AT OD flashing at idle - rasmeidirt - 12-14-2015 Hi, the AT OD light is flashing and SES light is on at idle. When I start to drive around for a few minutes the OD light will goes away except the SES light. It would do this again when I stop, start and idle again. I go pull codes at auto garages here in the country, but all of them do not read even Suzuki cars. Maybe it is time to buy a live OBD2 scanner myself. Could you help me with this! What model will work with the Sport? Where can I buy it? I heard about disconnecting the computer coupler. On my left knee, there are two computers very close to each other. On my right knee, there is another computer a little upper level. Which one is the ECM for engine? Which one is PCM for tranny? Thank you for all input. __________________ '96 (07/95) Sidekick Sport 16V, 1.8L, 4 auto, 4x4, 4dr, A/C, ABS, 99K on odometer. RE: AT OD flashing at idle - rasmeidirt - 12-15-2015 Thanks for you reply. Cambodia. The car is left hand drive (US car). Where is the TCM? It is in front of driver's the right knee under the dash? I want to buy the scan tool, what model do you suggest to be able to read the Sport. __________________ '96 (07/95) Sidekick Sport 16V, 1.8L, 4 auto, 4x4, 4dr, A/C, ABS, 99K on odometer. RE: AT OD flashing at idle - fixkick - 12-15-2015 IT'S RIGHT HERE. but in 1997 its GONE. (the physical box called TCM) see this page, this is all I have on TCM checks. http://www.fixkick.com/tranny/slush/OD-flashes%20now%20what.html#FLASH RE: AT OD flashing at idle - rasmeidirt - 12-16-2015 Thanks you very much for the information. __________________ '96 (07/95) Sidekick Sport 16V, 1.8L, 4 auto, 4x4, 4dr, A/C, ABS, 99K on odometer. RE: AT OD flashing at idle - fixkick - 12-16-2015 I really need to know if the connector above is present on your car. if not its been hacked. old cars , take eyes looking carefully to see what is there and what is not there. and evidence of hacking. do you have the yellow arrow DLC connector... yes./no. The TCM is part #35 RE: AT OD flashing at idle - fixkick - 12-17-2015 I uploaded your USA TAGS. its made in JAPAN, and not CAMI it is for USA delivery. so the car is OBD2 car. (applicable to 1996 epa regs,means its OBD2 car) << this is how Suzuki states this, and no separate tag, like most cars have. did you look for the connector above your shins (knees) see the yellow arrow., in post #4? the OD flashes for 4speed transmission errors, TCM sees errors) the ECU on later. years, can report that the TCM sees. your car is a prime example of a build date , for the first 96s ever made ,in beginning of fiscal year 96, July1995. but was build to USA regs for year model 1996. GOT THIS? RE: AT OD flashing at idle - rasmeidirt - 12-18-2015 Thanks for getting that picture on email! Update step by step I have parked the car for 1 week with the tail dome fuse under the dash removed in the hope the TCM would reset itself! But when I start the car and idle it for 10 seconds, the same problem happends again- the OD is flashing. I drive it around for 5 minutes and the OD light goes away. But when I stop and idle it, the OD is flashing again!!! Anyway, the car is running fine. I get under the car to find any couplers there to make sure the connections are properly tight. But I cannot see any of them my hands could reach. May be I need to drop off the tanny. __________________ '96 (07/95) Sidekick Sport 16V, 1.8L, 4 auto, 4x4, 4dr, A/C, ABS, 99K on odometer. RE: AT OD flashing at idle - fixkick - 12-18-2015 there are vast ways to get TCM errors YOU MUST FIRST SCAN THE ECU, using the connector shown 2 times above. RE: AT OD flashing at idle - fixkick - 12-19-2015 I POST THIS ONLY BECAUSE YOU failed to get the car scanned. that is first, the below, might work, the JUMPER TRICK and flashing OD lamp , for TCM FLASH CODE ERRORS. see this drawing? find the blu/org wire yet?> see the 2 arrows crossed, that is just a jumper wire. jumping the blu-org to black, activates the TCM flash code error , reporting. i know now that your USA car, is notlocated in USA , but far far away . where there are no shops, that ever seen a USA car ever.. and would not have scan tools to scan it. like here. RE: AT OD flashing at idle - fixkick - 12-19-2015 Some sports (SV418 is the real name) can do flash codes. if you can find the blu/org wire, so might your's. The TCM is smart , it's so smart it can see errors that the driver can not feel.! think of early warnings.... I CAN DO THAT ON ALL CARS MADE. and is a GOOD thing. no matter what it is , it will get WORSE. it might be just a dirty VSS, ever clean one? |
