Diagnostic Test

  1. ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    Diagnose and repair any CAN bus, communication or implausible signal DTCs before proceeding with this test.

    NOTE:

    Diagnose and repair any system voltage or sensor supply voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.

    NOTE:

    Make sure the A/C refrigerant System is properly charged in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS .

    1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
      WARNING:

      When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in possible serious or fatal injury.

    2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Is the DTC Active at this time?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2.
