The GF has a 1990 UA Corsair and tonight we ducked to the supermarket and the ECM light come on the dash. We cycled the key and it hasn't come back but i still wanna find out how to extract codes so i can see if it has a history code stored

cheers in advance

anyone?

maybe google "pulsar ecu codes" or something..
might have better luck with that.

pulsar? whats that got to do with Corsair?

Corsairs are rebadged Pulsars.

no. they're not

sorry, Nissan Pintara.

Ford Corsair (1989–1992, Australia, rebadged Nissan Pintara)

Pintara yes. Pulsar no. lol. i knew that. same CA20 engine that the RWD Pintara's ran.

Corsair - 2.0L

Activating diagnostic mode

- switch ignition OFF
- wait at least 15 seconds
- insert bridge tool into STI
- switch ignition ON
- read codes from flashing ECM lamp

Self Test Input (STI) is a 2 pin connector (Red wire + Blue wire) located under the center console usually accessed from the RH side, some have been found closer to the LH side or even caught up high under the dash.

cool as. so i'm guessing the bridging tool is just a bit of wire lol.

now i need the flash code card so i know what the flashes mean

its a tiny metal tool. thick wire should be fine. i had to dig the book out of my spare room to find that info so post up what codes you get and ill tell you what they are.

cheers dude. will have a look on the weekend

The number of half second flashes before the one second pause indicates the TEN DIGITS.
The number of half second flashes following the one second pause indicates the UNIT DIGITS.
All codes are repeated after a three second pause.

If a fault code is recorded only that code be displayed.
If multiple faults are recorded each code will be displayed once in a set sequence and then repeated continuously.

same drill as extracting codes on my EB1

what type of tool do you use to read the codes on your EB1 mate?
