Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood and 2002 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: All diagnostic tests are written specifically for New Generation Star (NGS) tester. Most generic OBD-II compliant scan tools should be able to perform all test procedures.

Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located beneath center of instrument panel, right of steering column. Using NGS tester, perform data link diagnostics test. See appropriate DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in appropriate MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article. If NGS tester displays CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70=ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, repair module communications problem. See appropriate MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Generic Electronic Module (GEM), diagnose communication problem. See appropriate MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article.

If NGS tester responds with SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record continuous DTCs. Erase continuous DTCs. Using NGS tester, perform GEM self-test. If DTCs retrieved are related to problem, diagnose DTC. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX table. For complete DTC listing, see appropriate MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article. If no DTCs are retrieved, repair by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX table under SYSTEM TESTS.
