Accessing and Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes


The DTCs are read in only one of following two ways:
^ Through the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC).
^ A scan tool.

Most all information in diagnostic tables will refer to the scan tool for diagnostic support. For details on using the IPC on-board diagnostic display feature to access and/or clear DTCs. Refer to On-Board Diagnostic System. On-Board Diagnostic System

Clear any history DTC after a system malfunction is corrected in order to prevent future misdiagnosis.
