DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
OPERATION
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has recognized an abnormal condition in the system.

DTC's are the results of a system or circuit failure, but do not directly identify the failed component or components.

Technicians must retrieve stored DTC's by connecting the DRB III scan tool (or an equivalent scan tool) to the 16-way data link connector. This connector is located on the lower edge of the instrument panel near the steering column.

Obtaining DTC's

WARNING: APPLY PARKING BRAKE AND/OR BLOCK WHEELS BEFORE PERFORMING ANY TEST ON AN OPERATING ENGINE.

1. Connect the DRB scan tool to data link (diagnostic) connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch on, access Read Fault Screen. Record all the DTC's shown on the DRB scan tool.
3. To erase DTC's, use the Erase Trouble Code data screen on the DRB scan tool.


NOTE: For a list of DTC's, refer to the charts.
