i was chasing the list of what DTC number means what fault for a EB series 1. they old way of checking DTC's (earthing out connector near booster, bridge terminals with LED test light) not series 2 scan tool codes.

FORD FALCON EA - EBl 3.9L (P Engine) 1988 - 92 EEC IV Engine Management System
Includes Utility, Van, Fairmont, Fairlane NA & NC, LTD DA & DC6 (Models with Multi Point Injection)

Fault Codes

The Fault Codes are organised into Two Groups.
1. One Set of Fault Codes are displayed in the "Key On, Engine Off" (KOEO) Mode.
2. The Other Set of Fault Codes are displayed in the "Key On, Engine Running" (KOER) Mode.

If, the Vehicle has the Battery disconnected for a period of time, OR
If any of the Engine Management Components are replaced;
The Keep Alive Memory WILL be affected and will have Incorrect Settings.
The ECM will need its KAM reassigned in order to relearn its program.



Fault Code Identification

There are altogether Five Service Code Types.
1. Fast Codes
(These appear very fast and are of NO value unless you are using a Data Scanner.)
2. ECM Identification Code
3. Hard Codes
(Current Faults.)
4. Separator Codes
5. Memory Codes
(Faults stored in memory from the Previous 20 Engine Warm-up / Run Cycles).



Intermittent Fault Codes
For checking of Faults that may be of an Intermittent Nature.
Connect LED Test Lamp to the Diagnostic Connector
Do NOT connect the Self Test Jumper.

Proceed to;
Wiggle all Connectors.
Wiggle all associated Wiring Harnesses.
Operate all Moving Sensors.



If a Fault is detected by the ECM.
It will cause the LED to Glow or Flash.
The Fault Codes will be written to the ECM.
Extract Codes by the following steps.

The Fault Codes will appear in this Sequence:
KOEO Mode:
Fast Codes
Hard Codes
Separator Code (10)
Memory Codes

KOER Mode:
ECM ID Code
Fast Codes
Hard Codes.



The Fault Codes can be read by use of:

1. An Analogue Multimeter (Set to 0 to 20 Volts DC)
2. A Digital Multimeter with a Bar Graph on the display (Set to 0 to 20 Volts DC)
3. A Test Light.

The Fault Codes are read as Pulses or Strong Fluctuations of the Multimeter Needle.
Each Pulse is 0.5 Seconds long.
The Interval between Tens and Single Units is 2.0 Seconds.
The Interval between Fault Codes is 4.0 Seconds.

After the Hard Codes have been displayed;
There is an Interval of 6.0 Seconds.

Followed by a Separator Code.

After the Separator Code;
There is an Interval of 6.0 Seconds

The Memory Codes are then displayed.
(KOEO Mode only).
(Again, there is an Interval of 4.0 Seconds between Codes).

Code Repeat
The Hard Codes and Memory Codes will ONLY be repeated Once.

To activate the Self Test again;
Switch Ignition OFF for more than 15 Seconds.



Fault Code Erasure
Disconnect Jumper Wire (Self Test Input) between Diagnostic Connectors.
Turn Ignition OFF for 10 Seconds
Connect Jumper Wire (Self Test Input) between Diagnostic Connectors
While Fault Codes are Flashing;
Remove Jumper Wire.

Retest Codes for successful Erasure.
Code 11 (System Pass)
Should be seen on both Hard and Memory Codes.

Fault Code Extraction
Connect Test Equipment to Diagnostic Connectors.

Ignition to ON
Read KOEO Codes
Ignition to OFF
Start Engine
Read KOER Codes



If vehicle stalls or is hard to start, see Problems.

Geez that's a bit vague! any more details dude if that don't help

Last edited by fairlane6970 on Wed Jun 09, 2010 10:15 pm, edited 1 time in total.

vague, NOT,

you need to count the seconds between flashes, it tells you the time the flashes are,

Its in the details, But you do have to read carefully, maybe read it 2 or 3 times, its not that hard

THANK YOU! thats exactly what i wanted. so copying and pasting that!

If you need any more mate let me know, transmission or the sorts, I offered to do them up to have as a sticky but no mods replied

really? it'd help out the EA-EBs1 owners.

how do you check the transmission for codes?

btw I was being sarcastic there! I thought it was obviously a great bloody list !!

Here is some for the climate control and air con

awesome. your a top bloke!

how do you manually check for codes on a EB2-ED? like without a scan tool

3. As soon as any Code is Displayed:
Disconnect Jumper Wire to STI at the Diagnostic Connector.

Fault Code Extraction



There are some Significant Changes to the Procedures used on Previous Models.

Engine to Operating Temperature

NO Electrical Load

Use a Jumper Wire with Very Small Female Ends to connect;

The ENG STI Terminal to the ENG GND Terminal on the Diagnostic Connector.

Connect the Positive Lead of:

1. A Low Wattage Test Lamp, OR

2. An Analog Multimeter, OR

3. A Digital Multimeter with Bar Graph OR

4. An Oscilloscope

To the Battery Positive Terminal.

Connect The Negative Probe to the ENG STO Terminal on the Diagnostic Connector.

When the Ignition is turned ON.

The Test Instrument will start flashing out the Fault Codes in the following order:



Codes appear in Standard Ford Format:

2 Flashes

Pause

3 Flashes

Is Fault Code 23.

(TPS Out of Range)

KOEO Test (Key ON Engine OFF)

A. Fast Codes including Module Identification Code.
B. Hard Fault Codes
(Problems the ECU has determined currently exist)
C. Separator Code 10
(One Flash)
D. Memory Fault Codes
(Problems that have appeared in the last 50 start/stop cycles but may not be currently there)



KOER Test (Key ON Engine Running)

Disconnect Jumper Wire.

Run Engine for 2 Minutes at 1500 RPM to warm Oxygen Sensor.

Allow to Idle.

Reconnect Jumper Wire.

has been out of range.
Loose connection, short circuit to ground in wiring or temperature sensor.
Blocked or restricted transmission oil cooler, no external oil cooler
fitted to vehicle for towing.

Possible Cause:
Blown fuse or faulty relay.
Loose or dirty battery terminals.

High resistance at transmission and engine earth leads.
Wiring harness fallen onto exhaust manifold.
Faulty or disconnected wiring harness on transmission.
Disconnected ECM connector or bent ECM pins.
Low battery voltage.
High battery voltage (regulator or alternator fault).
Shorted S5 solenoid.
Loose wires on solenoids.
Faulty ECM.

99 Throttle Not Learnt
Possible Symptoms:
The transmission operates from default throttle calibrations.

At zero throttle settings the ECM may calculate the throttle to be open
further than it actually is, causing poor shifts and late shifts.
Torque converter lock up may be in 3rd or 4th gear when throttle is closed.
(Provided vehicle speed is high)

Possible Cause:
Incorrect idle speed.
ECM left without power supply for a long period of time.
New ECM has been installed in vehicle.

hi all....

just wondering if anyone can explain this error code in more detail??




i have just wired in climate control/ trip computer/ power windows into my eb "s"

i done the air con test but did not do it at running temp (i done it cold) and i also need to replace the gas as i had to empty all of mine to do all this work...

i will be taking the car for a drive tomorrow to get it at running temp and doing the test again....

at the moment i get ..e1...e2

i understand e2 just not e1....

any help please

great thred, would be heaps of help to most people that cant get a scan tool, or have anything before eb1
