    Default CEL Code 3 (G Signal) OBDI

    Decided to see if my car was throwing any codes while I had a jumper for the timing adjustment.

    I was getting three flashes. According to M.net, it's a G Signal. What is it and how do I fix it?
    ...and across the line.

    IIRC, it's a CAS issue.

    Will it work on a 95? I'm wondering if the code if from playing with the timing.

    Clear the code and see if it comes back.

    Scared no. I just don't want to spend another 30 minutes reprogramming all my settings. Car runs fine. How long until the code resets itself?

    It should. Bo's '94 has a CAS from a 1.6 car.

    The '92 never resets itself. Not sure on the '95.

    If you only had a '96, I could bring my scan gauge over and clear it for you.
