Codes after washing car

Recommended Posts

Appears that after I wash the 96 Eldo I will get codes. Clear them a few times and they finally stop showing up.

Here are some of what I have seen show up the very next day after I wash the car.

P0420 Once during driving immediately as a History Code - Cleared it and it never came back

PC1406 Twice during driving immediately as a History Code- need to see if it stays cleared.

Once had a transmision code"not shifting soon enough", again History Code hasn't come back

I'm guessing I might be getting something wet when I wash the inner wheel wells and armor-all them.

Any tips on where to look?

Thanks

Ken

The PCM is just beyond the left front inner fender liner. The main distribution block, a Masifuse block, and a relay center are right behind it under a cover. Make sure that it is clean and the fender liner is sealed. Apparently you are getting some water or Armor-All on the connectors.

Thanks Jim,

I will check this weekend. Drove home today ...no codes.

To clean up the terminals and to check the PCM connections, do I disconnect the battery, both terminals, before disconnecting things?

Is there a process for de-energizing the PCM or is this a non issue?
