Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

1. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the scan tool menu. If the vehicle selection cannot be entered:
^ check that the program card is correctly installed.
^ check the connections to the vehicle.
^ check the ignition switch position.

If the scan tool still does not allow the vehicle selection to be entered, refer to the scan tool manual.

2. Perform the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST using the scan tool. If the scan tool responds with:
^ CKT 914 and CKT 915 = ALL MODULE NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED, go to Communication System Diagnostics Module Communications Network (Information Bus) to diagnose network concern.
^ If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is not listed for a communication concern, turn the A/C function selector switch to OFF and execute Self-Test Diagnostics for PCM.
3. If any PCM DTCs are retrieved, and are related to the concern, go to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics.
4. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
