88 3 DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE OPERATION
NOTE: The EOT indicator will chan g e from red to
green when engine temperature reaches 70 °C (158
°F)orhigher.
• If the EOT indicator is red, erroneous
comparisons are likely from cylinder to cylinder.
However, when diagnosing a cold misfire, a
technician can listen to tone changes from
cylinder-to-cylinder.
• When the EOT indicator is green and the engine
temperature is 70 °C (158 °F) or higher, fuel rate
and timing are more stable, making comparisons
from cylinder to cylinder more accurate. Overall
engine operation is more stable.
4. Select cylinder number and select Run. (Injector
selected will be disabled and engine noise should
change.)
5. Select Normal Operation. Injector will be enabled
and engine noise should return to previous state
of operation.

comparisons are likely from cylinder to cylin der.
• When the EOT indicator is green and the engine
temperature is 70 °C (158 °F) or higher, fuel rate
and timing are more stable, making comparisons
from cylinder to cylinder more accurate. Overall
engine operation is more stable.
Shut off one injector at a time and listen for changes
in exhaust tone.
NOTE: Do KOER Standard test before doing the I6
Injector Disable test - Run.
