OBD Codes
So my car started running really rough and the check engine light came on. i jumped A and B on the obd plug and this is what i got (I is for blinks of the light)
I II, I II, I II, III, III, III
i assume I II is for code tewlve but am confused on the III. ive searched and cant really find a good explination. I have found the GM code definitions, just unsure on my codes. thanks for the help

Re: OBD Codes
you might want to do it again but looks like maybe a code 33 MAF high signal any other codes will follow if not the code 33 will repeat.

Re: OBD Codes
Code 33 "MAF signal high" is generally caused by an open ground circuit. Use a DVOM to look for voltage on the ground circuits(pins A and B) at the MAF sensor connector, with the sensor connected and key on. You'll need to back probe the connector using a small paper clip. Any voltage on the ground wire means a poor circuit to ground. You'll need to trace B back to the ECM and A back to the rear of the passenger side cylinder head. A test light connected to Batt+ works in place of a DVOM for this test.
Do you have a good service manual, like the HELM's factory shop manual? It will have the trouble tree for all of the codes with the correct tests.
