symptom, not as the cause for the problem. In some
cases, because of the design of the diagnostic test
procedure, a DTC can be the reason for another DTC
to be set. Therefore, it is important that the test pro-
cedures be followed in sequence, to understand what
caused a DTC to be set.
See the Generator Diagnostic Trouble Code chart
(Fig. 7) for DTC’s which apply to the charging sys-
tem. Refer to the Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures
manual to diagnose an on-board diagnostic system
trouble code.
RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
To start this function, cycle the ignition switch ON-
OFF-ON-OFF-ON within 5 seconds. This will cause
any DTC stored in the PCM memory to be displayed.
The malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp will
display a DTC by flashing on and off. There is a
short pause between flashes and a longer pause
between digits. All DTC’s displayed are two-digit
numbers, with a four-second pause between codes.
An example of a DTC is as follows:
(1) Lamp on for 2 seconds, then turns off.
(2) Lamp flashes 4 times pauses and then flashes
1 time.
(3) Lamp pauses for 4 seconds, flashes 4 times,
pauses, then flashes 7 times.
(4) The two DTC’s are 41 and 47. Any number of
DTC’s can be displayed, as long as they are in mem-
ory. The lamp will flash until all stored DTC’s are
displayed, then it will flash a DTC 55 to indicate the
test is complete.
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
The DRB Scan Tool must be used to erase a DTC.
