Hi all, Two days ago the check engine light came on. When I drive for 5 min the light comes on.
 I have a 3sgte out of a Caldina (ST215) and the use the stock JDM ECU, so I can't get codes from it. I don't see anything leaking and the car runs great. I have put about 800 miles on the car since i did the swap. What should I check first? |

There's no Diag box on the ST215 harnesses, that's why I was asking if we did the harness, we normally add in a diagnostic wire when we do them. Hopefully the OP comes back

Doc, you did an excellent job on my harness. Remember, it went right in with no issues. The light only cut on a few days ago.
The car runs great. I don't see any performance issues at all. QUOTE (Dr_Tweak @ Apr 30, 2009 - 8:40 AM)  There's no Diag box on the ST215 harnesses, that's why I was asking if we did the harness, we normally add in a diagnostic wire when we do them. Hopefully the OP comes back -Doc |

Hopefully the OP comes back -Doc Ah you should have just called me then There should be a wire located near your ECU with a label on it that says "Diagnostics". Ground that wire to run the trouble codes. If you do NOT have that wire, give me a call or email and I'll walk you through what you need to do. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
