Dtc check/clear
Notice:
if there is no dtc in the normal mode, check the pending
fault code using the continuous test results
function (mode 7 for sae j1979) on the obd ii scan
tool or the hand–held tester.

Hint:
read freeze frame data using the hand–held tester or the obd ii scan tool.
Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is
useful for determining whether
the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, th ...
