CEL help

[madcao]

i'm trying to turn my CEL off so i can pass inspection. i gotta 1990 ae92 gts. when i remove the 15 amp efi fuse from the fuse box, the light is off. the second i plug that fuse back, the CEL shows it's ugly face. any suggestions? thanks. -sang

what code is it?

[madcao]

how do you check the code? i remember reading somewhere that you have to jump a wire somewhere...

i dont know where on the 86 since it has no dlc.


can anyone chime in on this?

since it's an ae92 it'll be similar to the kouki 86 diagnostic connector. it'll be an enclosed box type connector.

-turn the key to the ON position (don't turn the car over).
-then pop open the cover and jumper the T terminal to the E1 terminal using a 16 or 18 gauge wire or paper clip. which ever.

then count the number of times the CEL blinks.

there's a slight pause between counts for 2 digit codes. there's a slightly longer pause between codes. then there's a long pause before the codes repeat themselves.

capice?
