Codes Cleared
This should also turn off the "Check Engine" light on the dashboard and
clear the freeze data. If the display stays blank, the vehicle is not
responding to the clear command.
DECODING DTCs
The DTCs vary from vehicle to vehicle and you will need to find the
definitions for your vehicle.
An excellent way to do this is to use a good search engine on the
internet. Use "Trouble Codes" as the search words. You can add your
make of vehicle to narrow the search. Using the actual DTC in the
search could bring up a lot of information on the problem if it is a
common failure.
A good web site to try is: http://www.troublecodes.net/ .
Another way to find the trouble code meaning and also information on
what might be causing the problem is to do a search on the trouble code
and the type of vehicle. For instance searching for P0440 Ford will
return not only the code definition, but also information on the cause and
cure.
When you find a list of codes for your vehicle, it would be a good idea
to print them out and keep them in the glove box for future reference. It
is comforting when you are on a trip and the "Check Engine" light
comes on to be able to read the code and determine if it is a critical
problem or not.
The shop manuals for your vehicle will also contain the information for
the trouble codes.
TRIP
The trip button allows information about the current trip, the trips for
today and trips for a previous day to be obtained or monitored. Also,
information about fuel, distance and time since the last fill-up and
remaining fuel, distance and time on the current tank of fuel is tracked
and displayed. The following information can be displayed:
