Inspection Procedure

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, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1. CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0505) 
   1. Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool ON.
