Read Codes

reading codes can be done with the key on engine off or with the key on engine running.
Stored codes are also known as "permanent codes". these codes cause the control module to illuminate the malfunction indicator light
(mIL) when emission-related fault occurs.
Pending codes are also referred to as "continuous monitor codes". they indicate problems that the control module has detected during
the current or last driving cycle but are not considered serious yet. Pending codes will not turn on the malfunction indicator lamp (mIL). If
the fault does not occur within a certain number of warm-up cycles, the code clears from memory.
1). Select (read codes) and press (enter) in diagnostic menu. If there are some codes, the screen will display the codes as shown
below:
note: there is a navigation bar in red to show the position for chosen item, also shows X/X at the top right corner to remind the user.
2) use the ScroLL button to select Stored codes or Pending codes from the read codes menu and press the enter button.
