The recommended method for reading DTCs stored in memory, is by using a scan tool plugged into the Data Link Connector (DLC) connector located under the instrument panel on the left side. Follow the scan tool instructions supplied by the tool manufacturer. The DTCs will be stored in the memory of the IPC as a Current or a History DTC.
