engine sensor out of voltage range

pull up with ign still on/engine running

remove ecu cover

locate the 5 pin multiplug with the rubber cap a few inches down the loom

remove cap

hold the plug so it has 2 pins (holes) either side and 1 in middle at top

bridge the bottom left and bottom right pins with a bit of wire and watch the management light

it flashes in a specific sequence for each error code
