DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only dif-

ference from the usual troubleshooting procedure

is that you connect an OBD II scan tool complying

with SAE J1987 or hand−held tester, to the vehicle

and read off various data output from the vehicle's

OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on−

board computer lights up the Malfunction Indicator

Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the com-

puter detects a malfunction in the computer itself or

in drive system components which affect vehicle

emissions. In addition to the MIL lighting up when

a malfunction is detected, the applicable DTCs pre-

scribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM

memory (See page DI−335).

To check the DTCs, connect an OBD II scan tool or

hand−held tester to DLC3 on the vehicle. The OBD

II scan tool or hand−held tester also enables you to

erase the DTCs and check freeze frame data and

various forms of engine data (For operating instruc-

tions, see the instruction book).

DTCs include SAE controlled codes and Manufac-

turer controlled codes.

SAE controlled codes must be set as prescribed by

the SAE, while Manufacturer controlled codes can

be set freely by the manufacturer within the pre-

scribed limits (See DTC chart on page DI−693).
