Displaying Trouble Codes

  1. Electronic Control Module (ECM), Body Control Module (BCM) and Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) trouble codes automatically display after system enters self-diagnostics. ECM trouble codes are displayed first, followed by BCM trouble codes and then SIR trouble codes.
  2. All trouble codes appear in an ascending (3-digit) numerical order. ECM codes are prefixed by "E", BCM codes are prefixed by "B" and SIR codes are prefixed by "R".
    NOTE: Although not prefixed by "B", Code C710, CRTC SWITCHING CIRCUIT PROBLEM, is considered a BCM code. See BCM TROUBLE CODES table.
  3. In addition, all trouble codes are followed by "C" or "H". "C" stands for current and indicates a trouble code related fault presently exists. "H" stands for history and indicates system failure was not present last time code was accessed.
  4. For example: E016H is ECM trouble code number 016, set in response to a malfunction which occurred in past (history). Code B410C is BCM trouble code number 410, set in response to a malfunction currently taking place.
  5. If no ECM, BCM or SIR trouble codes are stored in memory, a NO E CODE, NO B CODE or NO R CODE message is displayed respectively. Should communication link between a component and ECM or BCM fail, a NO ECM/BCM DATA message will be displayed.
  6. Trouble code display can be by-passed at any time by pressing FAN (DOWN) button on ECCP (touching RTN key on CRT monitor).
