Retrieving Codes
NOTE:
DTCs are retrieved using TECH II or other OBD-II compatible scan tool.
- DTC retrieval starts with OBD-II diagnostic system check. See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC II (OBD-II) SYSTEM CHECK . Also see WIRING DIAGRAMS article for circuits and terminals referenced in testing.
- Turn ignition on. MIL should come on and remain on steady when ignition is on and engine is not running. When engine is started, MIL should go off. If light remains on while engine is running, a DTC is stored.
- If light does not come on with ignition on and engine off, inspect MIL circuit before continuing. If MIL fails to operate, see MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) INOPERATIVE .
- To retrieve codes, install scan tool. Follow scan tool manufacturer's instruction for DTC retrieval.
