Special Notes For Reading DTC's

Chassis Number Table:




In older models (1992-93), with chassis numbers as shown in the table, a control module with built-in diagnostic function can be used as a 'special tool' for reading off DTCs via the DLC. The control module part numbers are 913 0197-8 or 912 8853-0.

- Replace the existing control module with the unit with the built-in diagnostic function.
- Drive the car at over 4 miles/h (6 km/h). The control module will record any faults and post DTCs. These can then be read out via the DLC in DTM 1.

With pre-92 models (1989-91), the new control module cannot be used for fault-tracing or diagnosis, as the DLC is not wired up.
