Retrieving Codes

Turn ignition off. Connect PGM Tester or OBD-II scan tool to 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located behind passenger side of center console.

Turn ignition on. If using PGM Tester, follow tester prompts. Diagnostic trouble code tests are not needed. If using scan tool, check for and note any DTCs. Also check for and note Freeze Frame Data. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table and proceed to appropriate DTC testing.

CAUTION: DO NOT attempt any connection to 3-pin Data Link Connector (DLC) located near 2-pin service check connector.

Codes can also be accessed by using MIL. Connect SCS Service Connector (07PAZ-0010100) to 2-pin service check connector. Service check connector is located under passenger side of instrument panel near center console.

Turn ignition on. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will be indicated by a series of long and short flashes on MIL. The number of long flashes indicates the number in the 10s column. The number of short flashes indicates the number in the 1s column. For example, 4 long flashes followed by 3 short flashes would indicate DTC 43. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table and proceed to appropriate DTC testing.
