Look in Reference and FAQ's for method of resetting TDCO with Ign switch and the accelerator pedal, do that, then observe it again with the scanner.

If it is still about there, rotate the IP 1mm to passenger-side, lock it down, do the switch procedure again, observe the result.

Cruise and other stuff won't function with any DTC.

 

I can't seem to find what your telling, I did find something that sais it would relearn in about 50 starts though

 

Timing Set OBD-II, bottom of page

 

I haven't looked for that yet, but I took it down the road to see if cruise would work and it does. Does it work because the code is a "D" code instead of say an "A" code? The code I'm getting doesn't turn on MIL and the MIL does work.

 

That "B" code should trigger the SES\MIL, as it is a basic IP timing malfunction - only thing that should clear it is scanner or resetting timing.

Might not indicate at idle, but should as rpm increases, as it indicates too much advance.

'A' indicates the MIL will illuminate on the first cold-start, 'B' indicates the MIL will illuminate after the second cold start, unless the condition has cleared.

The diagnostic is run after a timing procedure has been done, so you'll probably never see it on a driven-in vehicle - unless the owner didn't finish reading the Reference and FAQ's, here.................

 

I found out what a "D" code is. "D" code is a non-emission related fault which does not illuminate the MIL, which is why the cruise still works when DTC is present.
