Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes Using a
Te c h 2
The procedure for reading diagnostic trouble code(s) is
to used a diagnostic Tech 2. When reading DTC(s),
follow instructions supplied by Tech 2 manufacturer.
Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
To clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), use the
Tech 2 “clear DTCs” or “clear information” function.
When clearing DTCs follow instructions supplied by the
Tech 2 manufacturer.
Diagnosis With Tech 2
If no codes are set:
•Refer to F1: Data Display and identify the electrical
faults that are not indicated by trouble code.
• Refer to “SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS ”.
If codes are set: 1. Record all trouble codes displayed by Tech 2 and check id the codes are intermittent.
2. Clear the codes.
3. Drive the vehicle for a test to reproduce the faulty status.
4. Check trouble codes again using the Tech 2.
5. If no codes is displayed by test driving, the fault is intermittent. In this case, refer to “DIAGNOSIS
AIDS”.
6. If a code is present, refer to DTC Chart for diagnosis.
7. Check trouble codes again using the Tech 2.
Tech 2 CONNECTION
Tech 2 scan tool is used to electrically diagnose the
automatic transmission system and to check the
system. The Tech 2 enhances the diagnosis efficiency
though all the troubleshooting can be done without the
Te c h 2 . 1. Configuration of Tech 2
• Tech 2 scan tool kit (No. 7000086), Tech 2 scan tool (No. 7000057) and DLC cable (No.
3000095).
• SAE 16/19 adapter (No. 3000098) (3), RS232 loop back connector (No. 3000112) (2) and
PCMCIA card (No. 3000117) (1).
2. Tech 2 Connection
• Check the key switch is turn OFF.
• Insert the PCMCIA card (1) into the Tech 2 (5).
• Connect the SAE 16/19 adapter (3) to the DLC cable (4).
• Connect the DLC cable (4) to the Tech 2 (5).
• Connect the SAE 16/19 adapter (3) to the data link connector of the vehicle.
• Turn the key switch of the vehicle ON and press the “PWR” key of the Tech 2.
• Check the display of the Tech 2.
NOTE: Be sure to check that the power is not supplied
to the Tech 2 when attaching or removing the PCMCIA
card.

F0: Diagnostic Trouble Code
The purpose of the “Diagnostic Trouble Codes” mode is
to display stored trouble code in the ECM.
When “Clear DTC Information” is selected, a “Clear
DTC Information”, warning screen appears.
This screen informs you that by cleaning DTC's “all
stored DTC information in the ECM will be erased”.
After clearing codes, confirm system operation by test
driving the vehicle.
Use the “DTC Information” mode to search for a specific
type of stored DTC information.
History
This selection will display only DTCs that are stored in
the ECM's history memory. It will not display Type B
DTCs that have not requested the MIL (“Check Engine Lamp”). It will display all type A and B DTCs that
requested the MIL and have failed within the last 40
warm-up cycles. In addition, it will display all type C and
D DTCs that have failed within the last 40 warm-up
cycles.
MIL SVC or Message Request
This selection will display only DTCs that are requesting
the MIL. Type C and Type D DTCs cannot be displayed
using the MIL. Type C and D DTCs cannot be displayed
using this option.
This selection will report type B DTCs only after the MIL
has been requested.
Last Test Failed
This selection will display only DTCs that have failed the
last time the test run. The last test may have run during
a previous ignition cycle of a type A or type B DTC is
displayed. For type C and type D DTCs, the last failure
must have occurred during the current ignition cycle to
appear as last test fail.
Test Failed Since Code Cleared
The selection will display all active and history DTCs
that have reported a test failure since the last time
DTCs were cleared. DTCs that last failed more that 40
warm-up cycles before this option is selected will not be
displayed.
No Run Since Code Cleared
This selection will display up to DTCs that have not run
since the DTCs were last cleared. Since any displayed
DTCs have not run, their condition (passing or failing) is
unknown.
Failed This Ignition
This selection will display all DTCs that have failed
during the present ignition cycle.
F1: Data Display
The purpose of the “Data Display” mode is to
continuously monitor data parameters.
The current actual values of all important sensors and
signals in the system are display through F1 mode.
See the “Typical Scan Data” section.
F2: Snapshot
“Snapshot” allows you to focus on making the condition
occur, rather than trying to view all of the data in
anticipation of the fault.
The snapshot will collect parameter information around
a trigger point that you select.
F3: Miscellaneous Test:
The purpose of “Miscellaneous Test” mode is to check
for correct operation of electronic system actuators.

in short term fuel trim.

17 Fuel Trim Cell15 - 201 - 2 This displays dependent on engine speed and calculatedintake air flow reading. A plot of engine speed versus
intake air flow amount is divided into the cells. Fuel trim
cell indicates which cell is currently active.
18B1S1 O2 Sensor
(Bank1 Sensor 1)mV50 - 95050 -950 This displays the exhaust oxygen sensor output voltage. Should fluctuate constantly within a range between
10mV (lean exhaust) and 1000mV (rich exhaust) while
operating in closed loop.
19B1 Short Term Fuel
Trim (Bank 1)%-6 - 0-6 - 0 The short term fuel trim to a bank represents a short term correction to the bank fuel delivery by the ECM in
response to the amount of time the bank fuel control
oxygen sensor voltage spends above or below the
450mV threshold. If the oxygen sensor voltage has
mainly remained less than 450mV, indicating a lean air/
fuel, short term fuel trim will increase into the positive
range above 0% and the ECM will pass fuel. If the
oxygen sensor voltage stays mainly above the threshold,
short term fuel trim will decrease below 0% into the
negative range while the ECM reduces fuel delivery to
compensate for the indicated rich condition. Under
certain conditions such as extended idle and high
ambient temperatures, canister purge may cause short
term fuel trim to read in the negative range during normal
operation. Fuel trim values at maximum authority may
indicate an excessively rich or lean system.
20B1 Long Term Fuel
Trim (Bank 1)%-10 - 0-5 - 0 The long term fuel trim is delivered from the short term fuel term values and represents a long term correction of
fuel delivery for bank in question. A value of 0% indicates
that fuel delivery requires no compensation to maintain
the ECM commanded air fuel ratio. A negative value
indicates that the fuel system is rich and fuel delivery is
being reduced (decreased injector pulse width). A
positive value indicates that a lean condition exists and
the ECM is compensating by add fuel (increased injector
pulse width). Because long term fuel trim tends to follow
short term fuel trim, a value in the negative range due to
canister purge at idle should not be considered unusual.
Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate an
excessively rich or lean system.
21Injection Pulse Widthms3.0 - 1.03.0 - 4.0 This displays the amount of time the ECM is commanding each injector On during each engine cycle.
A longer injector pulse width will cause more fuel to be
delivered. Injector pulse width should increase with
increased engine load.
22Power EnrichmentYe s / N oNoNo The ECM provides the extra amount of fuel when it detects a rapid increase in the throttle position and air
flow (Power Enrichment). Under this condition the ECM
should detect a “rich condition (high oxygen sensor
voltage).
23Deceleration Fuel
Cutoff Active/
InactiveInactiveInactiveThe ECM reduces the amount of fuel injected when it
detects a decrease in the throttle position and the air
flow. When deceleration is very fast, the ECM may cut off
fuel completely. Until enable conditions meet the engine
revolution less than 1000rpm or MAP less than 10kPa.
24Time From Start--This displays the engine time elapsed since the engine
was started. If the engine is stopped, engine run time will
be reset to 00:00:00
