The following chart gives the most likely solution(s) to each possible error.

CLEARING HISTORY ERRORS

There are two ways to clear an error. First, the code will erase after 10 key cycles. Second, is to simply

navigate to the message screen and push the joystick down to clear the codes.

WHAT IT MEANS

There is no reading for the Throttle

Position Sensor.

There is no reading for the Manifold

Air Pressure Sensor.

There is no reading for the Inlet Air

Temperature Sensor. The ECU will

default to 275° when open.

There is no reading for the Engine

Coolant Temperature Sensor. The

ECU will default to 275° when open.

The Atomic is receiving the wrong

voltage. The unit is measuring

either less than 9 volts or greater

than 16 volts.

Excessive Injector Duty Cycle

There is no reading for the Fuel

Pressure Sensor.

A. "NOT CONNECTED" indicates

that no sensor is detected.

B. "ERROR" indicates that the sen-

sor has failed.

This code will set if there is an issue

with Fuel Pump Cavitation (similar

to vapor lock). It can only set when

running a returnless fuel system. This

may occur when the commanded

fuel pressure (from the ECU) is

different than the fuel pressure (at

the sending unit).

CLEAR FLOOD

If a flood condition occurs, turn the key on then press the accelerator to wide-open throttle. This tells

the ECU to turn off the injectors. Crank the engine to clear the flood condition until the engine starts

(release the throttle open start-up).

Note: The TPS is self calibrating so the key must be in the On position prior to pressing the accelerator.

PROBABLE CORRECTION(S)

The sensor may be at fault. Note that the TPS is integral

of the throttle body.

The sensor maybe at fault. Note that the MAP sensor is

integral of the throttle body.

The sensor may be at fault. Note that the IAT sensor is

integral of the throttle body.

Check to see that the sensor is properly installed and

plugged in. If the sensor is connected but there is no

signal, it will need to be replaced.

Check that the Atomic has power and ground directly

from the battery. Also be sure the vehicle's battery and

charging system are in proper working order.

If you are running a returnless fuel system your en-

gine's needs may exceed the Atomic's maximum capa-

bilities. If you are running a return system check to see

that you are maintaining the recommended fuel pres-

sure. If you have adequate fuel pressure the engine

needs may exceed the Atomic's system capabilities.

The sensor will need to be replaced.

A. Check to see that the sensor is securely plugged

into the system.

B. The sensor will need to be replaced.

This means you need to review your fuel pump system

and confirm that your application meets the requirements

to run a returnless (PWM) system. Also check the filters,

the sock in the tank and inspect the lines for any kinks

or pinches that would affect the fuel flow and pressure

of the system. If everything checks okay and the code

continues, you may need to move to an in-tank pump,

or use a regulated (return) fuel system.

DIAGNOSTICS

There is a self-diagnosing system built into the Atomic EFI. Each covered parameter can show a status

in one of three ways.

“OK”: the parameter is functioning normally.

“Error C”: there is currently an error occurring.

“Error H”: there was previously an error that has been remediated within the last ten ignition cycles.
