1998 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight V6-3.8L VIN KSECTION History Codes
History Code:
Upon entering the Diagnostic Mode, the MALL module provides audible feedback in the form of bongs; the number of bongs represents the stored history code number. The FASTEN BELTS indicator flashes with each bong. The history code and its corresponding short circuit condition are as shown in the figure.
The MALL module cycles through the stored history code(s) three times. For example, if a short condition occurs on the FASTEN BELTS indicator circuit and battery protection circuit, one bong sounds for the FASTEN BELTS indicator circuit, followed by two bongs for the battery protection circuit. A two second pause occurs before the history codes repeat. If no history codes exist, the MALL module immediately enters the Input/Output Mode.
The history codes may be erased by holding the power door unlock switch for four seconds.
