Code Output

  1. Deactivate SELF-TEST (disconnect jumper wire). Start engine and run it at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes to warm up EGO sensor. Turn engine off and wait 10 seconds. Insert jumper to activate SELF-TEST. DO NOT  depress throttle during test unless a Dynamic Response code occurs.
  2. Start engine. The engine ID code will be displayed. Run test. If Dynamic Response code 1 (10 with STAR tester) occurs, briefly accelerate engine to wide open throttle. The ENGINE RUNNING SELF-TEST service codes will then be displayed. Observe and record all codes.
NOTE: On the 5.0L SEFI engine a service code 98 may appear instead of the engine ID code, indicating the need to obtain a code 11 for the KEY ON/ENGINE OFF SELF-TEST portion of the QUICK  TEST.
