Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes
NOTE:
There are 2 Data Link Connectors (DLC1 and DLC2). DLC1 is located in engine compartment on firewall to right of center line. DLC2 is located below left side of instrument panel.
- Ensure battery voltage is at least 12 volts. Turn ignition on. The TRAC indicator light should go on for 3 seconds. Connect jumper wire between check connector terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1 or DLC2. See Fig 1.
- If TRAC system is functioning properly, TRAC light will blink 2 times per second. If a malfunction is detected, 4.5 seconds will elapse and ABS light will begin to flash a 2-digit DTC. First series of blinks indicates first digit of DTC. After a 1.5-second pause, second series of blinks indicates second digit of DTC. A 1.5-second pause separates first and second digits of DTC.
- If 2 or more DTC are stored, there will be a 2.5-second pause between each DTC. After all DTC are flashed, there will be a 4 second pause and all DTC will repeat. For code definitions, see DTC DEFINITIONS. For code testing, see DIAGNOSTIC TESTS .
- After replacing or repairing components, clear DTC. If battery cable was disconnected during repairs, all stored DTC will be erased. If battery cable was not disconnected during repairs, see CLEARING DTC.
