  2. The first test to run is Read/Clear Continuous DTC Self-Test. Record DTCs and proceed to the KOEO Self-Test. The purpose of recording the Continuous DTCs at this time is to make sure they are not unintentionally cleared during any KOEO or KOER service. KOEO and KOER codes are always addressed before Continuous codes.
  3. If DTCs are present, go to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS  . If no DTCs are present, go to next step.
