Toyota Corolla Repair Manual: Dtc check/clear
Notice
:
- if there is no dtc in the normal mode, check the pending fault code using the continuous test results function (mode 7 for sae j1979) on the obd ii scan tool or the hand–held tester.
- Hand–held tester only: when the diagnosis system is switched from the normal mode to the check mode, all the dtcs and freeze frame data recorded in the normal mode will be erased. So before switching modes, always check the dtcs and freeze frame data, and then write them down.
1. Check dtc (using the obd ii scan tool or hand–held tester)
- Connect the obd ii scan tool or hand–held tester to the dlc3.
