Acksfaq 96 Tracker FSM

[ack]

The entire 6E3 Section of the Tracker FSM is now online at Ack's FAQ.

As requested, Section 8 - Electrical Diagnosis - is next.  It's a BIG section so be patient!  I'll try to have it online by April 26!

[ack]

Ooops!

April 26 and no section 8... Time is not on my side - no it isn't... 

I DID fix the problems with downloading 6E-A.  It is now broken into 4 parts and should be readable.

Thanks to everyone who pointed out the problem to me!  I appreciate it!

Sorry, I am not sure where to post this, but can any one tell me how to get the codes for my Engine Light with out using a scanner?? I know that there is a way, I tried one, but got nothing....any suggestions would be great!

[ack]

Yeah, you should have made a separate, new post in this section - not in this thread.  Oh well....

Anyhow, I don't know if you can get the codes out of a '96 or newer (OBDII) 'puter without a reader.  HOWEVER - you can take your truck to most any auto parts store and get it "read" with their reader for free.  I know Autozone has this service.

For OBDI trucks, you can get the blinky- lights decoded, but I can't remember.  Try a search for OBDI here at the ZU.

Section 8A of the '96 Tracker FSM is now online at Ack's FAQ.

This section deals with electrical systems diagnosis and contains localized wiring diagrams for each subsystem. The section should be generally helpful for other years of Trackers and Sidekicks.

 Unfortunately for us old-school electrical types, a master wiring diagram is not available in the FSM.

To find the '96 Tracker FSM Project, go to Ack's FAQ (the link is in my signature, below) and do a search for tracker fsm.

hi ack !

just curious.
i found that many IE browser , can not see the files to view (pdf). 
the xxxxx.pdf.html page is devoid of any links.
and i tried many computers running ie 7 too.

then  i tried one with fash get and it works (clucky ) but ok.
what is the min, requirements to see the pdf files.

Xp , IE7 neat dont work.


thanks.

[ack]

jtgh:

Not know...

I am using IE 6 and it seems to work.

Do you have a copy of a recent version of Adobe reader installed?

There is a possibility that there is an incompatibility in the pdf files that I created.  I will be happy to recheck any troublesome file that you, dear readers, can provide the file name for.

So, if you have a name for a troublesome file, PM me the filename or a desription of the section and I will check it out.

i will slick load a  XP partition and find out which config. , it dont like.

IE 6 and adobe 6,7,8,9  (one of these dont work.)
ill find it.

i have one machine the has flashget and it can see your links .

i nailed it.
any machine with Fixitread installed for Firefox , this kills , IE , adobe anything.

ouch.  we all use foxit.  its so fast and addiction.   
i will now learn on to marry adobe to IE and keep foxit reader on fire fox.

sorry , op error.

I just thought I'd stop by and mention that records for individual sections of the Tracker FSM are now being created in the search database.

This means that you will soon be able to search the Tracker FSM directly at Ack's FAQ!

There are a LOT of sections in the Tracker FSM project so I expect the link count to jump from around 565 to way over 600 when I am done in a few weeks.

Section 8? (wiring)

[ack]

It is there - since May 8 2009 - at the bottom of the main index page:

http://www.acksfaq.com/trackerfsm.htm

Sections 8A-1 through 8A-203.

They have not been individually added to the database but Section 8A can be easily found through the above link using search strings like Tracker, Sidekick, FSM, tracker fsm and sidekick fsm.

Eventually all the sections will be individually searchable by their content - not their section name.  Since most folks don't have access to this FSM and would not know which section applies to what, it seems pointless to go through the effort of adding section names to the search string field when most users will never search that way.

Remember, I am - so far - doing all this for the love of my hobby and the kind folks who helped me early on.  You want fast?  You want better?  Put your money where your mouth is and use the donation button at Ack's FAQ!

THANKS ACK!!!  This is an invaluable resource!

BTW - I did chip in.

Thank you very much for your donation!

Now, back to replacing my Samurai's Transmission...
