KOEO Procedure
✓
In the KOEO Procedure, Field Service can check relays, solenoids
and the idle speed motor, and obtain DTCs using the CHECK
ENGINE light.
1) Turn ignition key on but do not start engine.
2) On Scan Tool, place Field Service On.
3) The CHECK ENGINE light begins to flash codes. Each DTC is
displayed three (3) times. The DTCs are displayed starting with
the lowest numbered one. After all DTCs are displayed, the
5
sequence keeps repeating until the ignition key or Field Service
mode is turned OFF.
❒
Count the number of times the CHECK ENGINE light flashes to
obtain DTCs. The first digit is sent first. A short pause sepa-
rates digits while a long pause separates each DTC. All codes
contain 2 digits.
❒
DTC 12 (No RPM reference pulse) should display first since
the engine is not running. If not, problems exist in the PCM or
CHECK ENGINE light circuitry.
Code 12 will look like:
FLASH-pause-FLASH-FLASH — long pause.
Code 23 will look like:
FLASH-FLASH-pause-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH — long pause.
