Using Flash Code Method

  1. Ground pin "H" to pin "A" of Data Link Connector (DLC). See Fig 1 . DLC is located under left side of instrument panel, to right of parking brake. Turn ignition switch to RUN position (engine off). Diagnostic display mode will remain enabled as long as pin "H" is grounded, serial data link communications has not been initiated and vehicle speed is less than 5 MPH.
  2. About 4 seconds after DLC pin "H" is grounded, EBCM or EBTCM will begin flashing code sequence. Sequence will begin with Code 12, signaling beginning of fault code display. Each stored code will be displayed 3 times. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) table. After all codes have been displayed, sequence will repeat starting with Code 12. Some codes can only be read through DLC using Tech 1 scan tester. Using Tech 1 Scan Tester Connect Tech 1 scan tester to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located under left side of instrument panel, to right of parking brake. Follow scan tester manufacturer's instructions to retrieve stored fault codes. If multiple codes are displayed, begin diagnosis with code that is displayed first. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) table. Diagnose all codes in the order displayed by Tech 1 scan tester.
