With Manufacturer's Scan Tool

CAUTION:
1. If battery voltage is low, diagnostic trouble codes may not be output. Be sure to check the battery and charging system before continuing.
2. If the battery is disconnected or if the TCM connector is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble code memory will be erased. Do not disconnect the battery or TCM until after the diagnostic trouble codes are recorded.
3. Turn the ignition switch off before connecting or disconnecting the scan tool.

HOW TO READ AND ERASE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
1. Install the interface cartridge (I/F cartridge) to the scan tool .





2. Use the I/F cartridge adapter harness to connect the scan tool to the data link connector.
3. Read the diagnostic trouble codes.
4. Repair the malfunction while referring to the TROUBLE CODE DESCRIPTIONS.
5. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and then back to ON again.
6. Erase the PCM diagnostic trouble code (137:P0700) immediately after erasing the TCM diagnostic trouble code.
7. Check that the diagnostic trouble code is normal.

NOTE: If the transaxle DTC has been set, (excluding cases where only part of the DTC has been set), the TCM will let the PCM know that a DTC has been sent to the PCM and a problem has occurred. As a result of this, the PCM records the DTC for a transaxle problem (137:P0700). After the transaxle has been repaired, the DTC (137:P0700) which has been stored in the PCM will remain there without being erased, even after the DTC which is store in the TCM has been erased. Therefore the DTC (137:P0700) in the PCM needs to be erased also.
