STAR Test Mode (EEC-IV, MECS and MCU Vehicles)
The STAR Test Mode can be used to retrieve DTCs from the PCM
or other self-test automatic readout (STAR) compatible controllers
installed in the vehicle. STAR Test Mode functions largely the
same way and serves the same purpose as running KOEO and
KOER tests. It is generally used as a last resort to check for DTCs
in systems which may not be covered by KOEO and KOER testing
(i.e. - Computer Ride Control suspension systems).
From the On Demand Test Menu:
1. Select STAR Test Mode.
•Use the
arrow keys until STAR Test
Mode is highlighted.
•Press
2. Follow the instructions on
the Scan Tool screen to
access DTCs from the PCM.
•Pressing

indicates the state of the self-test
input (STI). The
toggles this state from TEST to
HOLD.
