Diagnosis - Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Memory

Notes regarding Diagnostic trouble Code Memory

To each fault (short circuit, open circuit etc) a certain numerical code has been assigned, i.e. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
Additionally, current and intermittently appearing DTC's are differentiated from each other.
When retrieving DTC's from the A/C pushbutton control module, short circuits and open circuits can not be differentiated from each other in every case.
When reading out the DTC memory from any control module, all stored DTC's are shown, which means that some DTCs will be shown which do not apply to the current system being checked.

Prerequisite for reading out DTC Memory
