Fast Codes

At start of KOEO SELF-TEST and after Wide Open Throttle (WOT) request in KOER SELF-TEST, PCM outputs short bursts of information, known as FAST CODES, which were used by manufacturer during assembly. These codes contain the identical information as slow codes, but are transmitted at 100 times the normal rate. With most equipment (except Super Star II tester), these code bursts are not visible. An entire code sequence lasts less than 1/2 second.
