EM1 Diagnostic

[DEFNYA]

Just a quickie, saw the thread on how to put your car into diagnostic mode via the plug near the ECU. Is it the same for the em1 or is it located somewhere else cant seem to find it

[ECU-MAN]

yes its the same

look near the ecu. its the same as EG

2 pin blue connector, should be plugged in to a green rubber/plastic type of housing along with the 3 pin DLC

is it dangerous to have b16a computer on b18c motor

it will still run...good enough to get it to a workshop or somewhere with a proper B18c computer atleast. Hey , even a OBD1 ECU will run a later B series enough to get it somewhere :)

[ECU-MAN]

only dangerous if you drive it hard.

granny drive it to place of repair will be ok

thats the one u need.what colours are the wires coming off the blue plug?

ABS & ECU are tested with the same plug.
The results are just read off different lights,ie check engine light for ecu & ABS light for ABS.

Hmmm... mine is on the inside of the passenger footwell (next to the drivetrain "hump"). A small blue plug.

by memory the wires were black and brown...no error code on the chekc engine light though only on the ABS light which flashes code 54 inoperative relay?? whatever that means? I think i can see the same problem i had before which is in the exhaust where the extractors meet the cat there is a joint that always comes lose therefore i think im losing backpressure once again...anyone had this problem??? is there a permanent fix for it.. its the big thick gasket in between the extractors and cat.
Its drivin me mad i've lost power again!!!!!!
