Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes

  1. Turn ignition off. Press MEMO button and both position buttons on DPMS switch simultaneously and hold down. Turn ignition on, wait at least one second then release all buttons.
  2. If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored, position setting button LEDs will only blink one 3-second long blink. If DTCs are stored, first digit of DTC is indicated by one second blinks.
  3. Second digit of DTC is indicated by short (0.26 second) blinks. Each DTC is followed by a 3 second pause before any other DTCs are displayed. Record all DTCs and see appropriate flow chart to locate cause of problem. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS table.
NOTE: See the TROUBLE SHOOTING FLOW CHART DIRECTORY  for location of individual Flow Charts.
