5.2.2 Read Codes
Read Codes menu lets you read trouble codes found in the control unit.
Typical code status include:
●
Present/Permanent/Current Codes
●
Pending Codes
● History Codes
Present/Permanent/Current codes stored in a control module are used to help identify the cause of a
trouble or troubles with a vehicle. These codes have occurred a specific number of times and indicate
a problem that requires repair.
Pending codes are also referred to as maturing codes that indicate intermittent faults. If the fault does
not occur within a certain number of drive cycles (depending on vehicle), the code clears from
memory. If a fault occurs a specific number of times, the code matures into a DTC and the MIL
illuminates or blinks.
History codes are also referred to as past codes that indicate intermittent DTCs that are not currently
active.
To read codes from a vehicle:
1. Scroll with the arrow keys to highlight Read Codes from Function Menu and press the ENTER key.
A code list including code number and its description displays.
