Hi,

Who has done the Key On Engine Off self test on their Rangers?

In this Youtube clip by Abandoned Automotive:


During the test it buzzes the injectors one by one on his PX1 2.2.

I tried the test on my PX2 2.2 and very little happens that i can see( or hear) besides the glow plug light comes on and the lights flash as the module resets.
All done in about 20 seconds and passes 100% but does not do the buzz test.

I'd like this to work to potentially help me isolated my tapping injector.

No idea and never tried it.

Keep in mind PX2 uses piezo injectors which are different to PX1 injectors and unknown if this makes any difference.

I contacted Forscan team and they added it to a test build as a separate test.
Injectors get buzzed successfully.
It is just difficult to tell which injector is getting activated and they can't tell me the sequence.
