DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE
FFI Diagnostics
Retest Option
Some Hard Codes have a Retest and/or associat
ed Static Test option. If these tests are available,
"Press S for Static Test" or "Press R to Retest" is
displayed at the bottom of the Code screen.
Service Codes that have a static test option are:
the FFI ™ fuel injector and the ignition system. The
static test allows you to instruct the EMM to mo
mentarily activate a component that is causing the
code so you can verify its operation.
In the Retest mode, the computer constantly
scans the EMM to see if the present Service Code
is still being set. You can use Retest to diagnose
and verify some repairs. For example; Service
Code #43 will be set if an open connection occurs
in the Coolant Temperature sensor circuit.
The Code screen for Service Code #43 has the
Retest feature. If you press "R", the Retest screen
will be displayed. If you wiggle the Coolant Tem
perature sensor connector and it momentarily im
proves contact, the computer will "beep" when the
connection is good. The computer will then display
a message that the code appears to be repaired.
If the connection breaks, the computer will beep
again and display the Retest screen. When you
exit the Retest feature, you will automatically re
turn to the Code screen. The Class field will reflect
the status of the Service Code; either Hard or Re
paired.
