@Jerry Coronado Get a code tester from Amazon or EBAY that plugs into the connector. It'll operate the light. It's small and causes the light to flash.

Fantastic Information

You can get codes on those cars by turning the key to "on" 3 times. On the 3rd time it starts blinking the codes. I dont know if you can get any more codes with a paper clip or not. But Ive been using the key method for 23 yrs on my 1995 Jeep.

Hey Brian! Huge fan of the channel! Quick question. I'm in the process of rejuvenating my 1980 Cutlass Supreme Brougham. Almost got the engine bay complete, this isn't my daily driver so I'm removing some emissions for appearances, she'll more likely just be a show and meet car. I noticed that the charcoal canister had a vacuum line leading up to a switch and two wires. Is that just a warning light to notify when the canister needs service? Or will it affect ignition? Is there any warning switches or sensors I should remove or bypass to eliminate a potential engine light? Also, after watching this video I went to look for my OBD and I didn't have one. There's an ashtray in its place haha. Likely due to it being Canadian model I assume? Thanks!

If your 80 was one built with an ECM then removing all of the emissions etc will trigger an engine light. You need to remove the computer with harness and pull the ECM fuse.

That means your cars ECM(or PCM as some also call it) is seeing no problems that it recognizes. By flashing you the #12 only, it is communicating to you that it(the ECM) is functioning as intended, but the absence of additional 'codes' other than '12' doesn't always mean that a problem(s) is not present- it just isn't causing an issue that the ECM can 'see' or detect yet(or ever in some cases. If the car is running ok, enjoy it- if not, other forms of diagnostics can be preformed by a mechanic/technician(although you should make sure the one you choose has experience in this area) doing tests the 'Old fashioned' way LOL.

I have 83 el camino. I am getting a code 34 (MAP sensor). Vehicle seems to be running ok. It seems to run a little lean. Any tips to fix it.

@hankbridges5055

The MAP sensor can be bad. Replace it. Clogged injectors can cause lean mixtures. Run fuel injector cleaner in the tank to clean injectors. Check fuel pressure. A leaking EGR can cause lean mixtures. A partially stopped up fuel filter can cause lean mixtures. A leaking carb. base gasket or intake gasket can cause lean mixtures. Mity-vac can check for leaking hoses. A leaking modulator valve hose can cause lean mixtures. Get a Actron CP9690 code tester to check codes. It works on OBDI and OBDII Ford, G.M., Chrysler, and Toyota. It has code-connect to diagnose codes. EBAY has it. It comes in a black pouch. It uses 4 AAA batteries (not included) under the rear cover. It is well-lit. 2000 up is auto-test. Below, you dial in the year etc. It checks live, record, graphing, emissions readiness test, ABS, SRS, oxygen sensor test, transmission code test, and MORE!

No, it's the same as check engine light. On G.M. cars, it's common for the light to be on. Helm Inc. has a repair manual with diagrams and troubleshooting trees to trace wiring faults causing the light to come on. A Actron CP9690 code tester works on 1984-2013. It has cables for OBDI for Ford, G.M., Chrysler, and Toyota. It has code-connect to diagnose codes. It's well-lit. EBAY has it. It comes in a black pouch. It uses 4 AAA batteries under the rear cover. Snap-on scanner checks codes. It has a primary cartridge and a Troubleshooter cartridge. Get the emissions cartridge. Get the OBD I G.M. cable and the cable for the cigarette lighter or battery adaptor if needed. EBAY has them. Some come in a case. There's a G.M. code tester which is cheaper from Amazon or EBAY. It is small and plugs into the connector. It's for OBDI. Warm the engine to eliminate false codes. Run the engine @ 2000 RPM'S for 2 minutes to clear the engine. Run fuel injector cleaner first to eliminate false codes and clean injectors. Do a tune-up and change the oil. Replace the coolent temperature sensor to eliminate false codes. If you get improper vacuum to the EGR, replace the charcoal canister purge valve. If you get rich oxygen sensor codes, replace the MAP sensor, on Ford's and maybe others. Check vacuum parts with a Mityvac. It can check for leaking hoses by stopping up one end of the hose and pumping vacuum at the other. If you hook it up to the EGR and pump up about 6" vacuum, it should hold if it's negative backpressure. Positive EGR'S should NOT hold vacuum. With the engine running at idle, pump it up. The engine should stumble indicating the EGR is flowing and the passage is clear. If not, the EGR is clogged or the passage is stopped up. That can cause EGR codes. Check for vacuum to the EGR. At 1500 RPM'S there should be vacuum. Below a certain point, it should stop. A Mityvac can check the transmission modulator valve and hose.

All the other codes got cleared but is still coming back to the tps

That means a problem is present and doesn't go away. Check the codes. There's a G.M. code tester that is small and plugs into the connector. Amazon and EBAY has it. The light flashes on the dash.

What if my check engine light doesn’t stay on? It goes away while driving

@@RocketmanV8 The computer captures the code so whether its on or off it will still flash out an error code.

If the OBD two port doesn’t work, why would you even show that? thanks for the video though
