VISUAL CHECK & VEHICLE PREPARATION
Before connecting any equipment to diagnose EEC system, perform following preparatory procedures:
Verify condition of air cleaner and air ducts.
Check all vacuum hoses for leaks, restrictions, or improper routing.
Check EEC system wiring harness electrical connections for corrosion, bent or broken pins, loose wires or terminals, or improper
routing.
Check ECA, sensors, and actuators for physical damage.
Check engine oil and coolant level.
Perform all necessary safety precautions to prevent personal injury or vehicle damage.
Set parking brake. Place shift lever in Park for automatic transmissions, or Neutral for manual transmissions. DO NOT move shift lever
during test unless specifically directed.
Turn off all lights and accessories. Ensure vehicle doors are closed when measuring voltage or resistance.
Start engine. Run at idle until upper radiator hose is hot and pressurized and engine is off fast idle. Check for leaks around exhaust
manifold, exhaust gas oxygen sensor, and vacuum hose connections.
Turn ignition off. Service items as required. Go to EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP .

Engine control system communicates malfunctions to technician through service codes. These service codes are 2-digit numbers representing a
particular defect. Service codes are transmitted through STO connector.
Service codes are displayed as timed pulses, and may be read with a VOM or Super Star II tester. VOM displays codes by needle sweeps. See
Fig. 2
.
Turn ignition off. Ensure all procedures of EQUIPMENT HOOK
-UP have been followed. Engine should be at normal operating
temperature.

VOM
Disconnect and reconnect jumper wire from STI terminal to ground. Turn ignition on. Record displayed codes. Erase codes, and repeat test
procedure to verify all codes are currently valid. See ERASING CODES & RETESTING . Service only those codes which appear during
retest. Refer to TROUBLE CODE DEFINITION
table to find appropriate pinpoint test.
MIL
Turn ignition on. Connect a jumper wire between STI connector and ground. Observe MIL, and record pulses to determine codes stored.
SUPER STAR II Tester
Set center button to TEST position. Turn ignition on. Turn tester on. When activated, tester should display 888 for 2 seconds. Release and
reset center TEST button. After all codes are displayed, release center button. All codes in tester memory may now be reviewed.
ERASING CODES & RETESTING
Erasing codes and retesting will give an indication of whether codes are hard or intermittent defects. Hard codes reset immediately and will be
displayed during retest.
Disconnect negative battery cable. Press brake pedal for 5-10 seconds. Turn off VOM or Super Star II tester. Reconnect battery. Perform tests
under RETRIEVING CODES

QUICK TESTS
KEY ON, ENGINE OFF (KOEO) SELF-TEST
KOEO
1. This is a test of electronic engine control system, conducted with power (voltage) applied and engine not running. Activate self-test, and
record all codes displayed.
2. Erase codes, and repeat self-test. Diagnose only codes occurring during repeat self-test. See TROUBLE CODE DEFINITION
table. If
no codes are present, proceed to KEY ON, ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF
-TEST .
KEY ON, ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) SELF-TEST
KOER
1. Deactivate self-test. Start and run engine at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes to warm up EGO sensor. Turn off engine and wait 10 seconds.
2. Restart engine, and activate self-test. Record all service codes displayed. See TROUBLE CODE DEFINITION
table. If no codes are
present, proceed to SWITCH MONITOR TEST
.
SWITCH MONITOR TEST
This test procedure checks input signals received by ECA from individual switches. Use following procedure to perform switch monitor test:
Turn engine off and allow it to cool.
Ensure all accessories are turned off.
Deactivate self-test.
Ensure transmission is in Neutral or Park.
Turn ignition on.
SUPER STAR II Tester
Connect Super Star II tester adapter cable. Turn on tester. Latch center button. Operate each switch listed in SWITCH MONITOR TEST
table. Note output of LED on adapter cable as each switch operates. Record test results.

WIGGLE TEST
Checking Circuitry
1. Visually inspect suspected sensor, switch, or solenoid. Enter WIGGLE TEST if using Super Star II tester. If using VOM, connect it to
STO terminal on self-test connector, and ground STI self-test connector terminal. Lightly tap sensor, switch, or solenoid.
2. Push and pull on suspected sensor, switch, or solenoid connector, but DO NOT unplug it. Test and wiggle harness vigorously, working
in small sections, from suspected device toward dash panel, and from dash panel to ECA.
3. If VOM or Super Star II tester does not display a positive indication of an intermittent defect, carefully disconnect suspected device.
Remove terminals from connector.
4. Inspect terminals at both ends for corrosion, bad crimps, or improperly seated terminals. Reconnect after inspection. Unplug harness
fro m E CA.
5. Inspect ECA and harness connector terminals for corrosion, bad crimps, or improperly seated terminals. If VOM does not indicate any
intermittent defect, reconnect wiring and erase codes.
PINPOINT TESTS
HOW TO USE PINPOINT TESTS
1. DO NOT perform any PINPOINT TEST unless directed by a QUICK TESTS procedure. Ensure all non-EEC related defects are
corrected. Follow each test step in order until defect is found. DO NOT replace any part unless so directed. When more than one service
code exists, start with first code displayed.
2. PINPOINT TESTS require ensuring electrical circuits are okay before replacing sensors or any other components. Always test circuits
for continuity between sensor and ECA. Test all circuits for shorts to power, opens, or shorts to ground. VREF and VPWR circuits
should be tested with KOEO or as specified in PINPOINT TESTS.
3. DO NOT measure voltage or resistance at ECA, or connect any test light unless specified in testing procedure. DO NOT pierce wiring.
Isolate both ends of a circuit and turn key off whenever checking for shorts or continuity, unless otherwise specified.
4. Disconnect solenoids and switches before checking circuit continuity or energizing solenoids.
5. An open is defined as any resistance greater than 10,000 ohms, unless otherwise specified.
6. To help diagnose circuits to ECA, turn ignition off and disconnect ECA harness. Connect BOB between ECA and ECA harness to
perform circuit and pinpoint tests.
