WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  • The scan tool may display 2 additional characters after the DTC. Take note of the 2 character code and any other DTCs that are set. The 2 character code is an engineering aid used in order to determine the specific criteria which caused the DTC to set.
  • During diagnosis, park the vehicle on a level surface.
  • Check the vehicle for proper alignment. The car should not pull in either direction while driving straight on a level surface.
  • Find out from the driver under what conditions the DTC was set (when the DIC displayed the Service Active Handling message). This information will help to duplicate the failure.
  • The Snapshot function on the scan tool can help find an intermittent DTC.
