Diagnosis - Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Memory

Preparation for recalling diagnostic trouble code (DTC) memory
1. Connect impulse counter scan tool and adaptor for impulse counter to test connection for diagnosis (X11/4) according to connection diagram (see section 0).
Note:
Connect impulse counter scan tool as follows:
red wire to socket 16,
black wire to socket 1 and
yellow wire to:

Diagnostic module socket 3
Engine control module socket 8
EA/CC/ISC control module socket 14


2. Recall control modules' diagnostic trouble code memory and clear stored trouble codes (see section 0).

Note
The retained diagnostic trouble code (DTC) memory feature of the diagnostic module has been replaced with DTC memory which is cleared after disconnecting the vehicle's battery (DM voltage supply).
In addition, the DTC readout "1" (no malfunction in system) does not appear after clearing the DTC memory (disconnecting the vehicle's battery). DTC readout "1" only reappears during the vehicle's subsequent trip after the diagnostic module has confirmed that all monitored systems and their respective components are ok
(no malfunctions).
