(1) For testing information, see J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS article.
(2) Blink code is 4-digit malfunction indicator (CHECK ENGINE) light code.
(3) Check intake and exhaust systems for leaks. Check for too low or too high a fuel pressure. Also check for malfunctioning fuel injectors or engine misfire.
(4) Check intake and exhaust systems for leaks. Check for mass airflow sensor hot wire not burning off cleanly. Check for faulty oxygen sensor control and for EVAP frequency solenoid sticking open. Also check for malfunctioning fuel injectors or engine misfire.
