Control and measuring equipment
To test fuel injection systems and reduce exhaust toxicity, it is necessary to use digital universal instrumentation, as they have greater measurement accuracy and greater internal loop resistance.
Hand-held scanners are the most convenient and versatile devices for checking engine control systems on later model years.
OBD-I systems (models up to 1995 release)
The electronic control unit has a built-in self-diagnosis system (On Board Diagnosis (OBD) system), which serves to troubleshoot the system and turns on the engine warning light on the instrument panel in case of malfunctions. The fault code is stored in the memory of the electronic control unit and is available for reading.
Reading trouble codes for OBD-I systems
To read the fault codes recorded in the memory of the electronic control unit, connect the STI and GND terminals of the diagnostic connector.
Connect a voltmeter to the STO terminal and "mass" car. Turn on the ignition and count the number of gauge deflection or engine warning light flashes. For example, code 34 will be displayed as 3 long flashes of the light, a pause, 4 short flashes.
Clearing OBD-I Trouble Codes
To clear the DTCs, disconnect the negative battery cable and depress the brake pedal for more than 5 seconds.

OBD II systems (models from 1996 release)
Diagnostic connector for connecting the OBD-II system
The connector is located under the instrument panel on the driver's side.
Models since 1996 have a second-generation OBD-II self-diagnosis system. Access to the electronic control unit of this system can only be obtained using a special scanner, which must be connected to the 16-pin diagnostic connector located under the instrument panel. When a malfunction is detected, the electronic control unit turns on the warning light on the instrument panel and stores the malfunction code in memory.
Reading OBD-II System Trouble Codes
To read the trouble codes of the OBD-II system, use a special scanner that must be connected to the diagnostic connection connector. If there is no scanner, you need to contact specialists.
Clearing OBD-II Trouble Codes
To clear OBD-II system trouble codes, you must use a special scanner.
