Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes

NOTE: Ensure battery is fully charged before retrieving diagnostic trouble codes.
  1. Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel, near driver's side kick panel. See Fig 1.

  2. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, read and record DTC message (DRB scan tool) or DTC code (generic scan tool) and freeze frame data. On any scan tool, if scan tool displays NO RESPONSE, perform TEST NS-1: NO RESPONSE CONDITION . If scan tool will not power up, check for loose cable connections or bad cable. If cable connections and cable are okay, use voltmeter and check voltage at cavity No. 16 (Pink/White wire) on DLC. Voltage should be at least 11 volts. If voltage is not as specified, check wiring circuit and necessary fuses. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
  3. Note DTC messages and codes. See DTC MESSAGES & CODES  table.
  4. If scan tool displays an error message, (i.e., USER-REQUESTED COLD BOOT or USER-REQUESTED WARM BOOT), follow scan tool manufacturer's instructions. If scan tool displays a BUS failure, this indicates either a scan tool failure or BUS failure. To diagnose and correct BUS failures, see appropriate VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
  5. Perform appropriate test for displayed DTCs. See appropriate DTC test listed under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TESTS . Once all repairs are made, ensure DTCs are cleared from PCM. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  6. If no DTCs are displayed, refer to one of the following:
    • For driveability problems, perform TEST NTC-1: NO TROUBLE CODE TEST MENU  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.
    • For no-start problems, perform TEST NS-SEL: NO START TEST SELECTION  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.
    • For speed control problems and additional servicing information, see appropriate CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
    • For charging system problems and additional servicing information, see appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS.
    NOTE: If MIL remains on steady and no DTCs exist, check instrument cluster for diagnosis of MIL. See appropriate BODY CONTROL COMPUTER TESTS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
