DIAGNOSTICS

There is a self-diagnosing system built into the Atomic EFI. Each

covered parameter can show a status in one of three ways (Fig).

• “OK”: the parameter is functioning normally.

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

• “Error H”: A previous error that has been reset since it did not

reoccur within the last ten ignition cycles.

WHAT IT MEANS

There is no reading for the Throttle Posi-

tion Sensor.

There is no reading for the Manifold Ab-

solute Pressure Sensor.

There is no reading for the Inlet Air Tem-

perature Sensor. The ECU will default

to 275°F when shorted or -40°F when

open.

There is no reading for the Engine Cool-

ant Temperature Sensor. he ECU will

default to 275°F when shorted or -40°F

when open.

The Atomic is receiving the wrong volt-

age. 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 sensor

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 Fuel Pressure Sensor).

ECU compares the MAP reading with

the Baro reading on key up. If these are

different by more than 5kPa, the code

is activated.
The Baro sensor voltage is out of range,

and the ECU has defaulted to the last

known good Baro value.

PROBABLE CORRECTION(S)

The sensor may be at fault. Check wiring and/or replace sensor.

The sensor maybe at fault. Check wiring and/or replace sensor.

Faulty sensor; loose or no connection. Check wiring and/or re-

place sensor.

Faulty sensor; loose or no connection. Check wiring and/or re-

place sensor.

Check the battery connection from the Power Module to the

battery. Ensure that the battery and alternator are working cor-

rectly.

If you are running a returnless fuel system your engine's needs

may exceed the Atomic's maximum capabilities. If you are run-

ning a return system check to see that you are maintaining the

recommended fuel pressure. If you have adequate fuel pres-

sure the engine's needs may exceed injector flow rate.

Faulty sensor; loose or no connection. Check wiring and/or re-

place sensor.

A. Check to see that the sensor is securely plugged into the

system. Inspect wiring if it is plugged into the system.

B. The sensor will need to be replaced.

Note that 'warming up' is normal during start-up for the first 20

seconds.

Check the fuel system and determine that it meets the

requirements to run a returnless (PWM) system. 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 the

code continues, the fuel system may need to be converted to an

in-tank fuel pump and/or regulated (return) fuel system.

Double check your MAP selection and make sure that you

selected the correct P/N of sensor. It could also mean a problem

with the Baro or MAP sensor itself (see above codes).

Turn the ignition off. Wait 10 seconds, and turn the ignition

back on. If the code remains, call customer service. Unless the

vehicle has been through a large change in altitude since the

last ignition on/off cycle (towed somewhere), everything will

function normally.
