Engine Light keeps blinking when I try to pull the codes..

[VtecAid]

Hey guys , Today i tried to pull my engine codes since it never bothered me thinking it was my o2 sensor but after some problems with my tuning , my tuner suggested to check my engine codes. So to the point when I try to pull the codes my engine light just keeps blinking with about 3 seconds in between , I counted more than 20 times and tried this more than twice..

What type of scanner are you using?

How many times does the lamp blink in each session

 

[rickzgsr]

There can be up to 31 blinks. For example if 6x, your ect sensor is bad.

31 blinks?? :O i though the codes only went up to 92 .. They are all long blinks with 3 secs inbetween i went up to 20x before giving up..

Ok either way i went all the way to 40 and just keeps blinking after that .. 5 secs between each blink.

No. Count the first few blinks, write the # of blinks down and then it will pause for 3 seconds and blink again...count those blinks and write them down. Add those 2 #s and you have your code.

Example: 4 blinks -3 second pause - 1 blink = 41...therefore it will be a code 41

If it only blinks once and then it pauses, then it would be a code 1 which is an oxygen sensor

LOL i think that solved my problem HAHAH! I was about to shoot myself.. So since my o2 is eliminated im guessing it's the one by the TB?

Most likely
