Figure 6-7 Sample DTC & FFD Screen
The erase codes function can be applied by tapping the Clear DTC button at
the bottom of the screen.
Stored Codes
Stored codes are the current emission related DTCs from the ECM of the
vehicle. OBD II/EOBD Codes have a priority according to their emission
severity, with higher priority codes overwriting lower priority codes. The
priority of the code determines the illumination of the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) and the codes erase procedure. Manufacturers rank
codes differently, so expect to see differences between vehicles.
Pending Codes
These are codes whose setting conditions were met during the last drive
cycle, but need to be met on two or more consecutive drive cycles before
the DTC actually sets. The intended use of this service is to assist the
service technician after a vehicle repair and after clearing diagnostic
information, by reporting test results after a driving cycle.
a) If a test failed during the driving cycle, the DTC associated with that
test is reported. If the pending fault does not occur again within 40
to 80 warm-up cycles, the fault is automatically cleared from memory.
b) Test results reported by this service do not necessarily indicate a
faulty component or system. If test results indicate another failure
after additional driving, then a DTC is set to indicate a faulty
component or system, and the MIL is illuminated.
