GENERAL GUIDELINES TO SOLVE FAULT CODES

Use B.U.D.S. to:
Read fault codes.
Display "Active" faults to see components currently not operating normally.
Display "Occurred" faults to troubleshoot intermittent problems.
Monitor system(s), sensor(s), switches and actual conditions.
Activate component(s) for troubleshooting.
Set components (resets etc).
Know the last minute of operating conditions by using the "History" page.
Know the operating conditions, if available, when a fault code occurred by
using the "More details" button in the fault page.
Check sensor connections or mixed up connections.
Before vehicle maintenance:
Read the electronic modules with B.U.D.S.
After vehicle maintenance:
Read the electronic modules with B.U.D.S.
Compare the fault code(s) before and after the maintenance
using the printed copy and the current B.U.D.S. reading.
Investigate only the newly fault codes.
Clear all occurred faults in B.U.D.S.
Normal behavior when flashing a module.

When a minor fault occurs:
– Turn ignition key OFF.
– Wait 30 seconds.
– Turn ignition key ON.
This should change the fault state from "Active" to
"Occurred".
The vehicle should then operate normally.
If a sensor-related fault persists, you may try
disconnecting/reconnecting the sensor.
Read the following for a general approach to trou-
bleshoot fault codes (active or occurred).
