Section 6 (Engine Controls - Tests W/Codes - V6): Introduction: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 24 other vehicles, including the 1993 Pontiac Trans Sport, 1993 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1993 Oldsmobile Bravada, 1993 GMC Vandura, and 1993 GMC Value Van. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Most engine control problems result from mechanical failures, poor electrical connections or damaged vacuum hoses. Before condemning the computer system, perform checks and inspections covered in BASIC TESTING article in this section. Failure to do so may result in lost diagnostic time.
If no faults were found while performing BASIC TESTING, proceed with DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE. If no fault codes or only a non-running Code 12 is present and driveability problems exist, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article in this section for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.). If only intermittent codes are present, see INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.
