Question Code 214?

The book tells me its a "cylinder identification (CID) circuit failure"....What the heck is that.?. Doesn't seem to be causing any performance problems, just the light. And its always on.

From an EEC-IV diagnostic article in Mitchell:
Code 214 indicates error has been detected in CID sensor
input signal. Error could be due to a hard fault or an intermittent
fault. Possible causes for this fault are:
* Open or shorted wiring harness.
* Faulty CMP sensor.
* Faulty ICM.
* Faulty PCM.
The circuit test then outlines a list of tests to check the wiring and other portions of the system.
You can download a copy of the diagnostic article from www.carsoft.ru (complete link has been posted in this forum in the past. Search for "gtest.pdf"). Libraries often carry manuals that have complete diagnostic articles that include the circuit pinpoint tests.
