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.
Retrieving Codes
Fault codes are retrieved from powertrain control system through Data Link Connector (DLC). See Fig 1 . DLC is located under left side of instrument panel, right side of steering column. Self-diagnostic test procedures are for use with Rotunda Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS), New Generation Star (NGS) scan tool or equivalent. If a generic scan tool is used, ensure scan tool is certified to OBD-II standard. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions. Go to READING CODES .
