Field Service Mode Check (If Available)
If DLC test terminal "B" is grounded with engine running, SERVICE ENGINE SOON light will indicate operational mode of engine. This test confirms proper operation of fuel system and verifies "closed loop" operation. Clear codes and perform this test after any repair is completed. Most models require the use of a scan tester to enter field service mode. See FIELD SERVICE MODE CHECK in BASIC TESTING article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
NOTE:
Vehicles utilizing a 16-terminal DLC or 12-terminal DLC with terminal "B" not used, must use a scan tester for retrieving codes or enter Field Service Mode.
