Hey NJMAXSELTD,
I've ordered the Haynes manual but it will take a few days to reach me. Last night I followed the procedure on your web site for extrapolating the ECU error codes. I performed the test four times and got the same consistant results each time. There were two error codes that showed up: 02 01 (Ignition Signal Circuit) and 14 05 (?). The ECU Decoded didn't have the number fourteen as an option for the first code number (it only went as high as thirteen). Had the second code been 13 05 it would have equaled Fuel Pump Control Module.
Just looking for personal opinions here, so what are your thoughts on the following:
(1) What is a 14 05? Is it just an errant code that I shouldn't be concerned with?
(2) When the Check Engine Light originally came on the motor was running somewhat rough (as if one cylinder had not been firing). After sitting over the weekend I started the motor and appeared to run flawlessly (although the Check Engine Light was still on). After diagnosing the error codes AND resetting the Check engine light the motor still seems to operate normally (all cylinders appear to be firing). I put about forty miles on the car this morning and the Check Enging Light has not come back on. Could the motor have experienced some kind of electrical "hic-up" that caused the Check Engine Light to first come on?
(3) I'm a shade-tree mechanic only. I can take things off and put them back on and change fluids but beyond that and I'm out of my element. GIven that, should I just take this in for the dealer to fix or am I simply looking at replacing a sensor or two ?
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks
SmL
