About the Code Reader
VEHICLES COVERED

VEHICLES COVERED
The Code Reader is designed to work on all OBD2 compliant vehicles.
All 1996 and newer vehicles (cars and light trucks) sold in the United
States are OBD2 compliant. This includes all Domestic, Asian and
European vehicles. Coverage for new model vehicles may be limited
and will be available once released by the automaker. Availability is
typically 12 to 24 months after the release of the model year.
Some 1994 and 1995 vehicles are OBD2 compliant. To find out if a
1994 or 1995 vehicle is OBD2 compliant, check the following:
1. The Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) Label. This
label is located under the hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If
the vehicle is OBD2 compliant, the label will state “OBD II
Certified.”

Onboard Diagnostics
OBD2 TERMINOLOGY

OBD2 TERMINOLOGY
The following terms and their definitions are related to OBD2 systems.
Read and reference this list as needed to aid in the understanding of
OBD2 systems.
„ Powertrain Control Module (PCM) - The PCM is the OBD2
accepted term for the vehicle’s “on-board computer.” In addition
to controlling the engine management and emissions systems,
the PCM also participates in controlling the powertrain
(transmission) operation. Most PCMs also have the ability to
communicate with other computers on the vehicle (ABS, ride
control, body, etc.).
„ Monitor - Monitors are “diagnostic routines” programmed into the
PCM. The PCM utilizes these programs to run diagnostic tests, and
to monitor operation of the vehicle’s emissions-related components
or systems to ensure they are operating correctly and within the
vehicle’s manufacturer specifications. Currently, up to fifteen
Monitors are used in OBD2 systems. Additional Monitors will be
added as the OBD2 system is further developed.
Not all vehicles support all fifteen Monitors.
„ Enabling Criteria - Each Monitor is designed to test
and monitor the operation of a specific part of the vehicle’s emissions
system (EGR system, oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, etc.). A
specific set of “conditions” or “driving procedures” must be met before
the computer can command a Monitor to run tests on its related
system. These “conditions” are known as “Enabling Criteria.” The
requirements and procedures vary for each Monitor. Some Monitors
only require the ignition key to be turned “On” for them to run and
complete their diagnostic testing. Others may require a set of complex
procedures, such as starting the vehicle when cold, bringing it to
operating temperature, and driving the vehicle under specific
conditions before the Monitor can run and complete its diagnostic
testing.
„ Monitor Has/Has Not Run - The terms “Monitor has run” or
“Monitor has not run” are used throughout this manual. “Monitor
has run,” means the PCM has commanded a particular Monitor to
perform the required diagnostic testing on a system to ensure the
system is operating correctly (within factory specifications). The term
“Monitor has not run” means the PCM has not yet commanded a
particular Monitor to perform diagnostic testing on its associated part
of the emissions system.
„ Trip - A Trip for a particular Monitor requires that the vehicle is
being driven in such a way that all the required “Enabling Criteria”
for the Monitor to run and complete its diagnostic testing are met.
The “Trip Drive Cycle” for a particular Monitor begins when the
ignition key is turned “On.” It is successfully completed when all the
“Enabling Criteria” for the Monitor to run and complete its diagnostic
testing are met by the time the ignition key is turned “Off.” Since
each of the fifteen monitors is designed to run diagnostics and
testing on a different part of the engine or emissions system, the
“Trip Drive Cycle” needed for each individual Monitor to run and
complete varies.

7
Onboard Diagnostics
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)

„ OBD2 Drive Cycle - An OBD2 Drive Cycle is an extended set of


driving procedures that takes into consideration the various types of
driving conditions encountered in real life. These conditions may
include starting the vehicle when it is cold, driving the vehicle at a
steady speed (cruising), accelerating, etc. An OBD2 Drive Cycle
begins when the ignition key is turned “On” (when cold) and ends
when the vehicle has been driven in such a way as to have all the
“Enabling Criteria” met for all its applicable Monitors. Only those
trips that provide the Enabling Criteria for all Monitors applicable to
the vehicle to run and complete their individual diagnostic tests
qualify as an OBD2 Drive Cycle. OBD2 Drive Cycle requirements
vary from one model of vehicle to another. Vehicle manufacturers
set these procedures. Consult your vehicle’s service manual for
OBD2 Drive Cycle procedures.
Do not confuse a “Trip” Drive Cycle with an OBD2 Drive Cycle.
A “Trip” Drive Cycle provides the “Enabling Criteria” for one
specific Monitor to run and complete its diagnostic testing. An
OBD2 Drive Cycle must meet the “Enabling Criteria” for all
Monitors on a particular vehicle to run and complete their
diagnostic testing.
„ Warm-up Cycle - Vehicle operation after an engine off period where
engine temperature rises at least 40°F (22°C) from its temperature
before starting, and reaches at least 160°F (70°C). The PCM uses
warm-up cycles as a counter to automatically erase a specific code
and related data from its memory. When no faults related to the
original problem are detected within a specified number of warm-up
cycles, the code is erased automatically.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)


Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are
meant to guide you to the proper Diagnostic Trouble
service procedure in the vehicle’s Codes (DTCs) are
service manual. DO NOT replace parts codes that identify a
based only on DTCs without first specific problem area.
consulting the vehicle’s service manual
for proper testing procedures for that
particular system, circuit or component.
DTCs are alphanumeric codes that are used to identify a
problem that is present in any of the systems that are
monitored by the on-board computer (PCM). Each trouble
code has an assigned message that identifies the circuit,
component or system area where the problem was found.

OBD2 diagnostic trouble codes are made up of five characters:


„ The 1st character is a letter (B, C, P or U). It identifies the “main
system” where the fault occurred (Body, Chassis, Powertrain, or
Network).
„ The 2nd character is a numeric digit (0 thru 3). It identifies the
“type” of code (Generic or Manufacturer-Specific).

8
Onboard Diagnostics
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)

Generic DTCs are codes that are used by all vehicle manu-
facturers. The standards for generic DTCs, as well as their
definitions, are set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
Manufacturer-Specific DTCs are codes that are controlled by the
vehicle manufacturers. The Federal Government does not require
vehicle manufacturers to go beyond the standardized generic
DTCs in order to comply with the new OBD2 emissions standards.
However, manufacturers are free to expand beyond the
standardized codes to make their systems easier to diagnose.
„ The 3rd character is a letter or a numeric digit (0 thru 9, A thru F). It
identifies the specific system or sub-system where the problem is
located.
„ The 4th and 5th characters are letters or numeric digits (0 thru 9, A
thru F). They identify the section of the system that is malfunctioning.

Onboard Diagnostics
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)

DTCs and MIL Status


When the vehicle’s on-board computer detects
a failure in an emissions-related component or
system, the computer’s internal diagnostic
program assigns a diagnostic trouble code
(DTC) that points to the system (and subsystem)
where the fault was found. The diagnostic
program saves the code in the computer’s
memory. It records a “Freeze Frame” of condi-
tions present when the fault was found, and lights the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL). Some faults require detection for two trips in a row
before the MIL is turned on.
The “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” (MIL) is the accepted term
used to describe the lamp on the dashboard that lights to warn
the driver that an emissions-related fault has been found.
Some manufacturers may still call this lamp a “Check Engine”
or “Service Engine Soon” light.
There are two types of DTCs used for emissions-related faults: Type “A”
and Type “B.” Type “A” codes are “One-Trip” codes; Type “B” DTCs are
usually Two-Trip DTCs.
When a Type “A” DTC is found on the First Trip, the following events
take place:
„ The computer commands the MIL “On” when the failure is first found.
„ If the failure causes a severe misfire that may cause damage to the
catalytic converter, the MIL “flashes” once per second. The MIL
continues to flash as long as the condition exists. If the condition
that caused the MIL to flash is no longer present, the MIL will light
“steady” On.
„ A DTC is saved in the computer’s memory for later retrieval.
„ A “Freeze Frame” of the conditions present in the engine or emissions
system when the MIL was ordered “On” is saved in the computer’s
memory for later retrieval. This information shows fuel system status
(closed loop or open loop), engine load, coolant temperature, fuel trim
value, MAP vacuum, engine RPM and DTC priority.
When a Type “B” DTC is found on the First Trip, the following events
take place:
„ The computer sets a Pending DTC, but the MIL is not ordered “On.”
“Freeze Frame” data may or may not be saved at this time
depending on manufacturer. The Pending DTC is saved in the
computer’s memory for later retrieval.
„ If the failure is found on the second consecutive trip, the MIL is
ordered “On.” “Freeze Frame” data is saved in the computer’s
memory.
„ If the failure is not found on the second Trip, the Pending DTC is
erased from the computer’s memory.
The MIL will stay lit for both Type “A” and Type “B” codes until one of
the following conditions occurs:

10
Onboard Diagnostics
OBD2 MONITORS

„ If the conditions that caused the MIL to light are no longer present
for the next three trips in a row, the computer automatically turns the
MIL “Off” if no other emissions-related faults are present. However,
the DTCs remain in the computer’s memory as a history code for 40
warm-up cycles (80 warm-up cycles for fuel and misfire faults). The
DTCs are automatically erased if the fault that caused them to be
set is not detected again during that period.
„ Misfire and fuel system faults require three trips with “similar
conditions” before the MIL is turned “Off.” These are trips where the
engine load, RPM and temperature are similar to the conditions
present when the fault was first found.
After the MIL has been turned off, DTCs and Freeze Frame
data stay in the computer’s memory.
„ Erasing the DTCs from the computer’s memory can also turn off the
MIL. See ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs) on
page 20, before erasing codes from the computer’s memory. If a
Diagnostic Tool or Code Reader is used to erase the codes, Freeze
Frame data will also be erased.

OBD2 MONITORS
Currently, fifteen Monitors are supported by OBD2 systems. Additional
monitors may be added as a result of Government regulations as the
OBD2 system grows and matures. Not all vehicles support all fifteen
Monitors. Additionally, some Monitors are supported by “spark ignition”
vehicles only, while others are supported by “compression ignition”
vehicles only.
Monitor operation is either “Continuous” or “Non-Continuous,”
depending on the specific monitor.

Continuous Monitors
Three of these Monitors are designed to constantly monitor their
associated components and/or systems for proper operation.
Continuous Monitors run constantly when the engine is running. The
Continuous Monitors are:
Comprehensive Component Monitor (CCM)
Misfire Monitor
Fuel System Monitor
Non-Continuous Monitors

The other twelve Monitors are “non-continuous” Monitors. “Non-


continuous” Monitors perform and complete their testing once per trip.
The “non-continuous” Monitors are:

11

Preparation for Testing
BEFORE YOU BEGIN

BEFORE YOU BEGIN


Fix any known mechanical problems before performing any test. See
your vehicle's service manual or a mechanic for more information.
Check the following areas before starting any test:
„ Check the engine oil, power steering fluid, transmission fluid (if
applicable), engine coolant and other fluids for proper levels. Top off
low fluid levels if needed.
„ Make sure the air filter is clean and in good condition. Make sure all
air filter ducts are properly connected. Check the air filter ducts for
holes, rips or cracks.
„ Make sure all engine belts are in good condition. Check for cracked,
torn, brittle, loose or missing belts.
„ Make sure mechanical linkages to engine sensors (throttle, gearshift
position, transmission, etc.) are secure and properly connected. See
your vehicle's service manual for locations.
„ Check all rubber hoses (radiator) and steel hoses (vacuum/fuel) for
leaks, cracks, blockage or other damage. Make sure all hoses are
routed and connected properly.
„ Make sure all spark plugs are clean and in good condition. Check
for damaged, loose, disconnected or missing spark plug wires.
„ Make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. Check for
corrosion or broken connections. Check for proper battery and
charging system voltages.
„ Check all electrical wiring and harnesses for proper connection. Make
sure wire insulation is in good condition, and there are no bare wires.
„ Make sure the engine is mechanically sound. If needed, perform a com-
pression check, engine vacuum check, timing check (if applicable), etc.

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE


Never replace a part based only on the DTC definition. Each DTC has a
set of testing procedures, instructions and flow charts that must be
followed to confirm the location of the problem. This information is found
in the vehicle's service manual. Always refer to the vehicle's service
manual for detailed testing instructions.
Check your vehicle thoroughly before performing any test. See
Preparation for Testing on page 14 for details.
ALWAYS observe safety precautions whenever working on a
vehicle. See Safety Precautions on page 1 for more information.
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Locate the vehicle's 16-pin Data Link
Connector (DLC). See page 2 for
connector location.
Some DLCs have a plastic
cover that must be removed
before connecting the Code
Reader cable connector.
3. Connect the Code Reader’s cable connector to the vehicle's DLC. The
cable connector is keyed and will only fit one way.
„ If you have problems connecting the
cable connector to the DLC, rotate
the connector 180° and try again.
„ If you still have problems, check the
DLC on the vehicle and on the Code
Reader. Refer to your vehicle's
service manual to properly check
the vehicle's DLC.
„ After the Code Reader’s test connector is properly connected to
the vehicle's DLC, the Vehicle icon should display to confirm
a good power connection.
4. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT start the
engine.
5. When the Code Reader’s cable
connector is properly connected to the
vehicle’s DLC, the unit automatically
turns ON.
„ If the unit does not power on automatically when connected to
the vehicle’s DLC connector, it usually indicates there is no
power present at the vehicle’s DLC connector. Check your fuse
panel and replace any burned-out fuses.
„ If replacing the fuse(s) does not correct the problem, consult
your vehicle’s repair manual to identify the proper computer
(PCM) fuse/circuit, and perform any necessary repairs before
proceeding.

and display any Diagnostic Trouble Codes, Monitor Status and
Freeze Frame Data retrieved from the vehicle’s computer memory.
„ The Code Reader will display a
code only if codes are present in the
vehicle’s computer memory. If no
codes are present, a “No DTC’s or
Freeze Frame data presently stored
in the vehicle’s computer” message
is displayed.
„ The Code Reader is capable of
retrieving and storing up to 32 codes
in memory, for immediate or later
viewing.

(communicating with) the vehicle’s computer.
„ The I/M Monitor Status icons indicate the type and number of
Monitors the vehicle supports, and provides indications of the
current status of the vehicle’s Monitors. A solid Monitor icon
indicates the associated Monitor has run and completed its
testing. A blinking Monitor icon indicates the associated Monitor
has not run and completed its testing.
„ The top line in the Test Data Display Area shows the DTC, the
number of the code currently being
displayed and the total number of
codes retrieved, and the type of
code being displayed (Generic
Stored, Generic Pending, Generic
Permanent, etc).
„ The upper right hand corner shows
whether or not the displayed code
commanded the MIL on and
whether Freeze Frame data was
stored for the “priority” code.
„ The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and related code definition
are shown in the lower section of the display.
In the case of long code definitions, or when viewing Freeze
Frame Data, a small arrow is shown in the upper/lower right-
hand corner of the Code Reader display area to indicate the
presence of additional information. Use the button, as

Using the Code Reader
CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

„ Green LED – Indicates that all


engine systems are “OK” and
operating normally. All monitors
supported by the vehicle have run
and performed their diagnostic
testing, and no trouble codes are
present. All Monitor icons will be
solid.
„ Yellow LED - Indicates one of the
following conditions:
A. A PENDING CODE IS PRESENT –
If the yellow LED is illuminated, it
may indicate a Pending code is
present. Check the Code Reader’s
display for confirmation. A Pending
code is confirmed by the presence
of a numeric code and the word
“Pending” in the code type.
B. MONITOR NOT RUN STATUS – If
the Code Reader’s display shows a
zero (indicating there are no DTC’s
present in the vehicle’s computer
memory), but the yellow LED is
illuminated, it may be an indication
that some of the Monitors supported
by the vehicle have not yet run and
completed their diagnostic testing.
Check the Code Reader’s display
for confirmation. All Monitor icons
that are blinking have not yet run
and completed their diagnostic
testing; all Monitor icons that are
solid have run and completed their
diagnostic testing.
„ Red LED – Indicates there is a
problem with one or more of the
vehicle’s systems. The red LED is
also used to indicate that DTC(s)
are present (displayed on the Code
Reader’s screen). In this case, the
Malfunction Indicator (Check Engine)
lamp on the vehicle’s instrument
panel will be illuminated.
„ DTC’s that start with “P0”, “P2” and some “P3” are
considered Generic (Universal). All Generic DTC definitions
are the same on all OBD2 equipped vehicles. The Code
Reader automatically displays the code definitions (if
available) for Generic DTC’s.

18
Using the Code Reader
CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE

„ DTC’s that start with “P1” and some


“P3” are Manufacturer specific codes
and their code definitions vary with
each vehicle manufacturer. When a
Manufacturer specific DTC is
retrieved, the LCD display shows a
list of vehicle manufacturers. Use the
DOWN button, as necessary, to
highlight the appropriate manufac-
turer, then press the ENTER button to display the correct
code definition for your vehicle. A confirmation message shows on
the Code Reader’s display.
- If the correct manufacturer is
shown, use the DOWN button,
as necessary, to highlight Yes,
then press the ENTER button.
- If the correct manufacturer is not
shown, use the DOWN button,
as necessary, to highlight No,
then press the ENTER button
to return to the list of manufacturers.
If the manufacturer for your vehicle is not shown, select
Previous Page or Next Page and press the ENTER
button to view other pages of the list.
10. If more than one DTC was retrieved, and to view Freeze Frame
Data, press and release the DTC/FF button, as necessary.
„ Each time the DTC/FF button is
pressed and released, the Code
Reader will scroll and display the
next DTC in sequence until all DTCs
in its memory have displayed.
„ Freeze Frame Data (if available) will
display after DTC #1
If more than one malfunction is present that causes more than
one DTC to be set, only the code with the highest priority will
contain Freeze Frame data. The code designated “01” on the
Code Reader display is referred to as the PRIORITY code,
and Freeze Frame data always refers to this code. The priority
code is also the one that has commanded the MIL on.
11. When the last retrieved DTC has been displayed and the DTC/FF
button is pressed, the Code Reader returns to the “Priority” Code.
12. Determine engine system(s) condition by viewing the Code Reader’s
display for any retrieved Diagnostic Trouble Codes, code definitions and
Freeze Frame data, and interpreting the green, yellow and red LEDs.

Using the Code Reader
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)

„ If DTC’s were retrieved and you are going to perform the repairs
yourself, proceed by consulting the Vehicle’s Service Repair
Manual for testing instructions, testing procedures, and flow
charts related to retrieved code(s).

ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)


When the Code Reader’s ERASE function is used to erase
the DTCs from the vehicle's on-board computer, "Freeze
Frame" data and manufacturer-specific enhanced data are
also erased. Unlike other codes which can be removed
from the vehicle's control module, PERMANENT codes
cannot. This holds true regardless of the tool being used
or color of the status LED display. PERMANENT codes
will automatically erase when the control module no
longer detects the fault that originally caused the code.
If you plan to take the vehicle to a Service Center for repair, DO NOT
erase the codes from the vehicle's computer. If the codes are erased,
valuable information that might help the technician troubleshoot the
problem will also be erased.
Erase DTCs from the computer's memory as follows:
When DTCs are erased from the vehicle's computer memory,
the I/M Readiness Monitor Status program resets status of all
the Monitors to a not run "flashing" condition. To set all of the
Monitors to a DONE status, an OBD2 Drive Cycle must be
performed. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for
information on how to perform an OBD2 Drive Cycle for the
vehicle under test.
1. If not connected already, connect the
Code Reader to the vehicle's DLC. (If
the Code Reader is already connected
and linked to the vehicle's computer,
proceed directly to step 4. If not,
continue to step 2.)
2. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT start the
engine. The Code Reader will
automatically link to the vehicle’s
computer.
3. Once codes have been retrieved, press
and release the Code Reader’s ERASE
button. A confirmation message
shows on the display.
„ If you change your mind and do not
wish to erase the codes, use the
DOWN button, as necessary, to
highlight No, then press the ENTER
button.
„ If you wish to continue, use the
DOWN button, as necessary, to
highlight Yes, then press the
ENTER button.

20
Using the Code Reader
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)

4. A “One moment please…” message


displays while the erase function is in
progress.

„ If the engine is running, an advisory


dialog displays. Turn the engine off,
place the ignition in the ON position,
then press the ERASE button
to continue.

„ If the erase was successful, a


confirmation message shows on the
display. The Tool will relink to the
vehicle and display the DTC screen.

„ If the erase was not successful and


ECU error code $22 is present, an
advisory message shows on the
display. Start the engine, hold
vehicle speed at 0, then press the
ERASE button to continue.
„ If the erase was not successful and
ECU error code $22 is not present,
an advisory message shows on the
display. Verify that the Code Reader
is properly connected to the
vehicle’s DLC and that the ignition is
on, then press the ERASE
button to continue.
Erasing DTCs does not fix the
problem(s) that caused the code(s)
to be set. If proper repairs to
correct the problem that caused
the code(s) to be set are not made,
the code(s) will appear again (and
the check engine light will
illuminate) as soon as the vehicle
is driven long enough for its
Monitors to complete their testing.
