Connecting HHT/Impulse Counter - Reading/Erasing DTC Memory
NOTE: Observe all system specific instructions listed in the "Preparation for Test" section of each Test Program.
Hand Held Tester (HHT)
- Connect Hand-Held Tester (HHT) according to connection diagram below.
The following functions can be performed according to the instructions on the display:
a) Reading/erasing DTC memory
b) Reading actual values
c) Performing activations
d) Programming control modules
Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) which have been stored due to testing or the disconnection of lines must be erased from the diagnostic trouble code memory at the end of testing.
Special Tools:
Impulse Counter Scan Tool
- Connect Impulse counter Scan Tool according to connection diagram below.
LED "U-Batt" must light up in the display. If LED does not light up, check:
a) Voltage supply.
b) Impulse counter scan tool fuse.
1. Read Diagnostic Trouble code Memory
a) Ignition: ON
b) Press start button for 2 to 4 seconds.
c) Read and record diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
d) Press start button again for 2 to 4 seconds.
e) Read and record DTC.
Repeat steps d) and e) until the first DTC reappears.
NOTE: DTC readout is no longer possible using the impulse counter scan tool, with some systems, please review Section 12 in the "Diagnostic Procedures" section prior to starting the DTC readout.
2. Clear Diagnostic Trouble Code Memory 1)
a) Press start button for 2 to 4 seconds (DTC appears)
b) Wait 3 seconds, then press start button for 6 to 8 seconds, thereby erasing the previously displayed DTC from memory.
c) Each stored DTC must be erased individually.
1) Erasing of stored diagnostic trouble codes must begin within 20 seconds of reading the DTC. After 20 seconds, the DTC can no longer be erased. Erasing procedure can be restarted by performing DTC memory readout after the fault is again displayed.
