Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2121) 
   1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
   3. Turn the tester on.
   4. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
   5. Read the DTCs.
