Problem was resolved by first making sure the compressor was still working, then removing the air springs and checking for leaks. The latter test confirmed both were leaking. The compressor (has 4 pins) was tested by disconnecting the vehicle harness and directly powering the compressor using a...

2 fault codes were obtained: 51 = continuous electric current to height control computer, 76 = speed sensor circuit. Thanks to all who helped. Now the work begins in finding out exactly whether code 51 means the compressor is dead and buried.

Thanks a lot for the information.

I have one of the OBD2 to bluetooth adapters. I also have an app for my android phone. But the app only reads codes from the engine computer. the system codes are all listed as CXXXX/YY. the YY number is and has always been the blink pattern code for Toyota way back to 1995 when they had OBD1...

Does anyone know how to do this? I do not have access to a code scanner. I heard there may be a blinking light method. I would like to know which light on the cluster to look out for, and how to get the system to start the blink sequence.

and the added electrical power load might be too much for the alternator, if you have made a lot of modifications to add power hungry devices.

There is a way to use one, but it will involve electrical work. Wiring, a small "ECM" to control it, and careful modification of a truck unit to not destroy the fan shroud. Horton makes a few of these things, and probably the one used in the Dodge Ram pickup with the 5.9L inline 6 diesel would...

these type of clutched fans are on the large diesel trucks from International, Mack, etc, have been used for years. Nothing new, except in when they are controlled to enhance engine cooling. It is one way to reduce engine torque losses by disengaging when cooling isn't necessary, and also aid in...

i am taking the vacuum measurement from the EVAP purge vacuum supply. it is reading correct when I am idling and i checked that the throttle plate is opening when i stomp the pedal. i even took off the breather hose from the air cleaner to the throttle to check that my throttle cable was...

I am reading 17 in of Hg at idle, and when i step on the accelerator to raise the engine speed to 2500 rpm the vacuum reading remains unchanged. i expected it to drop. something isn't right. I have no pull when driving, engine output sucks. but it idles fine. need some help diagnosing this...

you can also use a new connector. Molex, Tyco, Deutsch, take your pick. will mean cutting off the connector from the motor and the harness side, soldering and crimping and matching the connector with its mating counterpart. downside is that anytime the motor needs to be replaced in future, this...
