How to Read DTC and 1st Trip DTC
DTCs and 1st trip DTCs related to the malfunction are displayed in "Self-diag results" mode with CONSULT. "TIME" indicates the number of driving the vehicle after the last detection of DTC.
- When ECM has detected a current DTC, "0" is displayed for "TIME".
- When ECM memorizes a 1st trip DTC, "1t" is displayed for "TIME".
- If "TIME" is neither "0" nor "1t", the DTC occurred in the past.
