STAR Test Mode (EEC-IV, MECS and MCU Vehicles)

The STAR Test Mode can be used to retrieve DTCs from the PCM

or other self-test automatic readout (STAR) compatible controllers

installed in the vehicle. STAR Test Mode functions largely the

same way and serves the same purpose as running KOEO and

KOER tests. It is generally used as a last resort to check for DTCs

in systems which may not be covered by KOEO and KOER testing

(i.e. - Computer Ride Control suspension systems).

arrow keys until STAR Test

Mode is highlighted.

•Press

input (STI). The
