1986 3.8L Fuel Injection, VIN B
13 Oxygen sensor voltage stays between 0.35 and 0.55 volts for 30 seconds when the TPS signal was above 0.55 volts. The engine had been running for at least 40 seconds with an engine temperature above 110° F.
14 Coolant temperature sensor signal indicates a temperature of over 284° F for 4 seconds after the engine had been running for at least 10 seconds.
15 Coolant temperature sensor signal indicates a temperature colder than -36° F for at least 4 seconds after the engine had been running for 2 seconds.
16 Charging system voltage was either below 9 volts or above 16 volts for 10 seconds.
21 TPS voltage was above 0.8 volts for 5 seconds when engine was running and air flow was less than 15 gm/sec, or the TPS voltage was over 4.8 volts at any time.
22 TPS voltage was under 0.1 volts for 4 seconds when the ignition was on.
23 Inlet air temperature sensor signal showed an air temperature of -40° F for 4 seconds.
24 Vehicle speed sensor signal showed less than 3 MPH for 40 seconds when vehicle was in 4th gear.
25 Inlet air temperature sensor signal showed an air temperature of over 275° F for 16 seconds when vehicle speed was greater than 35 MPH.
26 Quad-Driver sense voltage shows a low voltage when battery voltage should be present, or if the sense voltage shows battery voltage when a low voltage should be present for at least 5 seconds when the engine was running.
31 PRNDL indicates a gear other than park or neutral for 13 seconds for 3 consecutive startups when ignition was on, engine was off and vehicle speed was 0. Or the PRNDL status indicators (A, B, C, P) showed an incorrect combination of Lo and Hi for more than 10 seconds.
34 There was no MAF signal for over 4 seconds while engine was running.
38 The Torque Converter Clutch portion of the brake switch was open and caused the TCC to be inoperative.
39 The torque converter clutch portion of the brake switch was inoperative for 30 seconds causing vehicle speed ratio to be outside of its window of operation.
41 Cam sensor signal was not received by PCM for the last 2 seconds while engine was running.
42 The EST signal did not change when the ECM applied bypass voltage to the ignition module.
43 Knock sensor signal was either above 3.5 volts or below 1.5 volts for at least 20 seconds.
44 Oxygen sensor voltage was under 0.25 volts for up to 4 1/2 minutes of closed loop operation.
45 Oxygen sensor voltage was over 0.750 volts for 2 minutes in closed loop operation with a throttle angle between 0.6 and 1.9 volts.
51 MEM-CAL error.
63 EGR flow was incorrect. EGR solenoid did not work properly.
64 EGR flow was incorrect. EGR solenoid did not work properly.
65 EGR flow was incorrect. EGR solenoid did not work properly.
