With Generic Scan Tool

DTC CHECK

1. CHECK DTC




DTCs which are stored in the ECM can be displayed with the hand-held tester.

These scan tools can display pending DTCs and current DTCs. Some DTCs are not stored if the ECM does not detect a malfunction during consecutive driving. However, the detected malfunction during once driving is stored as pending DTC.
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3).
b. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
c. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES (or PENDING CODE).
d. Confirm the DTCs and freeze frame data and then write them down.
e. See Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart to confirm the details of the DTCs.

NOTE: When simulating a symptom with the hand-held tester to check the DTCs, use the normal mode. For DTC chart subject to "2 trip detection logic", perform either of the following actions.

Turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is simulated once. Then repeat the simulation process again. When the problem has been simulated twice, the MIL illuminates and the DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
