EXTRACTING FAULT CODESIf the Check Engine Light has been reported on, you can extract the fault codes as follows:
Service Check Connector / Data Link Connector:
1. Connect the Service Check Connector terminals with a jumper wire (the Service Check Connector is located behind the center console).
Malfunction Indicator Lamp:
2. The Check Engine light indicates a failure code by blinking frequency. The Check Engine light can indicate any number of simultaneous component problems by blinking separate codes, on after another. Problem codes 1 through 9 are indicated by individual short blinks. Problem codes 10 through 43 are indicated by a series of long and short blinks. The number of long blinks equals the first digit, the number of short blinks equals the second digit.
3. Remove the jumper wire when finished extracting DTC(s).
4. When troubleshooting is completed, perform the following procedures:
- Clear the ECM DTC(s).
- Set the radio preset stations and the clock setting.
