Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

OBTAINING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
1. Connect the voltmeter or scan tool to the connector for diagnosis.
2. Read the output diagnostic trouble codes. Then follow the remedy procedures according to "TROUBLE CODE DESCRIPTIONS". Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions

NOTES:
- As many a maximum of ten diagnostic trouble codes (in the sequence of occurrence) can be stored in the Random Access Memory (RAM) incorporated within the control module.
- The same diagnostic trouble code can be stored as many as three times.
- If the number of stored diagnostic trouble codes or diagnostic trouble patterns exceeds ten, already stored diagnostic trouble codes will be erased, in sequence beginning with the oldest.
- Do not disconnect the battery until all diagnostic trouble codes or diagnostic trouble patterns have been read out, because all stored diagnostic trouble codes or diagnostic trouble patterns will be canceled when the battery is disconnected.

3. If the fail-safe system is activated and the transaxle is locked in third gear, the diagnostic trouble code in the Fail-Safe Code Description will be stored in the RAM.
Three of these diagnostic trouble codes can be stored.
4. The cancelation will occur if, with the transaxle locked in third gear, the ignition key is turned to the OFF position, but the diagnostic trouble code is stored in the RAM.
