OBDI Trouble Codes

OBDI Diagnostic Trouble Codes on 6.5L Trucks

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

1994-1995 Trucks use 8192 Baud Data (OBDI). 

Blinkenlight Routine/Blinking Light Routine

You can simply count flashes of the CEL/SES light on the dashboard after grounding Pin B with a jumper to a chassis ground or to Pin A and turning on the ignition key.  Each code is repeated 3 times (by the Service Engine Soon Light) in a morse code style fashion that we call the “blinkenlight routine”


For example:

<blink><blink> ...pause...<blink><blink><blink> = DTC 23

Here’s a great third party video on this from YouTube:
