Engine Control Module (ECM) Adaptions: Diagnostics
The diagnostic socket is located in the fascia, in the driver's stowage tray. The socket is secured in the fascia panel and is protected by a hinged cover.
The engine control module (ECM) stores faults as diagnostic trouble code (DTC), referred to as 'P' codes. The 'P' codes are defined by on-board diagnostic (OBD) legislation and, together with their associated environmental and freeze frame data, can be read using a third party scan tool or T4. T4 can also read real time data from each sensor, the adaptive values currently being employed and the current fueling, ignition and idle settings.
