Diesel Data: Automotive Repair

With Manufacturer's Scan Tool

CHECK THE DTC

NOTE: When the diagnostic system is switched from normal mode to check mode, it erases all DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode. So before switching modes, always check the DTCs and freeze frame data, and note them down.

1. Prepare an OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or hand-held tester.




2. Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to DLC3 at the lower of the instrument panel.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester switch ON.
4. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/ DTC INFO/CURRENT CODES".
5. Use the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to check the DTCs and freeze frame data and note them down (For operating instructions, see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book).
6. See "Trouble Code Descriptions" to confirm the details of the DTCs.
