Code 34 on 93 LT5 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Jetjock · 4 Days Ago

Earlie, I had a code 33, 45 and 65. I changed out the MAP sensor, disconnected the battery, ran the engine and checked the codes again. This time, I got a code 34 and the other codes disappeared. I plan to run the car this afternoon and then checked it again. Code 34 seems to indicate that a circuit is either not grounded or shorted. Anyone have this issue?

Hey Roy,

How's your little MAP vacuum hose : https://www.jerrysgaskets.com/hose-m...ew-90-95-13d4/ ?

Are you able to use an ALDL logger and follow the FSM diagnostic chart step by step for DTC 34 ?

I don't have a Tech 1 or anything like that. The vacuum hose looked good when I replaced the MAP sensor. Code 34 looks to be about a short or not being grounded. After running the engine, I will check the codes again. I'm using a paperclip to get the codes because the other way I did it was with some cartridges and they disappeared when I sold my 92 Z.

I've never tested what I assume to be the cheaper alternative :

Moates ALDL cable : https://shop.moates.net/products/cab...aldl-connector
Moates Converter : https://shop.moates.net/products/ald...aldl-converter
TunerProRT : https://www.tunerpro.net/downloadApp.htm
ADS file for your 93 ZR-1.
A laptop.

You could get everything for 120$ but I've never tested this setup. Maybe other members can confirm that it works...

That would allow you to read the realtime MAP voltage value provided by the ECM itself when the car is running or just with ignition ON.

An open on the MAP signal wire and/or reference voltage will also trigger DTC 34, not only a short on the signal wire.

So be sure to check the MAP connector and ECM connector (RED one). A good test consist in wiggling the harness / connector around when the car is running and check for code 34 or engine reaction.

A soldering issue on the ECM could also prevent the MAP signal from reaching the ECM components from time to time. Same goes for the 5V voltage reference voltage but other systems use this reference as well (EGR, TPS...) so you would get other codes as well.

And about the MAP hose, don't assume it's good. Remove it, put a vacuum pump on one end, and block it with your finger on the other end and test how it holds.

I use DAT Cat (you can get the ALDL cable and the software from them) to data log my 1993 ZR-1, another option for ECM data logging and live data stream viewing. There's lots of information available through this type of system, same with the ones mentioned by RSLyrick. Depends how adept you are at looking at the Data and whether it will be helpful or confusing. Good luck.
