ECU Check
Hi all,
I have connected the wires to check for fault codes. However when I turn the ignition to the required position it flashes straight away.
Have read instructions that tell you that the car will do some self tests, with mine the light starts flashing almost instantly without any fan tests or anything.
Does this sound right?
The car is a V4 Type R.
Ta,
Dave

it will flash straight away mate but you have to watch it
In Diagnostic Mode – No Fault is indicated by the CEL continuously & evenly flashing on/off (this is also used to indicate the successful completion of an ECU Reset) SEE "OK code" in diagram below.
The long pulses (1.3 Seconds) indicate Tens and the short pulses (0.2 Seconds) indicate ones. Pulses are separated by Short Pauses (0.2 Seconds), multiple codes are separated by a Long Pause (1.8 Seconds) SEE "Trouble codes" in diagram & examples below.
The simplest way for an inexperienced mechanic to retrieve codes is to write the codes down in a sort of Morse Code (dots and dashes), and start a new line when you get a 1.8 Second pause (for NEW code), and then add the actual numbers up after code retrieval is completed.
