DTC Check / Clear

  1. CHECK DTC 
    1. DTCs which are stored in the TCM can be displayed with Techstream.

      These scan tools can display pending DTCs and current DTCs. Some DTCs are not stored if the TCM doesn't detect a malfunction during consecutive driving. However, the malfunction detected while a driving is stored as a pending DTC.

      1. Connect Techstream to the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3).
      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Trouble Codes.
      4. Confirm the DTCs and freeze frame data and then write them down.
      5. Confirm the details of the DTCs (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  ).
        NOTE: When a symptom has been duplicated using normal mode, use Techstream to check for DTCs. For DTCs that are subject to "2-trip detection logic", perform the following steps:
        Turn the engine switch off after the symptom has occurred once. Repeat the process of attempting to duplicate the symptom. When the problem or symptom happens for the second time and a DTC has been recorded, the MIL will illuminate, and the code will be stored.
  2. CLEAR DTC 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Trouble Codes / Clear.
