Self Diagnosis With Consult-II or GST

SELF DIAGNOSIS WITH CONSULT-II or GST (Generic Scan Tool)
Examples: P0705, P0710, P0720, P0725, etc. These DTCs are prescribed by SAE J2012. (CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
- 1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
- Output of the diagnostic trouble code indicates that the indicated circuit has a malfunction. However, in case of the Mode II and GST they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring or occurred in the past and returned to normal.
CONSULT can identify them as shown below. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is recommended.





A sample of CONSULT-II display for DTC and 1st trip DTC are shown. DTC or 1st trip DTC of a malfunction is displayed in "SELF DIAGNOSIS" mode for "ENGINE" with CONSULT-II. Time data indicates how many times the vehicle was driven after the last detection of a DTC.





If the DTC is being detected currently, the time data will be "0".





If a 1st trip DTC is stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM), the time data will be "245".
