Smallport 4age: how to make a temporary engine check light
Hey guys trying to diagnose another conversion I'm doing with a smallport into an AE71.#
What can I use to make a CEL and how do I connect it to the loom?
Its a stock AE92 loom, as far as I'm aware the "W" pin should be put on the earth side of the light with 12v on the other? When you bridge out the diagnostic terminal it should flash?#
#I just want to confirm this before I cook something#
Yep that is right... TE1 and E get bridged....
What sort of globe should I use?
Same 12v globe from the check engine light on the cluster (ae86 or the likes).. or just use a test light
dose
Can someone please put this into lamans terms as ash isn't actually doing any
of this. Its my car and unfortunately I have not even half the electrical know
how that ash does. So therefore need to be shown a bit more to understand it
Cheers

Wire from battery to globe, other side of globe connect to w pin on ecu. Then in the engine bay find the diagnostic box, put a paper clip in the 2 sockets
Okies,
Bridge TE (or T, I assume) and E1. You will need to use a diagram such as this one below to work out where to "bridge" the terminals. All you need to do is earth out TE, I actually setup a switch to take the hassle out of it.
Awesome thanks heaps guys
That diag is for a big port which didn't have the diagnostic box in the engine bay....
Shit, I linked the bigport one by mistake, there is a smallport one there anyway. Cheers for the spot, I've been a bit off lately...
