General information

  • 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 repair shop.
  • Trouble codes can be displayed by the MIL or by using a Scan Tool connected to the data link connector (DLC).

Accessing

  • Access data link connector (DLC).
  • Jump data link connector (DLC) terminals A and B [1].
  • Switch ignition ON. 00 NOT start engine.
  • Count MIL flashes. Note trouble codes. Compare with trouble code table.
  • Firstly trouble code 12 will be displayed 3 times.
  • Trouble codes consist of 2 groups, displayed as follows:
o First group indicates the ‘tens’ of the trouble code [2] [A].
o Second group indicates the ‘units’ of the trouble code [2] [C].
o A short pause separates each group [2] [B].
o A long pause separates each trouble code [2] [D].
o For example: Trouble code 12 displayed [2]. Start of diagnosis.
• Each additional trouble code will now be displayed 3 times, in ascending order.
NOTE: If no additional trouble codes are stored, code 12 will continue to be displayed.
• Trouble codes can also be displayed by using a Scan Tool connected to the data link connector (DLC) [1].

Erasing

NOTE: Disconnecting battery ground lead may cause driveability problems until the engine management system relearns basic values.
  • Ensure ignition switched OFF.
  • Disconnect battery ground cable for 30 seconds.
  • Reconnect battery ground cable.
  • Repeat checking procedure to ensure no trouble codes remain in ECM fault memory.
NOTE: Disconnecting battery ground lead may also erase memory from electronic units, such as radio.
  • Trouble codes can also be erased by using a Scan Tool connected to the data link connector (DLC).
