Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-BasedDiagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).

1. ACTIVE DTC

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. With the scan tool select View DTCs.

3. Record the related Freeze Frame data.

4. With the scan tool clear DTCs.

5. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near thepulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result inpossible serious or fatal injury.

6. With the scan tool select View DTCs.

NOTE: If the DTC does not reset it may be necessary to test drive the vehicle.
