Hi Folks. I have a 1992 SC400 GT. I now find that at idle, in park, the "engine electrical fault" comes up on the dash. If I increase the rev's to about 1100 RPM, it disappears. I let the car idle, it returns. I have read that after jumpering E1 and TE1 and key to ON, flash codes can be read by looking at the check engine light. My problem is that I have the hologram dash and I have yet to find an engine check light on it. What does happen though is there is a long string of beeps. They are just a continuous string with no apparent coding.
I would be prepared to invest in some sort of scan tool or cable to connect to a computer running scan software, but it looks like any link that I go down, searching for a scan tool seems to be erroneous and untrustworthy. I once lucked onto a site (I think that it was in the U.K.) that manufactured cables, but I lost it and have since been unable to relocate it.
I guess that I have 3 questions for the Brains Trust, 1. Is it possible to read error codes on the hologram display, if so, how? 2. Given that I have yet to win Tattslotto, can anyone recommend a scan tool or P.C. software? and 3. Has anyone heard of/know a company that manufactures a suitable cable? From memory, it was about $50.
BTW. I have used this site as a reference on a few occasions now and have found it to be really good, a big thanks to all contributors. Cheers, Colin
