Reuse – Rebuild – Innovate

About me
I came up with the idea for the site to summarize some of my projects especially some modifications and things I learned - the hard/expensive way sometimes ;) Anything you see here - please use at your discretion. I take no responsibility whatsoever for anything you see on this site or use from this site - i.e if you blow up your motor, set your car on fire, flying squirrel falls off a roof and starts keying your door, etc. Otherwise - please enjoy the website!

KA24DE: ECU Open loop

*** Note: On 240sx, OBD 1 is easily identifiable since it will have 2 oxygen sensors instead of 3 as OBD 2 system uses. ***

Here is some things that will not cause open loop on your KA24DE OBD1 ECU (years ’90-early ’95):

-IAT sensor (diagnostic item only)

-Rear heated o2 sensor (near cat)

-EGR -> BPT also doesn’t cause open loop

-Disconnection of airbags does not cause open loop (use your brain here to decide what you think is good for you or not – don’t clutter with debates please)
