OBD-II Generic Scan Tool Procedure

  1. Turn ignition off. Connect test mode connector leads together under left side of instrument panel. See Figure . Connect scan tool to DLC. On A/T vehicles, ensure selector lever is in "P" position. On M/T vehicles, depress clutch pedal. On all vehicles, start engine.
  2. Using selector (A/T) or shift (M/T) lever, turn "P" and "N" position switches on. Depress brake pedal on A/T vehicles to turn brake switch on. On all vehicles, maintain engine speed at 2500-3000 RPM for 40 seconds. On vehicles not equipped with a tachometer, use a secondary pick-up type tachometer to monitor engine speed.
  3. Place transaxle in "D" position (A/T) or first gear (M/T) and drive vehicle at 3-6 MPH. On all-wheel drive vehicles, release parking brake. On all vehicles, DTCs will be displayed if problems are still present. Record codes as required. This verification procedure may cause ABS warning light to illuminate due to speed variations between front and rear wheels. Clear ABS memory. See appropriate ANTI-LOCK article in BRAKES.
