Turn ignition on. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will be indicated by a series of long and short flashes on MIL. The number of long flashes indicates the number in the 10s column. The number of short flashes indicates the number in the 1s column. For example, 4 long flashes followed by 3 short flashes would indicate DTC 43. See appropriate DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION table and proceed to appropriate DTC testing.
