Code (25) ??

[WhtEclipse705]

I have searched and searched.. and i cant find what exaclty this code means. I have a 95 RS and i did the key on off thing, and it showed the 1, then 2, then the code was 2, and 5. then it showed the 5 and 5. so i know my code is 25. but what in the heck is this one, and what are some common resolutions for it. I have consulted my Chilton (which didnt explain the 1, 2, and 55 blinks, so i thought i had 3 codes, but did find one post about how to read your code. but i still dont know what exactly this code is. Thank you for any and all information.

12 is "Power to PCM was disconnected within last 50 key on cycles". 25 is "Idle air control motor circuits" which is usually the PCM or shorted IAC motor. 55 is "End of codes". Hope that helps.

well thats strange.. i just changed my IAC not more then 2 weeks ago, and i didnt have a light for the first 3 days or so, then it came on out of nowhere.. so i guess i am lost now, could the motor i put in possibly be bad? thanks for the information by the way..

check it?

resistance test my friend

Did you reset the code after replacing IAC? Disconnect + battery cable for 1 minute to reset it (record your radio stations first as they will get cleared).

Oh, definatly... and then the CEL came back. The reset period on the IAC was nuts.. driving around at 4G and trying to back up and shift... it was not so good on the clutch.. but it did break in, ran good for about a day and a half, then started kinda running crappya again.. now its misfiring, and the CEL is on.. so i guess next step is to check IAC for defalts, and go from there.. unless you have any other ideas.

Wouldn't hurt to check inside the PCM (ECU) for leaking capacitors or rotten egg smell.
