Answering my own question and asking another -
The 45-1 (47) puzzles me - what does the 1 and (47) tell us exactly? Re-reading the DTC section on page 11-21, I see that 45-1 is a code given on the HDS pocket tester, whereas the (47) is the same fault code given in flashes of the "-" using the special connector (paperclip) in the appropriate wires on the red plug when the key is turned on while the + button is depressed (page 11-23): 47 being 4 long flashes and 7 short flashes.
Page 11-22 says: • When there isn't a DTC, the shift indicator goes off and starts blinking as follows. and shows the pattern:
Am I correct in assuming that the this should happen with the paperclip in place?
BUT - below that it says:
Shift indicator Check
When the ignition switch is turned ON and engine stop switch to " O " , the shift indicator will stay on for a few seconds
then go off.
The above 2 points seem to be contradictory.
Then below that is says:
If the TCM does not detect any current (problem) but has a problem stored in its memory, the shift indicator will not light and
blink. If it is necessary to retrieve the past problem, readout the freeze DTC by following the DTC readout procedure
(page 11-23).
Is that done while NOT using the paperclip?
I have a friend who also has a Dino. With the paperclip in place as described and following the procedure for DTC retrieval, both bikes do NOT show the "-"
Does this mean that there are no stored fault codes? I thought the "-" would flash as shown in the middle of 11-22.
The service manual was obviously written by the folks who designed the system and knew what they were doing but us mere mortals can't read what's not written there to clarify my confusion.
Anyone?
