CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE
CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE
Retrieving and using Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for
troubleshooting vehicle operation is only one part of an
overall diagnostic strategy.
Never replace a part based only on the DTC definition.
Each DTC has a set of testing procedures, instructions and
flow charts that must be followed to confirm the location
of the problem. This information is found in the vehicle’s
service manual. Always refer to the vehicle’s service manual
for detailed testing instructions.
Check your vehicle thoroughly before performing
any test. See BEFORE YOU BEGIN on page 18 for
details.
ALWAYS observe safety precautions whenever working on a
vehicle. See Safety Precautions on page 3 for more information.
1. Locate the vehicle’s Data Link Connector (DLC). See Data Link
Connector (DLC) on page 69 for connector location.
Some DLCs have a plastic cover that must be removed before
connecting the CanOBD2&1 Tool’s cable connector.
2. Connect the CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool
cable (with the Chrysler Connector
Cable Adaptor attached) to the
CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool, then connect
the adaptor to the vehicle’s DLC. Press
the POWER/LINK button to turn the
CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool ON.
� Set the parking brake, and make
sure all vehicle accessories are
turned off.
3. Turn the ignition ON. DO NOT start the
engine. Press the ENTER/LD
button to continue.
4. Select the model year of the vehicle from which you wish to retrieve
codes:
If a previous vehicle selection is currently saved in the
CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool's memory, the "Current
Selection/Select New Vehicle" menu displays. If no previous
vehicle selection is stored in the CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool's
memory, the "Select Vehicle Year" menu displays. Use the
and buttons, as necessary, to make your selection.
