Retrieving DTCs

DTCs are retrieved from EEC-V system through 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC) using appropriate scan tool. DLC is located below instrument panel, to right of steering column. Self-diagnostic test procedures are written for use with New Generation Star (NGS) tester. If an aftermarket scan tool is used, ensure scan tool is OBD-II certified. Refer to scan tool manufacturer's operating procedures. Once DTCs are recorded, diagnostic tests are used to locate and repair problem. See DIAGNOSTIC TESTS  .
