Section 3: Diagnostic Trouble Code Lookup

Code Lookup is a built-in OBD II Generic Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) database.

The database does not include manufacturer specific DTC definitions, only generic.
To look up code definitions, select Code Lookup from either the MAIN MENU or the

OBD II Function Menu, then press the ENTER key.

The OBD II System Tester will display the Code Lookup screen. When entering codes

it is only necessary to enter the last three numbers. The first two characters (P0) of

the DTC are set for OBD II Powertrain.
When the Code Lookup screen is first dis-

played, a P0000 is displayed in the columns

that mark the code digit locations. Underneath

the third digit there is a “

^

” symbol. The “

^

”

symbol is used as a cursor to identify the digit

that will change when the UP/DOWN arrow keys are pressed to increase/decrease

the digit. The cursor starts at the third digit because the fourth and fifth are fixed

(P0xxx).

_ Entering Third Digit (P0x00)
Set the third digit by using the UP and

DOWN arrow keys to scroll the third digit

characters until the desired character is

displayed.

_

Entering Second Digit (P00x0)

To enter the second code digit, press the

LEFT/RIGHT arrow key to move the cursor

“

^

” one column to the right. Use the UP/

DOWN arrow keys to increase/decrease

the digit.
_ Entering First Digit (P000x)
To enter the first or final digit, press the

LEFT/RIGHT arrow key to move the cursor

“

^

” to the last column on the right. Use the

UP/DOWN arrow keys to increase/de-

crease the digit.
_ Editing A Code Number
If you make a mistake on any of the digits, simply use the LEFT/ RIGHT arrow key

to move the cursor “

^

” underneath the digit you wish to change. Then use the UP

and DOWN arrow keys to change the digit’s value.
