Diagnostic Mode 07 - Read Faults Detected During the Current or Last Driving Cycle

The information provided in Modes 01 through 09 displays the various levels of emission related data that may be monitored, as well as the ability to retrieve and read stored DTC trouble codes, erase stored DTC trouble codes, generate readiness codes, and select the various PIDs and Test-IDs used within the modes to monitor the engine, and emission related component parameters.

Depending on scan tool and protocol used, the information in diagnostic mode 01 may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), or On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID).

Mode 07 makes it possible to check emissions-related faults which appeared during the current or last driving cycle (pending DTCs).

A pending DTC is saved the first time a fault is detected (output via Mode 07).

- If the fault is detected again by the end of the following driving cycle, a confirmed DTC is entered (output via Mode 03) and the MIL is activated.

- If this malfunction is not detected again by the end of the following driving cycle, the corresponding pending code will be deleted at the end of the driving cycle.

Depending on scan tool and protocol used, some of the information provided may be referred to by a different name.

Procedure

- Connect the scan tool.

- Start the engine and run at idle.

If the engine does not start, crank the engine using starter for at least 5 seconds. Do not switch the ignition off afterward.

- Select "Mode 7: Check test results of components that are continuously monitored".

The number of pending DTCs or "0 malfunctions detected" will be displayed on the scan tool screen.

- Refer to the following DTC tables for the diagnostic repair procedure:

SAE P0xxx-DTCs => [ SAE P0xxx-DTCs ] Testing and Inspection,

SAE P1xxx-DTCs => [ SAE P1xxx-DTCs ] Testing and Inspection,

SAE P2xxx-DTCs => [ SAE P2xxx-DTCs ] Testing and Inspection,

SAE P3xxx-DTCs => [ SAE P3xxx-DTCs ] Testing and Inspection,

SAE U0xxx-DTCs => [ SAE U0xxx-DTCs ] Testing and Inspection.
