Mode 03: Interrogating fault memory
Description
When the Engine Control Module (ECM) recognizes an emission related fault it turns on the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or if a Electronic Throttle Malfunction is recognized, the Engine Control Module (ECM) turns on the Electronic Power Control (EPC) Warning Lamp which are both located in the instrument cluster.
Diagnostic Mode 03 is used to retrieve and view any DTC which may be stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The DTCs are sorted by SAE code with the DTC tables consisting of a 5-digit alphanumeric value.
Depending on scan tool and protocol used, the information displayed in diagnostic mode 03 may be referred to by different names such as Test-ID (TID), Hex-ID, Component-ID (CID), On-Board Diagnostic Monitor Identifier (OBDMID), or contain no name at all and be referenced by only a number.
The following tables provide a breakdown and explanation of the DTC code.
