NORMAL Mode Code Retrieval

  1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3. Turn ignition on with engine off. Turn scan tool on. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, check for DTCs and freeze-frame data.
  2. If scan tool displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, check DLC No. 3. See DLC NO. 3 INSPECTION  under SCAN TOOL PROBLEMS. If scan tool does not display UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, go to next step.
  3. Record any DTCs and freeze-frame data displayed for system diagnosis. If driveability problem exists and no DTCs are present, go to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article for diagnosis by symptom.

For more information on freeze-frame data, see FREEZE-FRAME DATA  under INTRODUCTION. For information on 2-trip detection logic codes, see TWO-TRIP DETECTION LOGIC  under INTRODUCTION.
