Quick Test 4.0 - Continuous Memory Codes
Continuous memory DTCs are from concerns which were detected during normal vehicle operation. These codes are retained for 40 warm up cycles.
After servicing any KOEO or KOER "hard" DTCs and a pass code 111 is received on both, service the continuous memory codes.
Some special considerations for Continuous testing include the following:
- The cause of some Continuous Memory Codes may have been eliminated if KOEO and/or KOER DTCs were serviced. Always re-test and service any DTCs that still remain.
- If DTCs are present, go to the On-Board Diagnostic Trouble Code Description Chart for service information. Erase DTCs, perform drive cycle test, and repeat the Quick Test after completing service on the DTCs.
- If the Continuous test passes (111) and a concern is still present, refer to the Hydraulic/Mechanical charts and TSBs for concern diagnostics.
CAUTION: DTCs in continuous memory can be erased by disconnecting the battery or by ungrounding the Self Test Input (STI) while the codes are being displayed during the KOEO Self-Test. This STI is ungrounded by disconnecting the small data link connector or unlatching the Star Tester button. Always write down the DTCs to avoid losing information that can be used to diagnose the customer's complaint.
- Service any non-transaxle DTCs first as they can directly affect the operation of the transaxle. Repeat the Quick Test and Road Test to verify the correction.
Special Test Modes
1. Wiggle test mode:
a. After all DTCs have been received, the wiggle test mode may be entered by pressing center button on Star Tester twice. This will unlatch and relatch STI.
b. The wiggle test allows the technician to attempt to re-create an intermittent malfunction. Tap, move and wiggle the suspected sensor and/or wire harness. When a malfunction is detected, the Self Test Output (STO) will be turned on as long as the concern is present. STO ON will cause the SUPER STAR II Tester to sound a continuous tone. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will also illuminate.
2. Output cycling test mode:
a. After all KOEO DTCs have been received, the output test mode is entered. Actuator outputs will turn on and off each time the throttle is depressed to WOT and then returned to closed position.
