Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sierra and 2003 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
  • Do not clear the DTC unless directed by a diagnostic procedure. Clearing the DTCs will erase all Freeze Frame and Failure Records stored in PCM memory.
  • Poor engine performance can sometimes be diagnosed as a transmission driveability condition. In order to avoid mis-diagnosis of the automatic transmission, always perform the SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM for 4.3 L or SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM for 4.8 L, 5.3 L and 6.0 L.
  • Use a scan tool that is known to function correctly. If necessary, test the scan tool on another vehicle.
  • Ensure the scan tool contains the most current file available.
  • The scan tool will display a loss of communication error message under the following conditions:
    • PCM power is interrupted
    • The ignition switch is turned OFF
    • The battery voltage level is very low
    • A poor connection at the diagnostic link connector (DLC)
