Engine Diagnostics

Postby Audi » Sun Dec 05, 2004 2:38 pm

Which two ports do I need to connect to display the engine check lights? On my 3SGTE if it makes any difference.

If any fault codes do show up, you can either remove the ECU fuse for a few seconds or disconnect the -ve cable from the battery to clear them.

All fault codes are 2 digit numbers. It is possible for more than one fault code to be stored at a time.. Below is an example of how a check engine light would flash if codes 12 and 43 were stored. The "......" represent the length of time between the flashes and the "#" represents the flashes.


........#....#..#..............#..#..#..#....#..#..#...............#....#..#..............#..#..#..#....#..#..#..

Once you take your time and study the check engine light, it is easy to read the fault codes.
Now, rather than put all the codes down here (there are 19 of them), count the numbers and let me knwow what they are and I'll confirm the diagnosis.
