Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If there is an impending failure, the system may require more time to run the diagnostic than was allotted in the system set procedure. If any DTCs do not run and no DTC is set, review the appropriate scan tool data list and service information. This will give an indication of why the DTCs do not run. Some may abort due to changes in the conditions while running. For example, changes in engine load such as a cooling fan or A/C compressor clutch turning ON, may cause a DTC to abort. If the EGR I/M System Status does not update to YES, the procedure can be repeated until a YES status is achieved.
