Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
KOEO & KOER Self-Tests
These DTCs indicate faults are present at time of testing. A hard fault may cause Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate and remain illuminated until fault is repaired. The MIL is located on instrument cluster and may be labeled SERVICE ENGINE SOON or CHECK ENGINE. If KOEO or KOER DTCs are retrieved during KOEO ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST or KOER ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST, see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS to find appropriate system test to perform.
