Displaying DTC Codes

The DTC codes can be displayed by entering the diagnostics mode. Clearing DTC codes and Input/Output Diagnostics are also available in the diagnostics mode.

Complete the following steps in order to enter the diagnostics mode:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
2. Remove the BCM PRGRM fuse.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.
4. Turn the ignition switch from the ACC position to the LOCK position then back to the ACC position within 1 second.

The BCM will enter the on-board diagnostic mode and flash the fasten seat belts indicator and sound the chime equal to the number of DTCs stored in the BCM memory. If no DTCs are stored, the BCM will not flash the fasten seat belts indicator or activate the chime.

The BCM flashes and sounds the first DTC with the lowest number, pauses, then continues with the next DTC until all of the DTCs are read. With a DTC 1, the BCM will only sound the chime once, and the fasten seat belts indicator may not flash. Once all of the DTCs are read, the BCM repeats this sequence 3 times.

IMPORTANT: If the fasten seat belts indicator does not flash, and the chime does not sound, complete the following procedure in order to confirm that the BCM has entered the diagnostics mode:

1. Ensure that all of the vehicle doors are closed.
2. Open and close any vehicle door.
3. Fasten and release the driver seat belt.

The BCM sounds the chime when receiving an input signal such as opening a door or fastening the driver seat belt when the BCM is in the diagnostics mode.

If the BCM does not sound the chime upon opening a door or fastening the driver seat belt, repeat Step 1 of Entering the diagnostics mode. If the BCM does not enter the diagnostics mode, then refer to Body Control Module Inoperative.
