Re: Random Switch
I responded using my phone and am not seeing what I wrote on the web site.
The red wire is terminal 58 "malfunction Indicator Lamp" The yellow wire is grounded best as I can tell from my wire tracer. Even with the plug disconected from ECU there was no tone from the tracer.? The illuminated switch acts like a check engine light. And yes, it is always on as I do not have a "code killer". I am going to leave the switch as is.? Thank you all.? |

Re: engine shuts off on steep downhills
Unfortunately no codes. My 2001 legacy is european specs. NO OBD2 before 2001 there. So no scan gauge no torquepro. Was unlucky on that. B.R.

Re: engine shuts off on steep downhills
For your engineer you should have a ODB2 interface. If you have that you can connect it to a reader.? Many of us use the app torque and our phones with a $10 Bluetooth ODB2 reader Amazon or eBay. If you have that set up your torque or whichever app you're using will be able to tell you the speed the ECU is getting from the speed sensor Andy 505-304-5306 On Mon, Jul 3, 2023, 2:30 PM a.garibaldi <achilleas@...> wrote:

Re: engine shuts off on steep downhills
What does sensor do you have and have you verified it is working and if so, what does is it reporting compared to actual speed? Andy 505-304-5306 On Mon, Jul 3, 2023, 8:12 AM a.garibaldi <achilleas@...> wrote:

Re: Random Switch
Ok, spending a few minutes, The check engine light switch would make perfect sense. California smog requires an operable and illuminated check engine light with various transmission and vehicle speed codes as allowed by Executive Order. Turning off the light would be a convivence feature, Identify this diagram with red/white wire going to pin 8 of connector B74 and pin 58 of ECM. This wire will be grounded for operation of bulb. Why the wire color change? switch should only open 1 circuit(there is probably a splice back to the same red/white wire). Also included 97 terminal Id charts. Richard Stratford ?

The harness has been compromised so if wire color doesn't work than pinout connectors to verify continuity. ECM part number verification is a good call.? Richard Stratford ?

engine shuts off on steep downhills
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello Everyone When driving on steep downhills my 2001 ej25 shutts of after half
a mile of drive. So have to shift 2nd to start again the engine,?
and this goes on again and again. Look like the fuel circuit is running out of fuel. I have clean the iddle air valve a couple of months before,
thought i would solve the problem, but didn;t get any better with
that. Is there any group member having same problem?? Any solution
on that?? --
Best Regards Achilleas Garibaldi 19011 Avlona Attiki Greece ¦³:22950 29300

Re: Random Switch
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýYou said it is a ¡¯97 EJ22,? That is OBD2.? There should be an OBD2 connector,? not the green plugs.? Leads me to think someone wired it as OBD1 (not Small Car).
