Displaying & Reading Trouble Codes






When Using The Scan Tool
Connect the scan tool to the data link connector, and then read the diagnostic trouble codes.

CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch off before disconnecting or connecting the scan tool.






If Scan Tool Not Available
1. Cycle the ignition key ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON within 5 seconds.
2. Count the number of times the check engine/malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument panel flashes on and off. The number of flashes represents the diagnostic trouble code. There is a slight pause between the flashes to separate the first and second digits of the code. Longer pauses between flashes separate individual diagnostic trouble codes.
