Error Messages

Check the following if an error message displays:
Verify ignition key is in the ON and not in the ACCES-
SORIES position.
Make sure the DLC Cable is attached to vehicle's
data link connector (DLC) and scan tool.
Look at DLC and check for cracked or recessed pins,
or for any substance that could prevent a good
electrical connection.
Test for continuity between the DLC wiring and the
computer. In an extreme case, there may be a bro-
ken wire.
Check for bent or broken pins.
With the engine off, check for blown fuses in the
vehicle fuse box.
Make sure the vehicle's control module has a good
ground. If the computer case is grounded, then
clean the connection and apply a conductive (dielec-
tric) grease to the mating surfaces.
With the key on engine off (KOEO), verify vehicle
battery voltage is at least 8.0V.
Verify the control module is not defective. Refer to
the service manual to diagnose the control module.
