I just looked at the e bay link. He is selling them for $530 , as in Five Hundred Thirty Dollars with 1,643 sold. $ 53 would be pushing the limits for what amounts to a pill bottle, a LED , switch , wire and 3 banana tips. This is about $ 5 in parts to be generous.

The tester is basically a switch that puts a module into test mode and a light so you can count the blinks. There are diagrams and code info on the net so no need to pay $ 530 .

I can't remember exactly the which codes are correct - I think they are the same as the later set described in the FSM (post 1989 - something like that)


I don't think I have actually ever gotten an error code from this part of the system before - the code reader is needed to set the system to "diagnostic mode" so you can adjust the duty cycle for example.


Sorry to be so vague - it has been a long time since I last did this (car has been running quite well recently!)

I assume that pricing is a mistake


I didn't pay anything like that amount all those years ago


It is indeed just a switch in a tub
