A: If your installation is OK and Check Engine Light in your car is blinking when EFI Scan connected then your car sure is still M-OBD So, EFI Scan will work well. If report of EFI Scan is "signal is not found..." then there are some cases causes as bellow:

1- You do not connect W-pin from EFI Scan cable to W-ECU connector (you could use through a remain cable inside package)

14. Q: I have tested your device on Australian Toyota Corolla 2001 7A-FE engine. The message was
"Fault 1: There is a fault in the intake air temp sensor signal

Diagnosis: open or short circuit in intake air temp sensor

Probable cause: Intake air temp sensor circuit, intake air sensor, ECU"

I did not switch the car on only ignition switch was ON. I did not unplug any sensors at all.

Does it mean I have to check air temp sensor?

How do I check the real fault number? Because I cannot see any except the message above

Do I need to reset the ECU prior to plugging in your device just to make sure it was not the previous fault?

Please help me, thanks.

I very happy because you found malfunction in your car
You remember that, all of information from EFI Scan tool is correct completely. It is include of fault measure, diagnosis and probable cause for you. This is fullest expand information, which you do not need to view fault code. Tool will read all of faults are storing is current in ECU of Engine. In fact, about 65% of malfunctions of engine are ECU managed.
As description then you need to discriminate between history faults and current faults.
- History faults are fault that created by any person (as unplug connector of sensor….) or repaired before but does not reset ECU. Therefore, it is still keep in the memory of ECU.
- Current faults are fault present that your car be having.
Therefore, you need to reset system ECU by put out fuse of ECU or Battery cable duration 30 second or more….connect again…….start engine in some minute…turn off engine…… turn on ignition key and read fault again by EFI Scan.

If is not found fault then there are history fault. You do not need to repairs.
Else, if measures display again as below then sure that you must check and replace part of your car.

The message still was:
”Fault 1 : There is a fault in the intake air temp sensor signal
Diagnosis: open or short circuit in intake air temp sensor
Suggest: Intake air temp sensor circuit, intake air sensor, ECU”

Please email me if you still further ask
