Read Codes
The Read Codes function retrieves Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the
vehicle’s computer module(s). This function can be performed with the KOEO
or KOER. These codes cause the computer to illuminate the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) when an emission-related or driveability fault occurs. The
MIL is also known as the “service engine soon” or “check engine” lamp.
Import Enhanced Read Codes reads DTC’s from modules.
Not all Import vehicles support DTC status. For a description of these screens,
refer to the Global OBDII section of the manual.
•History Codes — codes placed in the vehicle’s memory when the trouble
originally occurred, and will remain there even if the trouble has been cor-
rected. If no trouble after 50 engine warm-up cycles, the DTC will be erased.
•Current Codes — codes transmitted through the PCM’s data stream when
a trouble condition is active and cannot be erased. The problem must be
repaired to remove the DTC.
