Re: Next Chapter!!!
Hi Graham You are muddying the already cloudy waters Thats my departement!. I am possibly being naive here, but surely the various scan tools are going to pull the same code & simply apply the appropriate text that the tool manufacturer has written into the software. I am no expert (obviously ) but when a scan-tool interrogates a PCM & it requests fault codes & then the PCM sends a packet of data that contains the numerical information. The scan tool looks the code up in its database & adds the wording. So if a scan-tool retrieves a code P2338, then this is the code that the PCM has sent & I would expect it to be the same on all scanners & should be beyond misinterpretation. (who am I kidding ) So P2338 is going to be P2338 whatever tool you are using & as said already, this states that cylinder 3 (not injector 3) knock threshold limit has been exceeded. This I believe is very straight forward & has only been confused by folks who have gone off on a tangent by coding a injector & when it dawns on them that the injector they just coded wasnt the same as the cylinder identified as the knocking one, they are assuming that the fault code has mislead them. Take Phil Dunmore’s post (April 24, 2007, 11:18 pm) as an example, The original garage made a diagnosis of cylinder 4. It appears that they couldn’t clear the code because they didn’t know how, & jumped in & swapped the injector anyway. They still couldn’t clear the code & farmed the job out. The Phil comes along & enters the correction codes, as per AutoDiagnos instructions (see below)
So Phil then concludes that the original garage has replaced the wrong injector because he has just recoded injector number 2. If you look at the AutoDiagnos method again, you can see that injector 2 does fit into cylinder 4 & he has just recoded the injector that the original garage has changed.
What the original garage should have done was to recode all the injectors, using the correct method of course (whatever that is ). This would have cleared the light & code & probably made it run ok. I will add here that no one should feel ashamed at not understanding this stuff. I have put in a great deal of time this past two weeks, speaking to many specialists & doing some hands on work i.e. injector swapping (thank god the threads didn’t strip hey ). The differences in opinion were quiet staggering.
Cheers for now Dave Hill
