hi there i got some error codes today after borrowing Choppadoo's error check thing (the one in the groupbuy on here a while ago)

i was wanting to know what some of these meant and how to fix them.

NOTE: i have done the resistor trick for the manual conversion, so whats up with the trans errors (is it cos their not there?)

neway i got some codes for you

***the car off test***
-211 (pip out of range... what the hell is this?)
-691 *trans solinoids*
-692 " "
-694 " "
-695 " "
-696 " "
-697 " "
-211 (pip again? )

*** car on test ***
-172 engine always lean (was this?)
-411 low idle fail
-538
-172
-411
-538 (open throttle fully) whats this???

thanks guys

Grab yourself an EF Gregory's manual, covers all of this and recommends some testing you can do.
They're not too expensive (Supercrap Auto had 20% off in store on Saturday for example).
To explain all of this would take about a page or two in typing.

As far as the solenoids go, the "standard" resistor trick only covers the trans temp and idle.
The S1-S7 solenoids are open circuit, so the ECU thinks they're not working. No big deal, limp home mode is an auto transmission thing, won't affect the engine running.
For testing purposes you can setup a resistor array to simulate them (7 x 120 ohm)but this is only to eliminate the codes coming up.

The only main thing a tricked auto misses out on, is lean cruise mode, as the ECU never "sees" the transmission in gear, only neutral.

I've got one didn't realize it had an error code section, actually I've always found the silly thing well silly.

ill have a read, anyone got some help mainy after the PIP, Lean, and open throttle ones.

Marc the solenoid codes are coming up as i presume you are still running the auto ecu so the car thinks the auto is still fitted

***the car off test***
-211 the rate of pip signal change is out of range(not too sure on that one)
-691 *trans solinoids*
-692 " "
-694 " "
-695 " "
-696 " "
-697 " "


*** car on test ***
-172 engine always lean (was this?) oygen sensor may be faulty
-411 low idle fail. idle speed controller set to low
-538 throttle wasnt wide open during the test

211-Clean the crank angle sensor and the toothed wheel, also the electrical plug.

538-When you do the engine running test, IIRC, you have to give it a quick wide open throttle - this wasn't done properly - it's not an actual fault.

ok after a read,
PIP is crank angle sensor reading erratic?
lean is the o2 sensor
full throttle would be cos i only did 1/2 throttle

odd, o2 sensor is newish, so is the crank angle sensor, but both could also be ecu, ill have to check that.
