GENERAL INFORMATION

ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES OVERVIEW

NOTICE
The diagnostic mode is accessible only when the check
engine MIL has been activated.
If there is a diagnostic problem with the power steering
system, the power steering MIL will illuminate and blink
in place of the check engine MIL.
Use the following procedure to display diagnostic trouble
codes that were activated during current ignition cycle
causing the MIL to illuminate. Error codes are not stored.
When the key is turned OFF, the code and message is
lost, but will reappear if the fault reoccurs after restarting
the engine.
If the CHECK ENGINE lamp or the EPAS lamp
illuminates, retrieve the active error codes from the
display.
1. Press and hold the MODE button to enter the settings
menu.
2. Press either toggle button to cycle to the
"DIAGCODE" option. Press MODE to select.
3. More than one diagnostic code may be present.
Press the toggle UP button to see if more codes are
present. Press MODE to select a code.
4. Record the three numbers displayed.
• The first number (located top) can be 1 to 2 digits in
length. This number equates to the fault mode
(FMI).
• The second number (located middle) can be 2 to 6
digits in length. This number equates to the
suspected area of fault (SPN).
• The third number (located bottom) can range from
0 to 9. This number represents the total number of
trouble code present (example: 2 means there are
3 codes present).
