Using Scan Tool

  1. With ignition off, connect scan tool and appropriate ROM pack to data link connector located under driver side of dash. See Fig 1.
  2. Turn ignition on. ANTI-LOCK warning light should come on as ABS goes into self-diagnostic mode. Read and record all diagnostic output DTCs from ECU memory. Refer to scan tool manufacturer's instructions for specific DTC retrieval procedure.
  3. After all DTCs have been retrieved and recorded, clear DTCs from ECU memory. Refer to scan tool manufacturer's instructions for specific DTC clearing instructions. See DTC DEFINITION  table under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING.
  4. If DTCs cannot be cleared, ECU is currently detecting a malfunction. If DTCs can be cleared, problem is either intermittent or only appears while driving.
