On 1984 to 1986 V6 only models the codes can also be read. First locate the
diagnostics connector which is on the left fenderwell and is divided into two
sections with six in the lower section ( 3 rows of 2 ) and fifteen in the upper
section ( 3 rows of 5 ). In the upper section you have to run a wire between
terminal six ( first row 4 down from the top ) and terminal 7 ( third row 3 down
from the top ). Then turn the key into the on position making sure not to start it
while these terminals are connected at any time. It should flash the code 12 ( 1
flash, pause, 2 flashes ) three times in a row and will repeat this sequence until
disconnected if no other codes are recorded. If there are any faults stored then
they will follow afterwards repeating themselves three times before moving on to
the next code. To clear to codes remove negative cable for 10 seconds or longer.
Code Description Most likely reason

running, no signal between distributor and computer.

computer and TPS ends.

re-check after driving.
34 MAP sensor. Check wiring and hose in case of leak. Otherwise replace.
41 No distributor signal. Check distributor wiring and pick-up coil connections.
42 EST or bypass problem. Check wire to terminal 12 on ECM or faulty HEI module can
cause same code.
44 Lean exhaust. Check for sticking M/C solenoid also terminals 9 and 14 at ECM.
Vacuum leakage or faulty O2 sensor.
44-45 O2 sensor or circuit. O2 circuit wiring or sensor faulty.
45 Rich exhaust. Check for sticking M/C solenoid and wiring plus charcoal canister
for fuel. O2 sensor faulty.

ECM faulty

En los modelos del 98 al 2002 puedes acceder al sistema de codigos de la siguiente

manera: Inserta la llave y sin girarla presiona por completo el boton RESET del
cuenta kilometros y mantenlo. Luego gira la llave hacia la posicion de encendido
(sin producir ignicion!!!) tres veces dejando la llave en la posision de encendido.
Suelta el boton de RESET y veras como las agujas se sacuden y el cuenta kilometros
comienza una cuenta regresiva hasta mostrar un numero de dos digitos el cual
representa un codigo de falla.
