Checking the status

Read off the diagnostic status and fault status for the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) by selecting the relevant diagnostic trouble code (DTC) from the list.

Increase the engine speed a number of times until the diagnostic is "Complete".

Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent. Read off the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) fault status when the diagnostic status is "Completed".

HINT: In some cases several functions of the component will be diagnosed. This affects the amount of time taken to run the diagnostic. 

The fault is permanent if the fault status is "Fault found". If the fault status is "No fault found" the fault is intermittent and not presently active.
