Default Odd code reported by PCM

Code flashes looked very much like 3,3,2,5,5. I interpreted it as 35 and 55. Problem with that is my radiator fan is clutch driven, no relay. 33 is quite possible since I do have an A/C but what would the 2 be? And the A/C appears to work perfectly fine. Turns on and off as it should, gets cold, etc.


Anything I should keep an eye on in this truck? Doesn't appear to have any issues but I'm not familiar with tendencies in this model line.

I'm guessing not but I haven't found any recent posts yet: is there something like WinALDL for this truck?

Thanks!

??? i would run the codes again, helps to have someone with you while you count then call off # they write it down, i found if i take my eyes of it for a split second to record # i loose track of the process. also do it twice to dbbl check.

I believe your misreading the first one, what you think is 3 is 12. You got 12, 32, 55.

12. Direct battery input to PCM was disconnected within the last 50 key-on cycles.(Normal)
32. An open or shorted condition detected in the EGR solenoid circuit.
55. Completion of fault code display on Check Engine Lamp. (end of codes) (Normal)

So all you have to worry about is your EGR is acting up.

I hate pulling codes on older vehicles so I started out with a helper and did it three times. I kept thinking I looked at it wrong.

The only phone we have that can record video is such crap that you can't really rely on the video for anything (phones are for making phone calls, if I want a camera, I'll buy a camera!).

Tried again while paying extra attention to the first few flashes. I believe you're right. Now I just need to figure out what to do about the EGR solenoid or jackets.

Thanks!
