Codes on a '94
Hey guys -
Wondering if anyone can help me interpret this...
I've been getting a service engine light pretty consistently for the past week. Weird thing is it doesn't come on until after the car warms up - usually around 15-20 mins. Once it comes on, it stays on. If the car is shut off and restarted (after warming up), it comes right back on within a minute or two.
I read some old posts to figure out how to pull my codes. Last night I did it and this is what I got. (I have a 16 pin connector - connected 4 & 12).
No flashing on the service light but the speedo displayed the following.
(nums in parens were displayed where range/mpg info usually is/other nums were larger and displayed where the speed usually is). Sequence was:
(1.) C12 -> (1.) --- -> (4.) H27 -> (4.) --- -> (9.) --- -> (A.) --- -> (1.0)
:crazy:
2 things:
1. Can anyone tell me what the code is? 27? ...or is this just garbage.
2. Do the service manuals have info about this stuff in them? (I just ordered a set from Ecklers but it's gonna take a few days).
Thanks.
Jim

Re: Codes on a '94 (TealBlueEyes)
Well, this thread is pretty much dead. :)
But, I finally got my service manuals yesterday - geez, I didn't realize how useful those things were.
I'll go ahead and answer my own questions for anyone who is interested.
- 27 was the code.
- H means history (code that was stored earlier but is not present right this
second).
-The service manuals have all of this information in them and there appears to
be a lot of info that you can get from the system without a scanner.
