Starts Since Set Counter
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Concorde, and 2002 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For most recent code (Code 1), the Starts Since Set counter counts number of times vehicle has been started since code was last set. Counter will count up to 255 starts. This counter only applies to most recent code if there is more than one code. When there are no DTCs stored in memory, DRB-III scan tool will display "NO DTC'S PRESENT" and starts since set counter will show "STARTS SINCE CLEAR = XXX". The number of starts helps determine if DTC is a hard or intermittent code. If counter shows less than 3 engine starts, it indicates a hard code. If counter shows 3 or more engine starts, an intermittent code exists.
