Memorized vs. Non-Memorized Codes

Some sensor or circuit failures are stored in ECU and are known as memorized codes. While other circuit failures, called non-memorized codes, are not stored. Non-memorized codes can be retrieved if ignition is not turned off before accessing codes.

NOTE: To access non-memorized trouble codes, DO NOT stop engine. Connect jumper wire across self-diagnostic connector terminals TEN and GND. Observe MIL and note trouble codes.
