Re: Auto Check Problems in a 91 200TQ

Russ;

    Clean up the connections again and apply a contact enhancer (Stabilant
22 or equivalent) to the contacts. Should fix the problem.
    The Autocheck computer is located on the board in the white plastic
housing attached to the back of the instrument panel.
