Provisional DTCs [OBD-II Test Mode - Results (Mode 7)]

PROVISIONAL DTCs [OBD-II Test Mode - Results (Mode 7)]

The general scan tool will display the Provisional DTCs reported by ECM if the ECM detects some malfunction for "Misfire", "Fuel System" and "Comprehensive" monitoring during a SINGLE Driving Cycle. The intended use of this data is to assist the technician after a vehicle repair, and after clearing diagnostic information, by reporting test result after a SINGLE Driving Cycle. Note that the test results reported by this mode do not necessarily indicate a faulty component/system. If test results indicate a failure after ADDITIONAL (consecutive) driving, then the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (SERVICE ENGINE SOON or Check Engine Lamp) will be illuminated and a DTC will set.
