    I'm helping a friend with a problem on a 93 Saturn. I got codes 26, 32, 53
    and 71. I reset the codes and 53 came right back. I need to know what code
    53 is. My scan tool says " INF FLAG - ESC MAX" I can't find it in any of my
    service literature.

  2. Here's what they all are:

    26: Any of the quad-driver module circuits had an open or short for 25
    seconds. (Often a problem with either the EGR vacuum or canister purge
    solenoids.)
    32: EGR system fault. Fuel mixture did not change when EGR solenoid was
    commanded ON and OFF. (Points toward possible EGR solenoid problem as well.)
    53: Knock sensor could not eliminate engine noise by retarding timing.
    (Possible that's EGR too, insufficient EGR flow will cause the engine to
    tend to knock more.)
    71: Engine coolant temperature was above 244° F. (Could be a bad CTS, or
    wiring short..)
