I have codes 11, 26, 32, and 84. Can anyone tell me what these mean and how to fix them?


I looked up a basic idea of what they are, but would appreciate being told what the codes are in English [img]smileys/smiley8.gif[/img]

 

Code 26 for the OBD I class of diagnostics refers to eight(8) possible malfunctions, one of them is the EGR valve fault, code 32. If your EGR valve is vacuum operated then there's an electric solenoid controlling the vacuum that directly controls the EGR valve. Removing and cleaning the pintle valve/seat and especially the shaft from exhaustdeposits to allow free movement foropening and closing smoothly will prolong the useful life of this emission device. The same for the electrically operated EGR valve.


Code 11 refers to the transaxle but 84? There are many sites that only repeats the factory code in technical terms that are useless to the general DIY'er. Finding the right website with code definitions might work if you try the right key words otherwise keep searching until you find that place willing to write in plain English by people able to relate tecnical phraseology with real world descriptions. It takes an experienced person to translate many OBD I or II codes. You're not alone as the phrases were spelled out for vehicle mechanic/technicians, many themselves unable to not speak geekese.[img]smileys/smiley14.gif[/img]

 

Well, when I looked up code 84 in the book, and on several sites, it tells me that its a brake switch failure or something like that. Generally, it says the problem is that the TCC is not disengaging when the brake pedal is depressed. TCC I guess is something to do with cruise control?

 

TCC - torque converter clutch; lock-up fourth gear not releasing? I'm not a transmission specialist. Go to http://saturnfans.comand post over there for more expertise than you can shake a stick at!?[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

 

We have lots of info on our site.

click on tech info and the first couple links have to do with OBDI diagnostics.

 

Thanks for posting that link!!!!
Got out and pulled the code (23) that has been keeping my SES light on forever now. Found out the IAC sensor was unplugged. Plugged it in, SES light went out!


Your site is AWESOME. Tons of useful info.
