Cis Digital Control (200/200 QUATTRO) Input Codes

  1. Locate 2 diagnostic connectors in drivers footwell area. Connect a test light between connectors A and B. See Fig 1 .
  2. Connect a jumper wire to other terminal in connector A. Touch other end of jumper wire to the only terminal in connector B for at least 4 seconds. Fault codes will now be displayed by the flashing "CHECK" light for California vehicles or a flashing test light for Federal vehicles.
    NOTE: Careful attention must be paid to flashing light, since there are no discernable break points between 4-digit number groups.
  3. Trouble codes will then be flashed as 4 digit numbers. After each flash there will be a 1/2 second pause before the next flash occurs. Adding flashes together will obtain each code digit.
