Ok today I was driving and my CEL came on, when I got home I check for codes and this is what I got. With KOEO I got code 14 this is what the books say :
"The Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) has detected and intermittent loss of Profile Ignition Pick-up (PIP) signal during recent operation." Ok what does all that mean ? Thanks, Joe.... |

1) Code 14 displayed.
This code indicates that 2 successive erratic Pro File Ignition Pick-up (PIP) pulses were sent to ECA. Causing possible engine miss or stall. Check EEC and TFI iginition system for possible loose wires or connections, arcing secondary ignition components (coil, cap, and wires) or an on-board two-way radio. If any of the above conditions present, repair as nessicary and repeat Quick Test. If none are present goto next step: 2) Distributor Check: Turn key off and wqait 10 seconds. Deactivate Self-Test. Using Continuious Monitor (wiggle) Test, observe VOM or your scan tool for and indication of fault while lightly tapping on the TFI modual and distributor, and while wiggling TFI connector. If fault is indicated, disconnet and check termanls are ok, diagnose TFI modual system. if no fault, goto next step. 3)Checking EEC-IV Harness. While the Continuious Monitor (wigglr) Test, observe VOM or your scan tool for an indication of fault while wiggling, shaking, bending small sections of the TFI harnesss to the firewall. Also check harness from firewall to EEC. Isolate PIP circut, if possible. If fault is indicated, isolate and repair problem and repeat quick test. If no fault goto next step. 4)Checking EEC-IV and harness connectors. Turn key off and wait ten seconds, Disconnect 60 PIN connector at the EEC-IV (ECA, EBX, ECU, Processor). Inspect connector for damaged pins, corrosion, or loose wires, If connectors and PINs are ok, fault cannot be duplicated at this time, Diagnose TFI ignition system. If connectors are damaged repair as nessicary and repeat Quick Test. In layman's terms I would bet my money on the TFI modual, but that was to answer your code 14 question.

I may be off base here, but somehow this rings a distant bell - I seem to recall that the earlier model explorers had the ignition pick up module assembled with some plastic part of some inferior manner of assembly, and the little round shutter would get out of whack is what I am recalling. Don't take this to the bank, cuz my memory is hazy, but for what it might be worth.

That inferior plastic piece is usally orangish/yellow and cracks from heat and causes havoc!
But the TFI moduals are junk too. |

help with codes
SVO,
You wouldn't happen to know what the following codes are? KOEO 17, 31, 79 Running: 36, 53 [book says TPS but I just replaced it?], 85 thanks! Wil __________________ '92 EB modified *Roadkill* |

Re: help with codes

Wil, recheck your KOEO codes I show no code 17 to be found. 16 would be IAC valve,/ISC actuator, or ECM, engine RPM too low for heated O2 test, IDM circuit no signal during KOEO. 18 would be wiring, ICM, or ECM, SPOUT circuit open/grounded 31wiring short circuit to ground, EGR valve/position sensor, ECM, EGR sensor below min voltage. 79 *DING* your A/C was on durning test! KOER codes: There is no code 36 recheck your test. 35 Wiring short circuit to positive, EGR valve/position sensor, ECM, EGR sensor above max voltage. 53 TPS sensor loose wiring short circuit to positive, TPS, ECM, TPS above maximum voltage. 85 Wiring, EVAP canister purge valve, ECM. Malfunction during KOEO test. Sounds like you might have a wiring issue in your truck, you need to check very closley the wiring harness for chaffing ir cut wires shorting out, plus lets not for get all the above mentioned sensors, once you have checked everything then and only then can you condemn the ECM. Give me some back ground on your vehicle. Last edited by SVO; 05-15-2003 at 07:35 AM. |

[EEC Tests] NOTE: When you see "is/was" listed for a code: For a HARD fault code the sensor IS out of range right now. For a MEMORY code, it WAS out of range at one time (possible intermittent wire etc.). Some codes pertain to more than one system but there will be only one of the systems on the vehicle. For example code 58. A vehicle with a VAT sensor will not have an Idle Tracking Switch.

Testing EEC-IV Equipped Engines
The EEC-IV equipped engines use an older diagnostic system to monitor and report engine related malfunctions. This system is known as On Board Diagnostics (OBD-I). The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) are two or three digit numbers and can be read through the use of a scan tool, an analog voltmeter, or with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) [Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light]. Use one of the following methods to obtain the DTC's and then refer to the 2-digit or 3-digit charts. Scan Tool Method (1) Connect the scan tool to the self-test connectors. Make certain the test button is unlatched or up. (2) Start the engine and run it until normal operating temperature is reached. (3) Turn the engine OFF and wait 10 seconds. (4) Activate the test button on the STAR tester. (5) Turn the ignition switch ON but don't start the engine. (6) The codes will be transmitted. Six to nine seconds after the last code, a single separator pulse will be transmitted. Six to nine seconds after this pulse, the codes from the Continuous Memory will be transmitted. (7) Record all service codes displayed. Do not depress the throttle during the test. (8) After the test, compare the DTC's retrieved from those in the 2-digit or 3-digit charts. Analog Voltmeter Method Set the voltmeter to read DC 0-15 volts. Connect the positive lead of the meter to the battery positive terminal and connect the negative lead to the Self-Test Output (STO) pin of the diagnostic connector. Follow the directions given previously in the scan tool procedure. To activate the procedure, use a jumper wire to connect the signal return pin on the diagnostic connector to the self test input connector. The self test input line is the seperate wire and connector wih or near the diagnostic connector. The codes will be transmitted as groups of needle sweeps. This method may be used to read either 2 or 3 digit codes. The Continuous Memory codes are seperated by the other codes by 6-seconds, a single sweep, and then another 6-second delay. Compare the 2-digit or 3-digit Diagnostic Trouble Codes with the appropriate chart. Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Method The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the dash (Engine Light) can be used to retrieve the stored codes. This method does not allow for any system investigation. This should only be used in the field where quick checks are needed. Follow the directions previously given for the scan tool procedure. To activate the tests, use a jumper wire to connect the signal return pin on the diagnostic connector to the Self-Test Input (STO) connector. The self test input line is the separate wire and connector with or near the diagnostic connector. Codes are transmitted with a pause between flashes. Code 32 would be sent as 3-flashes, a pause and then 2-flashes. A slightly longer pause separates the codes. The only way to repeat the code is to recycle the system. The Continuous Memory Codes are separated from the other codes by 6-seconds, a flash and then another 6-second delay. Compare the 2-digit and 3-digit Diagnostic Codes with the appropriate chart. MEMORY CODES Memory codes are problems that the computer has noticed in the past. If for example there was a loose wire to a solenoid that only lost contact while driving but was making contact while testing the system there would be NO HARD FAULT CODE. The code would show up IN MEMORY. The same would happen for a sensor that only went out of range occasionally. Memory codes come out AFTER the separator pulse. NOTE: The computer will erase the memory after a certain number of engine re-starts if the problem does not repeat itself. The number of re-starts varies from 20 to 80 depending on the year of the vehicle. The later models keep memory longer. KEY ON ENGINE RUNNING (KOER) TEST 1. Make sure engine is fully warmed. If in doubt, run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes. 2. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds for system to shut off. Make sure A/C is off and transmission is in Park (automatic) or Neutral (manual). 3. Hook up light and jumper (or tester if you have one). 4. Make sure vehicle is safe to run and start engine. 5. Engine I.D. should be output. 6. Step on brake and turn steering wheel 1/4 turn. If the vehicle has an overdrive cancel switch, push it. 7. If a "Goose" pulse is received, move throttle quickly 1/2 way down and release. 8. Fast Codes are output (ignore). 9. Read codes. 10. See code explanations and check components as necessary. Use FIRST CODE OUTPUT and retest after any repairs are made. KEY ON ENGINE OFF (KOEO) TEST NOTE: On 4.9L trucks with a manual transmission hold the clutch pedal in during this test. On Diesel engine trucks hold the throttle to the floor during this test. 1. Make sure engine is fully warmed. If in doubt, run engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes. 2. Turn ignition off and wait 10 seconds for system to shut off. Make sure A/C is off and transmission is in Park (automatic) or Neutral (manual). 3. Hook up light and jumper (or a tester if you have one). Turn key to ON (do not start engine). 4. Fast Codes are output (ignore fast light flashes). NOTE: Unhook self test input jumper (or tester if used) at any time during code output to erase memory. 5. Read hard faults. 6. Separator Pulse. 7. Read memory codes. 8. See code explanations and check components as necessary. Use FIRST CODE OUTPUT and retest after any repairs are made. |

Wil, recheck your codes. I'm not sure when in the '91-'92 model years, but somewhere in there they went to putting out 3 digit codes. In any case, my '92 outputs 3 digit codes.

Thanks for your info!
I appreciate your responses!
Mr. Shorty, I was using the Haynes as a ref. and all the codes they had listed were all two digit. It was tricky to determine which were 2 sec pauses and 4 sec separator pauses. The codes do repeat, and I would end up just writing the individual digits, then work backwards with the numbers. Hence: 5-3-8-5-3-6. So this could be 536 and 538... And 1-7-3-1-7-9 could be 173 and 179... I will be putting a fuel pump in Saturday, then I hope this fixes everything, But I will recheck codes for 2 and 3 digit. I found this site with codes for Broncos, are they good? http://www.off-road.com/ford/bigbron...ec/eec-iv.html Thanks again! Wil __________________ '92 EB modified *Roadkill* |

Baised on a 1992 Explorer with 8th digit VIN code "X" (4.0) my book tells me it a 2 digit code read out, but that's why I asked for some back ground info on his vehicle.

Here's the background:
SVO,
The VIN is:1FMDU34X0NUA97324 1992 4.0 143,000 MILES [burns no oil, but plugs had a little black carbon this time, possibly from fuel pump/pressure variation] Just changed TP, plugs, new fuel filter, cleaned MAS, replaced air filter, cleaned throtlebody, Don't know how to clean IAF but the spring plunger actuated fine. Plug wires are fairly new, put dielectric on plug contact points. Runs,performs fine, just the idle wants to lope at times. Sometimes CEL comes on, but 5 min after start, and only on freeway [again, fuel pressure related?] Trans replaced @ 115,000 [I'm sure not significant] Not knocks or taps or leaks No water leaks, fluid clear and constant level. Oil filler cap clean, no sludge. ALSO, rough idle was coincidental with the fuel pump whining louder than normal, which points me to the pump for most of the probs. Otherwise, this truck has been running real nice. Hope this helps! Appreciate your help. Wil __________________ '92 EB modified *Roadkill* Last edited by roadkill; 05-15-2003 at 11:57 AM. |
