Default ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser

See Fault Codes and post any questions regarding any Fault Codes in the Fault Codes Thread.

The ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser can be plugged into the present ALDL Socket under the Drivers Side Panel. The ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser will ground the appropriate connectors of the ALDL when depressing and holding any of five Buttons depressed and turning the ignition ON....(not all the way to START). The Fault Codes are flashed on the Panel just above the Bose Radio and the CCM Fault Codes flashed on the Speedometer Cluster. This ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser Module has a 12 Pin ALDL Connector which is compatible with 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993 ZR-1s.

This 12 Pin ALDL Fault Code Reader/Eraser works for 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993 ZR-1s and maybe other C4s as well.

1. How It Works.
The Manual for the ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser has the latest updates including Fault Code Clearing using the ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser.

To use the ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser connect the ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser to your ALDL while sitting in the Drivers Seat (in front of your right knee) with Ignition OFF. Push/Hold Green, Yellow, Black, White or Red Button and then turn Ignition ON (Do NOT start the engine). The Codes will Flash on the Panel just above the Bose Radio (ECM, SCR, ABS, SIR) and within the Speedometer cluster for the CCM.

Post #56 and Post #57 which is the Post Just Following ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser shows all the Codes for SRC, ABS, CCM, SIR and ECM.

2. Description.


Pins F, -, -, J, L, and M are removed from the ALDL Molded Connector attached to the ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser as they are NOT used in this Application. A Photo of the Five ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser Buttons is shown just below the Modified ALDL Molded Connector.



Green is ECM the one you are mostly interested in for Engine Issues.
Yellow SRC or Ride Control....FX3 shocks are Yellow.
Black is ABS....Wheels are Black.
CCM is White Elephant.....as the codes are read on the Speedo Cluster....
Red is SIR or INFL REST .......the HOT Button.....or the Button to check the Issues related to Safety.

The Fault Code Flasher will read:
1. ECM (SERVICE ENGINE SOON on Panel) Green Button
2. SRC (SERVICE RIDE CONTROL on Panel) Yellow Button
3. ABS (SERVICE ABS on Panel) Black Button
4. CCM (CCM Fault Codes on Speedometer Cluster) White Button
5. SIR (INFL REST on Panel) Red Button

The ALDL Fault Code Reader/Eraser has 5 colored mini switches (Push Buttons) mounted on a Billet Aluminum small block connected to an ALDL Connector (24 inch lead) that plugs into the ALDL under Drivers Side panel.

3. How To Read ALDL Fault Codes.
To Read the Fault Codes while sitting in the Drivers Seat......just plug the ALDL Fault Code Flasher/Eraser into ALDL and push/Hold Green Button for ECM (Yellow Button for SRC, Black Button for ABS, White Button for CCM, Red Button for SIR then turn the ignition switch ON (Do NOT start the engine) and see the Fault Codes flash on the Panel above the Bose Radio. An Example is the SERVIDE ENGINE SOON light which is always on when you are checking ALDL Fault Codes.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON


4. How To Erase ALDL Fault Codes.
To Erase Fault Codes....Depress/Hold the appropriate Diagnostic Button and turn the Ignition Key ON....(not all the way to START). Wait for the Diagnostic light to start flashing for the Button Depressed. Release the Button for 3 seconds and then Depress/Hold the Button for about 3 seconds and Release. Turn the Ignition Key OFF.

To check that Fault Codes are Erased Depress/Hold the appropriate Diagnostic Button and turn the Ignition Key to On (do NOT Start the engine). The Code 12 should appear continuously indicating ALL Fault Codes are cleared.
