Diagnostic Trouble codes (DTc) are
error codes that appear when there
is a problem with your vehicle. If your
vehicle displays a check engine light,
DTC’s will be available to assist in
diagnosing the problem. You can use
the PowerPDA to run a vehicle system
check and display these DTc(s). A
code will be given along with a brief
description of the problem, a full
description of the code will display in
a pop up window when the code is
highlighted. You may reference your
vehicle service manual for description
and possible corrective action to fix
the problem. Once the problem has
been repaired you can clear the code
to turn the check engine light off.
Note: Keep a written record of the DTC
code(s) that display on your PowerPDA
for future reference before clearing
them.
Check for OBD II DTC
If any vehicle DTc(s) are present,
troubleshoot/repair the cause. Once
the cause is properly remedied, touch
‘Clear Codes’ and then ‘Check for
Codes’ again to verify the problem
is fixed (the ODB ll code should not
re-appear).

underlying problem to correct it.
