Paper clip trick not working…
Trying to pull codes with the paper clip trick. I’m not getting anything when A &B are jumped with the ignition in.
if I remember, it’s been a while, but I remember the fan coming on when I jump A&B. That’s not happening either. What should I do next?
thanks

Re: Paper clip trick not working…
For some reason it worked today. It threw a code 21. High voltage from the TPS. I tested it and it was 4.75 volts with the throttle closed. Didn't change at all while moving the throttle. So I'm assuming the TPS is toast and would explain why its running like ****.
However, My fan is not working and according to the FSM it should be running when I jump A&B. ( And I remember the fan running in the past when I checked for codes) Where do I start when figuring out why my fan isn't working?
