and Failure Record data which may help diagnose an in-
termittent fault will also be erased from memory. If the fault
that caused the DTC to be stored into memory has been
corrected, the Diagnostic Executive will begin to count the
”warm–up” cycles with no further faults detected, the DTC
will automatically be cleared from the powertrain control
module (PCM)/engine control module (ECM) memory.
To clear DTCs, use the diagnostic scan tool. When a scan
tool is not available, DTCs can also be cleared by discon-
necting one of the following sources for at least thirty (30)
seconds:
Notice : To prevent system damage, the ignition key must
be OFF when disconnecting or reconnecting battery pow-
er.
S
The power source to the control module. Examples:
fuse, pigtail at battery PCM/ECM connectors etc.
S
The negative battery cable. (Disconnecting the neg-
ative battery cable will result in the loss of other
onboard memory data, such as preset radio tun-
ing).
DTC Modes
On On–Board Diagnostic (OBD II) passenger cars there
are five options available in the scan tool DTC mode to dis-
play the enhanced information available. A description of
the new modes, DTC Info and Specific DTC, follows. After
selecting DTC, the following menu appears:
S
DTC Info.
S
Specific DTC.
S
Freeze Frame.
S
Fail Records (not all applications).
S
Clear Info.
The following is a brief description of each of the sub me-
nus in DTC Info and Specific DTC. The order in which they
appear here is alphabetical and not necessarily the way
they will appear on the scan tool.
DTC Information Mode
Use the DTC info mode to search for a specific type of
stored DTC information. There are seven choices. The
service manual may instruct the technician to test for
DTCs in a certain manner. Always follow published service
procedures.
To get a complete description of any status, press the ”En-
ter” key before pressing the desired F–key. For example,
pressing ”Enter” then an F–key will display a definition of
the abbreviated scan tool status.
DTC Status
This selection will display any DTCs that have not run dur-
ing the current ignition cycle or have reported a test failure
during this ignition up to a maximum of 33 DTCs. DTC
tests which run and pass will cause that DTC number to
be removed from the scan tool screen.
Fail This Ign. (Fail This Ignition)
This selection will display all DTCs that have failed during
the present ignition cycle.
History
This selection will display only DTCs that are stored in the
PCM/ECM’s history memory. It will not display type B
DTCs that have not requested the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL). It will display all type A and B DTCs that have
requested the MIL and have failed within the last 40 warm–
up cycles. In addition, it will display all type C and type D
DTCs that have failed within the last 40 warm–up cycles.
Last Test Fail
This selection will display only DTCs that failed the last
time the test ran. The last test may have run during a pre-
vious ignition cycle if a type A or type B DTC is displayed.
For type C and type D DTCs, the last failure must have oc-
curred during the current ignition cycle to appear as Last
Test Fail.
MIL Request
This selection will display only DTCs that are requesting
the MIL. Type C and type D DTCs cannot be displayed us-
ing this option. This selection will report type B DTCs only
after the MIL has been requested.
Not Run SCC (Not Run Since Code Clear)
This option will display up to 33 DTCs that have not run
since the DTCs were last cleared. Since any displayed
DTCs have not run, their condition (passing or failing) is
unknown.
Test Fail SCC (Test Failed Since Code
Clear)
This selection will display all active and history DTCs that
have reported a test failure since the last time DTCs were
cleared. DTCs that last failed more than 40 warm–up
cycles before this option is selected will not be displayed.
Specific DTC Mode
This mode is used to check the status of individual diag-
nostic tests by DTC number. This selection can be ac-
cessed if a DTC has passed, failed or both. Many OBD II
DTC mode descriptions are possible because of the ex-
tensive amount of information that the diagnostic execu-
tive monitors regarding each test. Some of the many pos-
sible descriptions follow with a brief explanation.
The ”F2” key is used, in this mode, to display a description
of the DTC. The ”Yes” and ”No” keys may also be used to
display more DTC status information. This selection will
only allow entry of DTC numbers that are supported by the
vehicle being tested. If an attempt is made to enter DTC
numbers for tests which the diagnostic executive does not
recognize, the requested information will not be displayed
correctly and the scan tool may display an error message.
The same applies to using the DTC trigger option in the
Snapshot mode. If an invalid DTC is entered, the scan tool
will not trigger.
