B. Read Fault Code
This function displays the detailed information of DTC records retrieved from the
vehicle’s control system.
*Note: Retrieving and using DTCs for troubleshooting vehicle operation is only one
part of an overall diagnostic strategy. Never replace a part based only on the DTC
definition. Each DTC has a set of testing procedures, instructions and flow charts that
must be followed to confirm the location of the problem. This information can be found
in the vehicle’s service manual.
In Fig. 5-24, tap “Read Fault Code”, the screen will display the diagnostic result.
