Self-Diagnostic System: Notes

NOTE: Electronic Control Module (ECM) may also be referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in some diagnostic charts and figures. Terms are used interchangeably.

Control module is equipped with a self-diagnostic system, which detects system failures or abnormalities. When a malfunction occurs, control module will illuminate SERVICE ENGINE SOON light located on instrument panel. When malfunction is detected and light is turned on, a corresponding trouble code will be stored in control module memory. To retrieve stored codes, refer to RETRIEVING CODES (NON-SCAN)  . Malfunctions are recorded as hard failures or as intermittent failures.
