DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E1-49 On-Board Diagnosis (Self-Diagnosis) 1. The Engine Control Module (ECM) conducts a self- test of most of the wiring and components in the system each time the key is turned to ON, and can detect faults in the system while the key is ON. If a fault is detected, the ECM will store a trouble code in memory and flash the CHECK ENGINE indicator to alert the driver. 2. The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) can be displayed by shorting together terminals and of the Data Link Connector (DLC) located behind front console. The CHECK ENGINE indicator will flash DTC 12 three times, followed by any DTC. If several DTC are stored, each DTC will be displayed three times. The DTC will be displayed in numerical order. The DTC display will continue as long as the DLC is shorted. Some DTC can cause other DTC to be stored, It is important to diagnose and repair the lowest numbered DTC first before going on to the higher numbered DTC. |
