General information

  • Engine control module (ECM) incorporates self-diagnosis function.
  • Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will illuminate if certain faults are recorded.
  • ECM operates in backup mode if sensors fail, to enable vehicle to be driven to workshop.
  • Trouble codes can be displayed by using a Scan Tool connected to the data link connector (DLC) by the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with the service check connector jumped [1].

NOTE: The use of a Scan Tool is essential to obtain full diagnostic information.

Accessing

  • Ensure ignition switched OFF.
  • Jump service check connector terminals [1] [2].
  • Switch ignition ON.
  • Check MIL is flashing.
  • Trouble codes 1-9 are indicated as follows:
o Individual short flashes display trouble code [2] [A].
o A short pause separates each flash [2] [B].
o A long pause separates each trouble code [2] [C].
o For example: Trouble code 3 displayed [2].
  • Trouble codes greater than 9 are indicated as follows:
o Long flashes indicate the ‘tens’ of the trouble code [3] [A].
o Short flashes indicate the ‘units’ of the trouble code [3] [C].
o A short pause separates each flash [3] [B].
o A long pause separates each trouble code [3] [D].
o For example: Trouble code 12 displayed [3].
  • Count MIL flashes and compare with trouble code table.
  • Switch ignition OFF.
  • Remove jump lead.

Erasing

  • After the faults have been rectified, trouble codes can be erased by using a Scan Tool connected to the data link connector (DLC) or as follows:
  • Switch ignition OFF.
  • Remove radio fuse (7.5A) from underhood fusebox for 10 seconds minimum [4].
  • Reinstall fuse.
  • Repeat checking procedure to ensure no data remains in ECM fault memory
