To check fault codes on the early L series
1.Ignition off.
2.On your diagnostic plug bridge terminals 4 and 15 with a piece of wire.
3.Switch ignition on.DONT START ENGINE.
4.Count the number of flashes that appear on your instrument panel.
5.Long flashes are the tens of the code.
6.Short flashes are the units of the code.
7.A short pause separates each flash.
8.A long pause separates each code.(You will notice this when it happens)
9.When finished switch off ignition and remove your bridge wire.
The diagnostics socket is located under the dash near the steering wheel on the drivers side.
These are the codes which correspond with the flashes.
12.start of diagnosis.
