KOEO Procedure

 

In the KOEO Procedure, Field Service can check relays, solenoids

 

and the idle speed motor, and obtain DTCs using the CHECK

 

ENGINE light.

 

1) Turn ignition key on but do not start engine.

 

2) On Scan Tool, place Field Service On.

 

3) The CHECK ENGINE light begins to flash codes. Each DTC is

 

displayed three (3) times. The DTCs are displayed starting with

5

the lowest numbered one. After all DTCs are displayed, the

sequence keeps repeating until the ignition key or Field Service

mode is turned OFF.

Count the number of times the CHECK ENGINE light flashes to obtain DTCs. The first digit is sent first. A short pause sepa- rates digits while a long pause separates each DTC. All codes contain 2 digits.

DTC 12 (No RPM reference pulse) should display first since the engine is not running. If not, problems exist in the PCM or CHECK ENGINE light circuitry.

Code 12 will look like:

FLASH-pause-FLASH-FLASH — long pause.

Code 23 will look like:

FLASH-FLASH-pause-FLASH-FLASH-FLASH — long pause.
