I am trying to read the trouble codes on a 91 Hyundai Excel which, incidently was induced to pass "aircare" vehicle testing a month ago and has subsequently generated clouds of grey smoke. Compression is
175-185 (within spec)On the subject, the procedure below, which is from Haynes and also a discussion group, was followed with a scope in scroll mode to record the pulses. Unfortunately, the scope display does not allow the whole train of pulses to be displayed in fine enough detail, but it seems that a string of 1 second wide pulse is generated as long as the ignition is in start position.
how wide should the pulses (wide and narrow) be? Terminals 8,9,A, 7, and E are present although I am using the stipulated 8 (GND) and 7(SIG). Is a different configuratrion possible?
Thanks for any light.
(1) Locate the diagnostic connecter which sohuld be under the driver's side kick panel. (2) Connect an anlog voltmeter to the diagnostic connector ground terminal and MPI diagnostic terminal. See diagram below. (3) Turn the ignition on (4) Count the voltmeter needle sweeps and write them down for reference. Long sweeps indicate the first digit in two-digit codes. The short sweeps indicate the second digit. For example two long sweeps followed by one short sweep indicates a code 21. (5) To clear the codes, disconnect the negative battery cable for 15 seconds.
