Retrieving Codes

Fault codes are retrieved from powertrain control system through Data Link Connector (DLC). See Fig 1. DLC is located under left side of instrument panel, right side of steering column. Self-diagnostic test procedures are for use with Rotunda Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS), New Generation Star (NGS) scan tool or equivalent. If a generic scan tool is used, ensure scan tool is certified to OBD-II standard. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions. Go to READING CODES .
