link to paper clip test

cars a post

ok will have to dig out a paperclip lol il have a bash sometime

is it pre or post, if its the 16 prong type port its easy as fuck imo mate..

basically bridge 5 and 6 with a 'paperclip' or bit of wire... then turn your ignition on full (not engine though) and your EML will flash on and off a code.
e.g *** space ** space ****space *space THEN AGAIN 3 times over - that being 3,2,4,1 (if thats even a fault code :lol:, im just using it as an example)

you then find that code on one of them sites (google 'vauxhall chorsa hew' fault codes if you must :lol: )

also if it flashes 10 times im 99% sure that means number 10 iirc


if that makes any sense...
its in tutorials somewhere mate :thumbs:

What do you actually do?
My corsas eml is on (been on for 4month) but it drives perfect. Now and agen the revs drop to around 500-1000 rpm but not all the time that's the only fault really. I'm selling the car soon so just curious as to why it's on and never had to do the Paperclip test.

I'm not removing the bulb before any1 says lol
