update and question

Featured Replies

Hello again

 

first

thanks to everyone who gave me information on finding my codes

 

now as an update

{can i flap or what!}

 

i was trying to get my codes again

and looking under the hood and dash for all the connectors

and i noticed the green timming connector AND the clear memory connector

were BOTH plugged in

i've unplugged them

and the check engine light hasn't come on yet

Only about 20 Klicks of driving yet though ......

 

 

now after all that .....

 

is there anything detrimental i should look for

that may have been caused by those two plugs being plugged in ??

 

i'm gonna drive it a bit more and check for codes again

but i'm just wondering if i should be expecting other things

 

 

thanks again you guys{and girls}

 

you've helped me alot

 

and more in the future i'm sure !!

Nope, no damage.

 

Both connectors plugged in just clears the ECU memory of all stored codes.

no problems with having had the timming adjustment connector plugged in ??

 

or just crappy mileage ??

With the green connector plugged in and the black disconnected, the ECU is put into Diagnostic mode. This mode is used by the dealer for extracting additional codes from a running engine. You're not supposed to leave this connector plugged in for any extended period. Shouldn't cause permanent damage, except to your bank balance.
