BATTERY LOAD TEST
1. Check the battery for obvious damage, such as a
cracked or broken case or cover, which could permit
the loss of electrolyte. If obvious damage is noted, re-
place the battery.
Caution: Do not charge the battery if the hydrometer
is clear or light yellow. Instead, replace the battery. If
the battery feels hot or if violent gassing or spewing
of electrolyte through the vent hole occurs, discontin-
ue charging or reduce the charging rate to avoid inju-
ry.
2. Check the hydrometer. If the green dot is visible, go to
the load test procedure. If the indicator is dark but
green is not visible, charge the battery. For charging a
battery removed from the vehicle, refer to “Charging a
Completely Discharged Battery” in this section.
3. Connect a voltmeter and a battery load tester across
the battery terminals.
4. Apply a 300-ampere load for 15 seconds to remove
any surface charge from the battery.
5. Remove the load.
6. Wait 15 seconds to let the battery recover, and apply
a 270-ampere load.
Important: The battery temperature must be estimated
by touch and by the temperature condition the battery
has been exposed to for the preceding few hours.
7. If the voltage does not drop below the minimum
listed, the battery is good and should be reinstalled. If
the voltage is less than the minimum listed, replace
the battery. Refer to “Battery Specifications” in this
section.
GENERATOR OUTPUT TEST
1. Perform the generator system test. Refer to “Gener-
ator System Check” in this section.
2. Replace the generator if it fails that test. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section. If it
passes the test, perform the on-vehicle output
check which follows.
Important: Always check the generator for output be-
fore assuming that a grounded “L” terminal circuit has
damaged the regulator.
3. Attach a digital multimeter (a), an ammeter (b), and
a carbon pile load (c) to the battery (d) and the gen-
erator (e) of the rehicle.
D102E301
Important: Be sure the vehicle battery is fully charged,
and the carbon pile load is turned off.
4. With the ignition switch in the OFF position, check
and record the battery voltage.
5. Remove the harness connector from the generator.
6. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position with the
engine not running. Use a digital multimeter to
check for voltage in the harness connector “L” termi-
nal.
7. The reading should be near the specified battery
voltage of 12 volts. If the voltage is too low, check
the indicator “L” terminal circuits for open and
grounded circuits causing voltage loss. Correct any
open wires, terminal connections, etc., as neces-
sary. Refer to “Charging System” in this section.
8. Attach the generator harness connector.
9. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure the
voltage across the battery terminals. The reading
should be above that recorded in Step 4 but less
than 15 volts. If the reading is over 15 volts or below
the previous reading, replace the generator. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section.
10. Run the engine at a moderate idle, and measure the
generator amperage output.
11. Turn on the carbon pile, and adjust it to obtain the
maximum amps while maintaining the battery volt-
age above 13 volts.
12. If the reading is within 15 amps of the generator’s
rating noted on the generator, the generator is good.
If not, replace the generator. Refer to “Generator”
in the On-Vehicle Service section.
13. With the generator operating at the maximum out-
put, measure the voltage between the generator
housing and the battery negative terminal. The volt-
age drop should be 0.5 volt or less. If the voltage
drop is more than 0.5 volt, check the ground path
from the generator housing to the negative battery
cable.
14. Check, clean, tighten, and recheck all of the ground
connections.

GENERATOR SYSTEM CHECK
When operating normally, the generator indicator lamp
will come on when the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion and go out when the engine starts. If the lamp oper-
ates abnormally or if an undercharged or overcharged
battery condition occurs, the following procedure may
be used to diagnose the charging system. Remember
that an undercharged battery is often caused by acces-
sories being left on overnight or by a defective switch
that allows a lamp, such as a trunk or glove box lamp, to
stay on.
Diagnose the generator with the following procedure:
1. Visually check the belt and wiring.
2. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the en-
gine stopped, the charge indicator lamp should be on.
If not, detach the harness at the generator and
ground the ‘‘L’’ terminal in the harness with a fused,
5-ampere jumper lead.
If the lamp lights, replace the generator. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section.

If the lamp does not light, locate the open circuit
between the ignition switch and the harness con-
nector. The indicator lamp bulb may be burned out.
3. With the ignition switch in the ON position and the en-
gine running at moderate speed, the charge indicator
lamp should be off. If not, detach the wiring harness
at the generator.

If the lamp goes off, replace the generator. Refer to
“Generator” in the On-Vehicle Service section.

If the lamp stays on, check for a short to ground in
the harness between the connector and the indica-
tor lamp.
Important: Always check the generator for output be-
fore assuming that a grounded ‘‘L’’ terminal circuit has
damaged the regulator. Refer to “Generator” in the Unit
Repair section.

1F–4 ENGINE CONTROLS
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION
This ignition system does not use a conventional distrib-
utor and coil. It uses a crankshaft position sensor input
to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM then de-
termines Electronic Spark Timing (EST) and triggers the
electronic ignition system ignition coil.
This type of distributorless ignition system uses a “waste
spark’’ method of spark distribution. Each cylinder is in-
dividural with coil per cylinder.
These systems use the EST signal from the ECM to
control the EST. The ECM uses the following informa-
tion:

Engine load (manifold pressure or vacuum).

Atmospheric (barometric) pressure.

Engine temperature.

Intake air temperature.

Crankshaft position.

Engine speed (rpm).
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
IGNITION COIL
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system ignition coil is
mounted near on the cylinder head.
A terminals of the EI system ignition coil provides the
spark for each spark plug. The EI system ignition coil is
not serviceable and must be replaced as an assembly.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
This Electronic Ignition (EI) system uses a magnetic
crankshaft position sensor. This sensor protrudes
through its mount to within approximately 1.3 mm (0.05
inch) of the crankshaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special
wheel attached to the crankshaft with 58 slots machined
into it, 57 of which are equally spaced in 6-degree inter-
vals. The last slot is wider and serves to generate a
“sync pulse.” As the crankshaft rotates, the slots in the
reluctor change the magnetic field of the sensor, creat-
ing an induced voltage pulse. The longer pulse of the
58th slot identifies a specific orientation of the crank-
shaft and allows the Engine Control Module (ECM) to
determine the crankshaft orientation at all times. The
ECM uses this information to generate timed ignition
and injection pulses that it sends to the ignition coils and
to the fuel injectors.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP sig-
nal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM uses
this signal as a “sync pulse” to trigger the injectors in the
proper sequence. The ECM uses the CMP signal to indi-
cate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke.
This allows the ECM to calculate true sequential fuel in-jection mode of operation. If the ECM detects an incor-
rect CMP signal while the engine is running, Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) P0341 will set. If the CMP signal is
lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system
will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode
based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the en-
gine can be restarted. It will run in the calculated se-
quential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector
sequence being correct.
IDLE AIR SYSTEM OPERATION
The idle air system operation is controlled by the base
idle setting of the throttle body and the Idle Air Control
(IAC) valve.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the IAC valve to
set the idle speed dependent on conditions. The ECM
uses information from various inputs, such as coolant
temperature, manifold vacuum, etc., for the effective
control of the idle speed.
FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
The function of the fuel metering system is to deliver the
correct amount of fuel to the engine under all operating
conditions. The fuel is delivered to the engine by the in-
dividual fuel injectors mounted into the intake manifold
near each cylinder.
The main fuel control sensors are the Manifold Absolute
Pressure (MAP) sensor, the oxygen sensor (O2S), and
the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
The MAP sensor measures or senses the intake man-
ifold vacuum. Under high fuel demands, the MAP sensor
reads a low vacuum condition, such as wide open
throttle. The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses this in-
formation to enrich the mixture, thus increasing the fuel
injector on-time, to provide the correct amount of fuel.
When decelerating, the vacuum increases. This vacuum
change is sensed by the MAP sensor and read by the
ECM, which then decreases the fuel injector on-time
due to the low fuel demand conditions.
The O2S is located in the exhaust manifold. The HO2S
is located in the exhaust pipe. The oxygen sensors indi-
cate to the ECM the amount of oxygen in the exhaust
gas, and the ECM changes the air/fuel ratio to the en-
gine by controlling the fuel injectors. The best air/fuel ra-
tio to minimize exhaust emissions is 14.7:1, which
allows the catalytic converter to operate most efficiently.
Because of the constant measuring and adjusting of the
air/fuel ratio, the fuel injection system is called a “closed
loop” system.
The ECM uses voltage inputs from several sensors to
determine how much fuel to provide to the engine. The

1F–8 ENGINE CONTROLS
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
tions. With the ignition ON and the engine not running,
the Engine Control Module (ECM) will read the manifold
pressure as barometric pressure and adjust the air/fuel
ratio accordingly. This compensation for altitude allows
the system to maintain driving performance while hold-
ing emissions low. The barometric function will update
periodically during steady driving or under a wide open
throttle condition. In the case of a fault in the barometric
portion of the MAP sensor, the ECM will set to the de-
fault value.
A failure in the MAP sensor circuit sets a diagnostic
trouble codes P0107, P0108 or P0106.
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
The Engine Control Module (ECM), is the control center
of the fuel injection system. It constantly looks at the in-
formation from various sensors and controls the sys-
tems that affect the vehicle’s performance. The ECM
also performs the diagnostic functions of the system. It
can recognize operational problems, alert the driver
through the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), and store
diagnostic trouble code(s) which identify the problem
areas to aid the technician in making repairs.
There are no serviceable parts in the ECM. The calibra-
tions are stored in the ECM in the Programmable Read
Only Memory (PROM).
The ECM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power the sen-
sors or switches. This is done through resistance in the
ECM which are so high in value that a test light will not
come on when connected to the circuit. In some cases,
even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accu-
rate reading because its resistance is too low. You must
use a digital voltmeter with a 10 megohm input imped-
ance to get accurate voltage readings. The ECM con-
trols output circuits such as the fuel injectors, the Idle Air
Control (IAC) valve, the A/C clutch relay, etc., by control-
ling the ground circuit through transistors or a device
called a “quad-driver.”
FUEL INJECTOR
The Multi-port Fuel Injection (MFI) assembly is a sole-
noid-operated device controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM) that meters pressurized fuel to a single
engine cylinder. The ECM energizes the fuel injector or
solenoid to a normally closed ball or pintle valve. This al-
lows fuel to flow into the top of the injector, past the ball
or pintle valve, and through a recessed flow director
plate at the injector outlet.
The director plate has six machined holes that control
the fuel flow, generating a conical spray pattern of finely
atomized fuel at the injector tip. Fuel from the tip is di-
rected at the intake valve, causing it to become further
atomized and vaporized before entering the combustion
chamber. A fuel injector which is stuck partially open
would cause a loss of fuel pressure after the engine is
shut down. Also, an extended crank time would be no-
ticed on some engines. Dieseling could also occur be-cause some fuel could be delivered to the engine after
the ignition is turned off.
FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
The fuel cutoff switch is a safety device. In the event of a
collision or a sudden impact, it automatically cuts off the
fuel supply and activates the door lock relay. After the
switch has been activated, it must be reset in order to
restart the engine. Reset the fuel cutoff switch by press-
ing the rubber top of the switch. The switch is located
near the right side of the passenger’s seat.
KNOCK SENSOR
The knock sensor detects abnormal knocking in the en-
gine. The sensor is mounted in the engine block near the
cylinders. The sensor produces an AC output voltage
which increases with the severity of the knock. This sig-
nal is sent to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The
ECM then adjusts the ignition timing to reduce the spark
knock.
VARIABLE RELUCTANCE (VR)
SENSOR
The variable reluctance sensor is commonly refered to
as an “inductive” sensor.
The VR wheel speed sensor consists of a sensing unit
fixed to the left side front macpherson strut, for non-ABS
vehicle.
The ECM uses the rough road information to enable or
disable the misfire diagnostic. The misfire diagnostic
can be greatly affected by crankshaft speed variations
caused by driving on rough road surfaces. The VR sen-
sor generates rough road information by producing a
signal which is proportional to the movement of a small
metal bar inside the sensor.
If a fault occurs which causes the ECM to not receive
rough road information between 30 and 70 km/h (1.8
and 43.5 mph), Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1391
will set.
OCTANE NUMBER CONNECTOR
The octane number connector is a jumper harness that
signal to the engine control module (ECM) the octane
rating of the fuel.
The connector is located on the next to the ECM. There
are two different octane number connector settings
available. The vehicle is shipped from the factory with a
label attached to the jumper harness to indicate the oc-
tane rating setting of the ECM. The ECM will alter fuel
delivery and spark timing based on the octane number
setting. The following table shows which terminal to
jump on the octane number connector in order to
achieve the correct fuel octane rating. Terminal 2 is
ground on the octane number connector. The find the

Strategy-Based Diagnostics

repair all Electrical/Electronic (E/E) systems. The diag-
nostic flow can always be used to resolve an E/E system
problem and is a starting point when repairs are neces-
sary. The following steps will instruct the technician on
how to proceed with a diagnosis:
Verify the customer complaint. To verify the customer
complaint, the technician should know the normal op-
eration of the system.

Perform preliminary checks as follows:

Conduct a thorough visual inspection.

Review the service history.

Detect unusual sounds or odors.

Gather Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) information to
achieve an effective repair.

Check bulletins and other service information. This
includes videos, newsletters, etc.

Refer to service information (manual) system
check(s).

Refer to service diagnostics.
No Trouble Found
This condition exists when the vehicle is found to oper-
ate normally. The condition described by the customer
may be normal. Verify the customer complaint against
another vehicle that is operating normally. The condition
may be intermittent. Verify the complaint under the con-
ditions described by the customer before releasing the
vehicle.
Re-examine the complaints.
When the complaints cannot be successfully found or
isolated, a re-evaluation is necessary. The complaint
should be re-verified and could be intermittent as de-
fined in “intermittents,” or could be normal.
After isolating the cause, the repairs should be made.
Validate for proper operation and verify that the symp-
tom has been corrected. This may involve road testing
or other methods to verify that the complaint has re-
solved under following conditions:

Conditions noted by the customer.

If a DTC was diagnosed, verify the repair be duplicat-
ing conditions present when the DTC was set as
noted in Failure Records or Freeze Frame data.
Verifying Vehicle Repair
Verification of the vehicle repair will be more compre-
hensive for vehicles with Euro On-Board Diagnostic
(EOBD) system diagnostics. Following a repair, the
technician should perform the following steps:
Important: Follow the steps below when you verify re-
pairs on EOBD systems. Failure to follow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.

Review and record the Failure Records and the
Freeze Frame data for the DTC which has been diag-
nosed (Freeze Fame data will only be stored for an A,
B and E type diagnostic and only if the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp has been requested).

Clear the DTC(s).

Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the
Failure Records and Freeze Frame data.

Monitor the DTC status information for the specific
DTC which has been diagnosed until the diagnostic
test associated with that DTC runs.
EOBD SERVICEABILITY ISSUES
Based on the knowledge gained from Euro On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD) experience in the 1994 and 1995
model years in United Status, this list of non-vehicle
faults that could affect the performance of the Euro On-
Board Diagnostic (EOBD) system has been compiled.
These non-vehicle faults vary from environmental condi-
tions to the quality of fuel used. With the introduction of
EOBD across the entire passenger car, illumination of
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) due to a non-ve-
hicle fault could lead to misdiagnosis of the vehicle, in-
creased warranty expense and customer
dissatisfaction. The following list of non-vehicle faults
does not include every possible fault and may not apply
equally to all product lines.
Fuel Quality
Fuel quality is not a new issue for the automotive indus-
try, but its potential for turning on the MIL with EOBD
systems is new.
Fuel additives such as “dry gas” and “octane enhancers”
may affect the performance of the fuel. If this results in
an incomplete combustion or a partial burn, it will set
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0300. The Reed Vapor
Pressure of the fuel can also create problems in the fuel
system, especially during the spring and fall months
when severe ambient temperature swings occur. A high
Reed Vapor Pressure could show up as a Fuel Trim
DTC due to excessive canister loading.
Using fuel with the wrong octane rating for your vehicle
may cause driveability problems. Many of the major fuel
companies advertise that using “premium” gasoline will
improve the performance of your vehicle. Most premium

The enable criteria for each diagnostic is listed on the
first page of the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) descrip-
tion under the heading “Conditions for Setting the DTC.”
Enable criteria varies with each diagnostic and typically
includes, but is not limited to the following items:

Engine speed.

Vehicle speed

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)

Barometric Pressure (BARO)

Intake Air Temperature (IAT)

Throttle Position (TP)

High canister purge

Fuel trim

A/C on
Trip
Technically, a trip is a key-on run key-off cycle in which
all the enable criteria for a given diagnostic are met, al-
lowing the diagnostic to run. Unfortunately, this concept
is not quite that simple. A trip is official when all the en-
able criteria for a given diagnostic are met. But because
the enable criteria vary from one diagnostic to another,
the definition of trip varies as well. Some diagnostics are
run when the vehicle is at operating temperature, some
when the vehicle first starts up; some require that the
vehicle cruise at a steady highway speed, some run only
when the vehicle is at idle. Some run only immediately
following a cold engine start-up.
A trip then, is defined as a key-on run-key off cycle in
which the vehicle is operated in such a way as to satisfy
the enable criteria for a given diagnostic, and this diag-
nostic will consider this cycle to be one trip. However,
another diagnostic with a different set of enable criteria
(which were not met) during this driving event, would not
consider it a trip. No trip will occur for that particular
diagnostic until the vehicle is driven in such a way as to
meet all the enable criteria.
Diagnostic Information
The diagnostic charts and functional checks are de-
signed to locate a faulty circuit or component through a
process of logical decisions. The charts are prepared
with the requirement that the vehicle functioned correct-
ly at the time of assembly and that there are not multiple
faults present.
There is a continuous self-diagnosis on certain control
functions. This diagnostic capability is complimented by
the diagnostic procedures contained in this manual. The
language of communicating the source of the malfunc-
tion is a system of diagnostic trouble codes. When a
malfunction is detected by the control module, a DTC is
set, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illumi-
nated.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is required by
Euro On-Board Diagnostics (EOBD) to illuminate under
a strict set of guidelines.
Basically, the MIL is turned on when the Engine Control
Module (ECM) detects a DTC that will impact the vehicle
emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic Execu-
tive. The MIL will be turned on if an emissions-related
diagnostic test indicates a malfunction has occurred. It
will stay on until the system or component passes the
same test for three consecutive trips with no emissions
related faults.
Extinguishing the MIL
When the MIL is on, the Diagnostic Executive will turn
off the MIL after three consecutive trips that a “test
passed” has been reported for the diagnostic test that
originally caused the MIL to illuminate. Although the MIL
has been turned off, the DTC will remain in the ECM
memory (both Freeze Frame and Failure Records) until
forty (40) warm-up cycles after no faults have been com-
pleted.
If the MIL was set by either a fuel trim or misfire-related
DTC, additional requirements must be met. In addition
to the requirements stated in the previous paragraph,
these requirements are as follows:

The diagnostic tests that are passed must occur with
375 rpm of the rpm data stored at the time the last
test failed.

Plus or minus ten percent of the engine load that was
stored at the time the last test failed. Similar engine
temperature conditions (warmed up or warming up)
as those stored at the time the last test failed.
Meeting these requirements ensures that the fault which
turned on the MIL has been corrected.
The MIL is on the instrument panel and has the following
functions:

It informs the driver that a fault affecting the vehicle’s
emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.

As a system check, the MIL will come on with the key
ON and the engine not running. When the engine is
started, the MIL will turn OFF.

When the MIL remains ON while the engine is run-
ning, or when a malfunction is suspected due to a
driveability or emissions problem, an EOBD System
Check must be performed. The procedures for these
checks are given in EOBD System Check. These
checks will expose faults which may not be detected
if other diagnostics are performed first.

Data Link Connector (DLC)
The provision for communicating with the control mod-
ule is the Data Link Connector (DLC). The DLC is used
to connect to a scan tool. Some common uses of the
scan tool are listed below:

Identifying stored DTCs.

Clearing DTCs.

Performing output control tests.

Reading serial data.
DTC TYPES
Each Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is directly related
to a diagnostic test. The Diagnostic Management Sys-
tem sets DTCs based on the failure of the tests during a
trip or trips. Certain tests must fail two consecutive trips
before the DTC is set. The following are the three types
of DTCs and the characteristics of those codes:
Type A

Emissions related.

Requests illumination of the Malfunction Indicator.
Lamp (MIL) of the first trip with a fail.

Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail.

Stores a Freeze Frame (if empty).

Stores a Fail Record.

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic test
fails.
Type B

Emissions related.

“Armed” after one trip with a fail.

“Disarmed” after one trip with a pass.

Requests illumination of the MIL on the second con-
secutive trip with a fail.

Stores a History DTC on the second consecutive trip
with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the first fail).

Stores a Freeze Frame on the second consecutive
trip with a fail (if empty).
Type Cnl

Non-Emissions related.

Does not request illumination of any lamp.

Stores a History DTC on the first trip with a fail .

Does not store a Freeze Frame.

Stores Fail Record when test fails.

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic test
fails.
Type E

Emissions related.

“Armed” after two consecutive trip with a fail.

“Disarmed” after one trip with a pass.
Requests illumination of the MIL on the third consec-
utive trip with a fail.

Stores a History DTC on the third consecutive trip
with a fail (The DTC will be armed after the second
fail).

Stores a Freeze Frame on the third consecutive trip
with a fail (if empty).
Important: For 0.8 SOHC engine eight fail records can
be stored. Each Fail Record is for a different DTC. It is
possible that there will not be Fail Records for every
DTC if multiple DTCs are set.
Special Cases of Type B Diagnostic Tests
Unique to the misfire diagnostic, the Diagnostic Execu-
tive has the capability of alerting the vehicle operator to
potentially damaging levels of misfire. If a misfire condi-
tion exists that could potentially damage the catalytic
converter as a result of high misfire levels, the Diagnos-
tic Executive will command the MIL to “flash” as a rate of
once per seconds during those the time that the catalyst
damaging misfire condition is present.
Fuel trim and misfire are special cases of Type B diag-
nostics. Each time a fuel trim or misfire malfunction is
detected, engine load, engine speed, and Engine Cool-
ant Temperature (ECT) are recorded.
When the ignition is turned OFF, the last reported set of
conditions remain stored. During subsequent ignition
cycles, the stored conditions are used as a reference for
similar conditions. If a malfunction occurs during two
consecutive trips, the Diagnostic Executive treats the
failure as a normal Type B diagnostic, and does not use
the stored conditions. However, if a malfunction occurs
on two non-consecutive trips, the stored conditions are
compared with the current conditions. The MIL will then
illuminate under the following conditions:

When the engine load conditions are within 10% of
the previous test that failed.

Engine speed is within 375 rpm, of the previous test
that failed.

ECT is in the same range as the previous test that
failed.
READING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODES
The procedure for reading Diagnostic Trouble Code(s)
(DTC) is to use a diagnostic scan tool. When reading
DTC(s), follow instructions supplied by tool manufactur-
er.
Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
Important: Do not clear DTCs unless directed to do so
by the service information provided for each diagnostic
procedure. When DTCs are cleared, the Freeze Frame
