Read DTCs
If any DTC codes are present in the system, a screen will be displayed informing you

codes are generated according to the vehicle and system manufacturer.
The fault number is displayed first, followed by the DTC code. If the description text
is too long to fit on the display, '[...]' appears in the bottom right corner of the screen.
This indicates that the text can be scrolled using the and keys to view the rest
of the description.
To view the next DTC (if more than 1 was found), scroll to the end of the text and press
the key.
To return to the menu, scroll to the end of the text and press the key.

the option you will be prompted to turn the ignition off. Wait until prompted before
switching the ignition back on.
Verify that the code(s) have been cleared by selecting 'Read DTCs'.
