OBD-II regulations standardize Data Link Connector (DLC) configurations. DLC No. 3 connector is located under left side of instrument panel. (Scheme 79)

Scheme 79

Scheme 79: DATA LINK CONNECTOR

FREEZE-FRAME DATA

ECM records engine operating condition when a misfire, fuel trim (mixture) malfunction or other malfunction (fuel system, calculated load, coolant temperature, fuel trim (mixture), engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) exists. If more than one fault is detected, only data from first malfunction is recorded. Recorded data is useful for determining conditions in which malfunction occurs.

NORMAL Mode Code Retrieval

  1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3. (Scheme 79) DLC No. 3 is located under left side of instrument panel. Turn ignition on with engine off. Turn scan tool on. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, check for DTCs and freeze-frame data.
  2. If scan tool displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, DLC No. 3 must be checked. See «DLC NO. 3 INSPECTION»(ref-22522-S00869612642001010300000) under SCAN TOOL PROBLEMS. If scan tool does not display UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, go to next step.
  3. Record any DTCs and freeze-frame data displayed for system diagnosis. If driveability problem exists and no DTCs are present, go to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article for diagnosis by symptom.
  4. If any DTCs are present, perform appropriate diagnostic test in «DIAGNOSTIC TESTS»(ref-22522-S19059779852001010300000). See «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION»(ref-22522-S11860364142001010300000) table. For more information on freeze-frame data, see «FREEZE-FRAME DATA»(ref-22522-S18805791892001010300000) under INTRODUCTION. For information on 2-trip detection logic codes, see «TWO-TRIP DETECTION LOGIC»(ref-22522-S08646028112001010300000) under INTRODUCTION.
  5. After repairs for DTC have been completed, DTCs must be cleared from ECM memory. See «CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-22522-S27929095292001010300000).
