Feedback System
- Start engine and warm to operating temperature. Ensure idle speed and timing are adjusted to specification. Monitor Green LED on ECU while increasing engine speed to about 2000 RPM for 2 minutes under no-load condition.
- Note the number of flashes by Green LED every 10 seconds. See ECU GREEN LED FEEDBACK RESPONSEΒ table. Number of flashes during a 10-second period should at least equal number of flashes listed in table.
- Race engine 2 or 3 times and allow to idle. Enter self-diagnostic Mode II. Disconnect throttle sensor/switch harness connector. Monitor Red LED and Green LED while idling. Red LED and Green LED should flash simultaneously. If not, adjust airflow meter (if adjustable). See ADJUSTMENTS article.
- If airflow meter adjustment does not affect the LEDs, and ECU self-diagnostic system only flashes Code 55 (pass), either airflow meter, oxygen sensor or ECU is defective.
