how to do a diagnostic

suprra_girl · 10-17-2005, 12:20 PM

yep... ppl have used paper clips

that white gunk is used to keep the terminals in good health i believe

Thanks, supra girl. I have no idea what "t" and "e1" mean, but I will try to search for this tomorrow.

My hood shocks are "tired", so I hate to look under my hood coz I need one arm to keep it up, or a stick, which I never keep around =P

hehe good luck with ya codes

look in engine bay
locate fusebox
beside fusebox = another box with diagnostic written on it
inside diag box on lid you will see pin diagram
find T & E1 (also known as TE1 & E1) on the lid then match up with diag pins and put wire or paper clip into those to connect them together and walah... your cel will flash or do something

Good stuff

My car died on me last night. I called my sister's husband and he pulled me with a cable (illegal here, but didn't wanna pay tow truck). I did the diagnostic today, I have codes 42 and 43. I know 42 is because I removed speedocable.

So 43 is what made my car suddenly shut off last night.. or at least I think so... gonna check some stuff with the multimeter, but I'm no good at this stuff. =(

my car is also blinking 42 and 43.....but only when i start it, and turn it back off and then put the key to on again. It runs fine thou. im guessing 42 is cause my speedo is broken, but what exactly does 43 mean?

code 43 is starter signal, no starter signal

I am gonna try the diannostics now! I also have done a tune up and helped but did not fix the problem.

ok, i finally figured it out, took me like..10 mins haha so lame its been 3 months.
ok so its a 42...WHICH makes sense, cause my speedometer doesnt work, when i bought the car, the previous owner thought it was a speedo cable..but i guess not.

does anyone know if the sensor is in the transmission or is it behind the dash? what is a good way to test the sensor to make sure?

Did you get the trans. sensor issue straightened out yet? If not, I can help you.
