Default Service engine light code patern... I need the error code??

Hi guys,

I just did an error code test on my 88 Vette, with the Pin connect A and B with the paper clip, but I need to know the error codes for these two flashing paterns.

Unfortunaly I do not have the service manual to find out.

First code is, (Flash, Flash, Flash, Pause, Flash, Flash, Flash)
Secound code is, (Flash, Pause, Flash, Flash)

Thanks guys! :cheers:

Code 33: Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP)-signal voltage out of range, high or Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor-signal voltage out of range, probably high.

Code 12: No Engine RPM reference pulses-System Normal

Just want to make certain... did you get that error code 33 from an 88 Service manual? I read that there are differences depending on the year.

Thanks

VSOCKS, I bought a code reader for 30 bucks at Checkers and it has a code booklet. Also, its in the Chilton repair book. And of all else fails, you can surely find it using the search button on CF. :flag

Code 24: Vehicle Speed Sensor Cicuit
Code 45: Oxygen Sensorleft side on 2 sensor system rich exhausted indicated

The trouble code 33 remained the same for models 1985 through 1989. I've heard that includes the 1990 model year as well, but I thought 1990 was the year MAP was introduced.

Yes, when they went to Speed/Density, the code 33/34 referred to the MAP instead of the MAF.
