CHECK DTC
DTCs which are stored in the ECM can be displayed with the intelligent tester and generic OBD scan tool.
These scan tools can display pending DTCs and current DTCs. Some DTC are not stored if the ECM does not detect a malfunction during consecutive driving cycles. However, the detected malfunction during one driving cycle is stored as a pending DTC.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC / Current (or Pending).
Confirm the DTCs and freeze frame data and then write them down.

Note
When simulating a symptom with the scan tool to check the DTCs, use normal mode. For DTCs in the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart, which are subject to 2-trip detection logic, perform the following actions.
Turn the ignition switch off after the symptom is simulated once. Then repeat the simulation process again. When the problem has been simulated twice, the MIL illuminates and the DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
CLEAR DTC
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the tester on.
