Ronnie Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 The codes can still be checked from the instrument panel. I think by holding the climate Off and Warm button at the same time. I may be wrong and I'm sure someone here will chime in and tell you exactly how it should be done.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim NotreDame IN Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 by the warm button, do you mean the temp up button? mine doesn't say warm anywhere. thanks for all the advice, no hard feelings about the post from before, i was just in a hurry. i read it back later, and you're right. sounds like that other guy got worked up about it enough for the both of us anyway. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Turn on the key and on your ECC ( climate control module ) push the "off" and temperature up ( up arrow ) at the same time and hold them until the car goes into the diagnostic mode. You will see all of the lights on the IPC light up and the trouble codes will then be read out where the mileage usually is.Write down the codes as they go by. They go by pretty fast so write them down quickly and watch for the next. First you will get the engine codes eg. Exxx, then you will get the body codes eg. Bxxx then some IPC codes eg. Rxxx and maybe an SIR code.If any code has an "h" after it that means it is a code in history and not current. No "h" means it is a current code.After all the codes have displayed you will get a Ec? this means do you want to diagnose the engine computer. Pressing the Fan down arrow you will be telling the computer no, the fan up arrow means yes.If you did get any Ec codes and you want to clear them, when you get the Ec? push yes and then it will ask you questions, keep pushing no until it asks if you want to clear the E codes then push yes.If you have no E codes and/or want to go to the B codes when it asks you Ec? push the fan down button for no and it will then ask you Bc, and you can push yes. It will then ask you questions and you continue pushing no until it ask CLR b code and you push the up fan for yes.You cannot hurt anything or screw up anything by doing this and if you make a mistake simply turn off the key and start over or push the bi-level button next to the fan switch.
