OBD1 Check Engine Light Codes
#46
Lead Lap
My 1993 SC400 is celing code 17 or 71 as it's flasshes all come in continuous stream? can one of my new friends tell me the meaning of these two? 17 or 71. I am jumpered from TE1 to E1with the sophisticated pliable current conducting "paperclip" again i get 17 or a 71 totally different codes. A complete list would be to much to hope for?
17 - not listed, engine would probably not be running if that code came up, low numbers are critical codes.
71 EGR System.

Is it 17 or 71?
I had copied the codes for OBD1 on a word doc. And I had thought that this would end up being the EGR! Thanks for brain storming for me, and good luck pulling wrenches. You made me think back, "The check light does not begin to flash until the key is turned on. I will pay closer attention and run the test again and see for sure if the 1 comes up before the 7 or if it could be vise versa, and thus the EGR.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

I was getting the bank 1 random misfire code, IAC circuit fault, and MAF circuit fault, hard starts and bad gas mileage. This all stemmed from changing the air cleaner filter. Ipart of the problem was starting the car right after while the MAF was accidentally left unplugged and the other more serious issue was a tear in the air cleaner duct. I just swapped it for a piece of pipe and it's back to its former glory. It's worth mentioning I have a lot of blow-by but that's what you get on a cat this neglected

I'm bumping this thread again because it has some awesome information that I desperately needed! I've only always had OBD II cars so this is a whole new experience for me, haha.
Thank you!!

Okay guys - did the jumper thing and I get the engine light flashing all the time - no pauses. Would a guy want to just check the connections to the ECU or just pony up and get a new ECU. Car is not running right now as I replaced the fuel injectors and have had two more sent as replacements and they both leaked badly. So waiting on another replacement so I can hopefully get the car turned around so I can get to the passenger side. Damned one car garages!

Trouble code 42
So they transmission shop in Omaha they got trouble code 42 which is the vehicle speed sensor so and I have problems with it not shifting into higher gear so do I need a vehicle speed sensor or is it the one that has the two wires going out of it for the automatic transmission so I'm kind of confused on what I should do here
