Notes On Trouble Codes

  1. No other trouble code will appear with Trouble Code 11.
  2. On various models when certain trouble codes occur, MIL on instrument panel will not come on. For designation of MIL operation on certain trouble codes, see appropriate table under TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION .
  3. On various models when certain trouble codes initially occur, they will be temporarily stored in ECM memory, but MIL on instrument panel will not come on.
  4. The second time trouble code is detected, MIL on instrument panel will then come on. This is referred to as the 2 trip detection logic and only applies to specified trouble codes. See DETECTION LOGIC TROUBLE CODES  table.
