit has not switched during closed loop fuel control. In this situation a Code 41 or 91 may not indicate a lean condition. Diagnose all other driveability complaints (see SYMPTOMS in TESTS W/O CODES article) before attempting to service a Continuous Memory Code 41 or 91. Check the following areas

- Fouled injectors
- Air leaks between MAF and air outlet tube
HEGO Fuel Fouled
- If an over-rich condition is suspected of fouling the HEGO sensor, run the vehicle at sustained high (legal) speeds followed by a few hard acceleration runs. This will allow the HEGO contamination to be burned off.
Ignition System
- Check for DEFAULT base timing in QUICK TEST procedure.

103) Check EEC-IV Harness A Continuous Memory Code 59 or 96, without the presence of a Continuous Memory Code 83 or 87, indicates that during vehicle operation the fuel pump relay contacts have opened or that there is an open in the POWER-to-PUMP circuit from the IRCM pin No. 5 to the FPM splice. Start engine and listen for fuel pump stopping, stall or stumble while performing WIGGLE TEST on PUMP-to-POWER circuit from IRCM to FPM splice. With key off, inspect IRCM 24-pin connector and harness. If a fault is found, isolate and repair, clear codes and retest. If no fault is found, problem cannot be duplicated at this time. Clear codes and rerun QUICK TEST.
104) Continuous Memory Code 83 or 87: Check EEC-IV Harness A Continuous Memory Code 83 or 87 indicates that during vehicle operation there has been an open condition in the VPWR circuit of the IRCM, an open coil in the fuel pump relay, or an open in the fuel pump primary circuit.
Start engine and listen for fuel pump stopping, stall or stumble while performing WIGGLE TEST on EEC-IV harness fuel pump circuit (pin No. 22 or 41) between the ECA and IRCM (pin No. 18 or 11). With key off, inspect harness and connectors. If a fault is found, isolate and repair, clear codes and retest. If no fault is found, problem cannot be duplicated at this time. Clear codes and rerun QUICK TEST.
