I pulled codes from my ECU tonight and it came up with (12), (13), and (33). I have a 92SE. if anyone could tell me what these are i would appriciate it. Thanks much

 

Were do you guys get these tools to read codes? Dealer? Price?

 

i too are interested.. all i know is that you need a screw driver and the ecu

 

Haynes manual has all the info to do the diagnostic.


and Jared I have the codes for my VG, not sure if they are the same but I'll post them tommorow afernoon when I find my manual if you still need 'em.

 

i have the hynes manuell but its in the car.. the car is in the shop..

 

Hmmmm......now that I look at my ECU codes, I'm thinking its different for the VE, when I get my codes I don't get numbers like that I count the light flashes on the ECU...I'm confused???

 

VE is different
VG has 2 lights, one red one green, each one represents a different digit with it's # of flashes

VE has one light and does a couple long flashes and then some short flashes for 10s and 1s

 

12=Air Flow Meter Circuit
13=Engine Temperature Sensor Circuit
33=Exhaust Gas sensor circuit

Invest in a Haynes and Chilton's manual, there worth the money. And I hope this helps

 

Keep also in mind that if you're fixing the car and removing things, etc., and run it or switch it to "on", you can generate trouble codes too. If you're unsure just blow the codes away and drive it for a bit so it makes fresh trouble codes.

 

what do you mean by "circuit"? is that the power going to the sensor or what?

 

I'm not sure if I have the VE or VG, but I do know that I have the SOCH GXE. When I tried to follow the procedure in the Haynes, it didn't go the way described. I got both green and red flashing together, and they were all about the same in duration. Plus I got codes that were not in the manual. On top of that, it says to wait for 3 flashes and then turn back counterclockwise and then read the codes. When I did that, I got no flashes at all. Can someone please post the procedure?

 

where is the engine temp sensor circuit?

 

yeah, they do both flash in unison; I forgot the VG procedure, sorry

 

$12.00 for a Chiltions or haynes manual at any auto parts store...

 

I agree, because Step 2 is to diagnose those sensors/controllers or check them.

If the computer spits out a error code it's telling you, "Hey, I'm getting no reading or a funny reading from this thingamabob - help!"

 

Ok you guys are saying read the number of blinks, but doesnt nissan have a hand held thing that you just hook up and it says all???
