Diagnosis - Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Memory

Preparation for DTC Readout
Diagnostic module (OBD II, N59/1) uses two different plug connectors for DTC readout:
a) 16-pole diagnostic module (OBD II) generic scan tool connector (X11/22) using a generic scan tool (see connection diagram),
b) 38-pole data link connector (X11/4) using the HHT (see section 0).

DTC readout using the impulse counter scan tool or via the LED pushbutton switch has been eliminated.

During DTC readout, the CHECK ENGINE MIL stays on continuously.

Notes Regarding Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's)

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.

Notes Regarding DTC Readout Using Generic Scan Tool
In case of DTC and , the exact cause of the fault in oxygen sensor 1 (O2S 1) can be read via "MODE 5" with the generic scan tool. To do so, the following codes must be entered in the generic scan tool:
DTC : Code JD 4A HEX
DTC : Code JD 7E HEX
