Diagnostic Codes
(or Read Codes and Clear Codes)
The diagnostic trouble code option(s) that appear on
the Diagnostic Menu screen vary depending on the
vehicle being tested. For some vehicles, the menu
option is Diagnostic Codes; for other vehicles, there are
two menu options: Read Codes and Clear Codes, as
described below.
The Diagnostic Codes option appears on the Diag-
nostic Menu screen for vehicles that allow reading of
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) with a scan tool.
The Read Codes and Clear Codes options appear on
the Diagnostic Menu screen (instead of the Diagnostic
Codes option) for vehicles that require reading of DTCs
by visually viewing them as “flash codes.” For this type
of vehicle, you identify the vehicle’s “flash code” num-
bers and manually enter the numbers into the NGIS tool
to see their descriptions.
When you use the diagnostic trouble code options, a
screen similar to the following screen appears. The
screen displays diagnostic test code (DTC) numbers
and descriptions.
