Some PGM-Fi problems will also make the S indicator light come on. After the PGM-Fi system has been tested, disconnect the the BACK UP (RADIO) fuse (7.5A) in the engine compartment fuse/relay box for more than 10 seconds to reset the TCM memory.

Note:

  • PGM-Fi system
    The PGM-Fi system on this model is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
  • The S warning light may come on, indicating a system problem, when infact there is a poor or intermittent electrical connection. First, check the electrical connections, clean or repair if necessary.
