Subarunner Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hey Suberoids, Thanks for all the help on chasing my previous smog issues. I found out that in my 86' Wagon's past life, someone had replaced the rear cat with a muffler. I'm pretty sure that's what caused me to fail as a gross polluter. I will find out for sure this weekend when I replace the exhaust system with the one from my 85' parts car and go for recertification. Last week out of the blue, my EGR warning light on the dash come on. My Hanes Manual doesn't give me a decent wiring diagram so troubleshooting is a little rough. Does anyone where the sender is that would cause the light to come on? It's an 86' 4x4 Wagon, MT, Carburated, Federal, Non-Computer controlled. Thanks Corbin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubuild Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Above or behind your fuse box there are 3 single wire connectors, 2 blue & 1 green. TTth Two of these will be connected, either blue with the blue or blue with the green. Unplug the two currently connected and connect the female blue connector to the previously unused green or blue connector. This resets the EGR light.

dsrt4x4 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Wow, I posted the same thing a while back, and got no help. I finally pulled the bulb out of my light. Thanks. Also, at what milage did yours come on, was it exactly at like 180,000 or something like that, that is when mine came on. I guess I can do this fix to mine now and put the bulb back in.

torxxx Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 well heres the rest of the story about that light. It comes on every 60,000 miles. so at 60 120 180 thousand miles its going to come on. Its "supposed" to be a factory tune up time light.
