Some 1986-1990 Eldorados, Sevilles and 1987-1990 Allantes may experience intermittent setting of data line codes E047, B333, B334, B335, B336 and/or B337. These may all be set at one time or in any combination. Single codes should be diagnosed using the appropriate trouble tree in the Service Information Manual. In addition to the codes, some of the following may also occur:

^ IPC and/or the CCDIC flashes on and off or bright/dim
^ Fuel gage flashes "E"
^ Trip odometer resets to 0
^ ECC switches to full heat at high blower speed out the front defrost ducts
^ Erroneous displays appear on the CCDIC
^ ECC panel will not respond to pressing of buttons
^ CCDIC may display SYSTEM PROBLEM

These conditions may be caused by either a damaged data line circuit or one of the components connected to the data line. When operating normally, the serial data line voltage should continually fluctuate from 0 to 5 volts.
