RE: scan codes??
Shut your engine off if it is running. Turn the iginition key to the on and off positions (do not turn the key to the start position) within 5 seconds using this sequence: ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON.
The "Power Loss", "Limited", or "Check Engine" light will begin flashing. By counting the number of flashes between delays, you will retrieve two digit numbers. So, for a code 12 and a code 55, you would see the following sequence:
FLASH-(delay)-FLASH-FLASH-(long delay)
FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-(delay)-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH
All code sequences end with a code 55, so once you've received a 55 there are no further messages. If you just receive a code 55, that means there are no codes to send (the ECU thinks everything is OK). It is also normal see a code 33 if you do not have air conditioning. You will never see more than 7 flashes in a row, so watch for delays. A code will stay in the ECU for 15 engine on/off cycles, so don't expect a code to disappear immediately after you make a repair. To see if you have fixed the problem that generated the code, your can erase all codes by removing power to the ECU (by disconnecting the battery or otherwise) for about 10 minutes. This will clear the ECU's memory and generate code 11 and code 12. Crank or start the engine to see if the code in question returns. The code 11 should disappear as soon as the engine is cranked and the code 12 will disappear after 15 on/off cycles.
