Diagnosis of computerized engine control system should be performed in following order:
- Ensure all engine systems not related to computer system are operating properly. DO NOT proceed with testing unless all other problems have been repaired. ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK must be performed before using trouble code charts. See appropriate OBD SYSTEM CHECK procedure in ADDITIONAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS .
- If DTC(s) were displayed, determine whether codes are hard or intermittent trouble codes. Hard codes will cause MIL to illuminate continuously while engine is running. For diagnosing hard codes, proceed to appropriate DTC test.
- After necessary repairs are made, clear DTCs, verify vehicle will enter "closed loop" operation and ensure DTC does not reset.
