Retrieving Codes: Voltmeter

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Mitsubishi Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To retrieve stored trouble codes, locate diagnostic connector under left side of dash. Turn ignition off. Connect analog voltmeter between diagnostic terminal and vehicle ground terminal of diagnostic connector. See Fig 1 . Turn ignition on.
Stored trouble codes will be indicated by sweeps of voltmeter needle. Long sweeps indicate first digit of code; short sweeps indicate second digit of code. If more than one fault is present, lowest number code will be given first. After trouble code has been retrieved, test indicated component and/or related circuit (if necessary). See RWAL TROUBLE CODES table and appropriate CODE under DIAGNOSTIC TESTING for servicing procedure.
