Accessing and Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes

A scan tool is used to read active and history diagnostic trouble codes. The scan tool must be updated to communicate with the SIR system. To use a scan tool, connect it to the data link connector and turn the ignition switch "On." The scan tool reads serial data from the SDM "SERIAL DATA" output terminal "A5" to the Data Link Connector terminal 9.
