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.

Accessing

  • Trouble codes can be displayed by using a Scan Tool connected to the data link connector (DLC) [1] under the LH fascia.

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 ECM fuse (30A) from underhood fusebox for 30 seconds minimum [2]
  • Reinstall fuse.
  • Repeat checking procedure to ensure no data remains in ECM fault memory.
