HARD FAILURES
Hard failures cause CHECK ENGINE light to glow and remain on until problem is repaired. If light comes on and remains on (light may flash) during vehicle operation, cause of malfunction must be determined using diagnostic (code) charts. If a sensor fails, control unit will use a substitute value in its calculations to continue engine operation. In this condition, commonly known as limp-in mode, vehicle runs but driveability will not be optimum.
INTERMITTENT FAILURES
Intermittent failures may cause CHECK ENGINE light to flicker or glow and go out after intermittent fault goes away. However, corresponding trouble code will be retained in ECU memory. If related fault does not reoccur within a certain time frame, related trouble code will be erased from ECU memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by sensor, connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article.
RETRIEVING CODES
- Enter specific test mode by connecting or disconnecting read memory and/or test mode connectors as shown in the «RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MODES & CONNECTORS»(ref-26045-S38193249982001010500000) table. Connectors are located behind left side of instrument panel. (Scheme 7)
- Observe malfunction indicator light (CHECK ENGINE light) or O2 sensor monitor light. Note any trouble codes. Long illumination periods of 1.2 seconds designate tens digit in numbered codes. Short illumination periods of.2 second designate ones digit in numbered codes.
- Tens and ones digits are separated by a.3-second interval of non-illumination. For example: 3 long flashes (1.2 seconds each) followed by 5 short flashes (.2 second each) designate code 35.
- After a 2-second break, another code will be displayed. Once all existing codes have been displayed, sequence will repeat.
| Mode | Read Memory Connector | Test Mode Connector |
|---|---|---|
| U-CHECK (1) | Disconnected | Disconnected |
| READ MEMORY (1) | Connected | Disconnected |
| D-CHECK (1) | Disconnected | Connected |
| CLEAR MEMORY (2) | Connected | Connected |
| (1) Key on, engine off. (2) Key on, engine running. | ||

CLEARING CODES
After malfunction has been corrected, trouble code will clear from memory when CLEAR MEMORY mode is accessed. Unless all items check okay in D-CHECK mode, memory will not be cleared. Refer to the RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MODES & CONNECTORS table.
SUMMARY
If no hard fault codes (or only pass codes) are present, driveability symptoms exist or intermittent codes exist, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.) or intermittent diagnostic procedures.

Using an ohmmeter, backprobe ECU and check resistance between ECU connector B59, terminal No. 4 and temperature sensor connector terminal No. 2 (Green/White wire), and between ECU connector B59, terminal No. 11 and temperature sensor connector terminal No. 1 (Black/Red wire). Resistance should be zero ohms for both circuits.
- Check resistance between sensor connector terminal No. 2(Green/White wire) and ground. Resistance should be one megohm or greater. If resistances are as specified, replace EGR temperature sensor. If resistances are not as specified, repair appropriate circuit as necessary.
CODE 56: EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
A faulty EGR system may cause poor driveability at low engine speed. Check for mechanical problem with EGR valve, faulty EGR vacuum controller and/or EGR line. Check for EGR valve stuck in open or closed position. For EGR system diagnosis, see I - SYS/COMP TESTS article.
