General information

  • Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will illuminate or flash if certain faults are recorded .
  • ECM operates in backup mode if sensors fail, to enable vehicle to be driven to repair shop.

Accessing

• Trouble codes can only be displayed by using a Scan Tool connected to the data link connector (DLC) 1.

Erasing

• Trouble codes can only be erased by using a Scan Tool connected to the data link connector (DLC).
