Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes

NOTE: DTCs 41-45 will only set while in Body Control Module (BCM) diagnostic mode and a button on remote keyless entry system transmitter is pressed. Codes are used to determine performance of Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system transmitter and receiver in BCM.
  1. Turn ignition switch to RUN position to disarm theft deterrent system (if equipped). Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Remove RADIO fuse No. 17 (25-amp) from instrument panel fuse block. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS  .
  2. Turn ignition switch to ACC position. Chime will sound 2 times to verify system has entered programming mode for customizing special features. Within 5 seconds, turn ignition switch to OFF position, then back to ACC position. Chime will sound 3 times to verify diagnostic mode has now been entered.
  3. BCM will begin to flash codes on SECURITY indicator light 4 seconds after entering diagnostic mode. Each flash of indicator represents a number (i.e., one flash followed by 2 quick flashes represents DTC 12). DTC 12 will always be the first code displayed, indicating diagnostic mode is at beginning of code display. Last code to be displayed will be DTC 55 followed by hardware configuration, then software configuration. Each code is displayed 3 times before next code is displayed.
  4. If more than one code is present, codes will display in numerical order. Codes will cycle sequentially until diagnostic mode is exited.
