After entering On-Board Diagnostics, a segment check is automatically performed and then any trouble code stored in
computer memory will be displayed. Codes may be stored for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC), Air Conditioning Programer (ACP), Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) Traction Control System (TCS) or
Road Sensing Suspension (RSS) systems.
Each trouble code consists of the system abbreviation: (E: Engine, PCM), (I: IPC), (A: ACP), (R: SIR), (T: TCS), (S: RSS), a
three digit code identifier, and the letter C or H. All codes for each system are displayed together, in the order of their three
digit number (lowest first). The final digit of the code, a "C" or "H" is used to indicate whether the code is Current or History.
A "C" means the fault was still present the last time the diagnostic test was run, while "H" means the failure was not present
the last time the code was tested for.
If no codes are present for a system, a "NO X CODE" message (with "X" being the system i.e. E, I, A, R, T or S) will be
displayed. If the communication line to a component is not operating, a "NO X DATA" message will be displayed, indicating
that the IPC could not communicate with that system.

After trouble codes have been displayed, a specific vehicle system PCM, IPC, ACP, SIR, TCS, RSS may be selected for
testing. The first available system will be automatically displayed (i.e. PCM?). While selecting the system to test, any of the
following actions may be taken:
1. Depressing the "HI" button on the CCC will select the displayed system for testing.
2. Depressing the "LO" button on the CCC will display the next available system selection. This allows the display
to be stepped through all system choices. This list of systems can be repeated following the end of the system
list.
3. Depressing the "OFF" button the CCC will stop the system selection process and return the display to the
beginning of the trouble code sequence.

Having selected a system, the first available test type will be displayed (i.e. PCM DATA?, PCM CLEAR CODES?). While
selecting a specific test type, any of the following actions may be taken:
1. Depressing the "HI" button on the CCC will select the displayed test type. At this point the first of several
specific tests will appear.
2. Depressing the "LO" button on the CCC will display the next available test type for the selected system. This
allows the display to be stepped through all available test type choices. This list of test types can be repeated

CLEAR CODES

Selection of "CLEAR CODES?" test will result in the message "CODES CLEARED" being displayed along with the selected
systems name. This message will appear for 3 seconds and then return to the next available test type.

To get out of the diagnostic mode anytime during the test, depress the "AUTO" or "DEFOG" button, or turn the ignition
switch "OFF." Trouble codes are not erased if this is done prior to selecting "CODES CLEARED."
Customer Snapshot
Go Home
Go Top
DESCRIPTION
The Northstar powertrain has an unique feature that allows a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) snapshot to be recorded
without being in on-board diagnostics by simply pressing two buttons on the Climate Control Center (CCC). This feature,
called Customer Snapshot, records a complete set of PCM data parameters and inputs when the "OFF" and "FRONT
DEFROST" buttons on the CCC are pressed simultaneously.
Customer Snapshot only works when the vehicle is NOT in on-board diagnostics. This feature can be very useful when it is
difficult to reproduce a condition. When this occurs, the owner or driver may be instructed to take a Customer Snapshot while
the condition is present and return to the dealer for diagnosis when convenient.
ACTIVATING SNAPSHOT
A Customer Snapshot may be taken anytime the ignition is on and the vehicle is not in on-board diagnostics. While this is
true, pressing the "OFF" and "FRONT DEFROST" buttons simultaneously for one second will cause a snapshot to be taken
and the "Service Engine Soon" Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) to be turned "ON" for 2 seconds as confirmation that a
snapshot was taken.
RETRIEVING SNAPSHOT DATA
This data may be retrieved by entering diagnostics, selecting PCM SNAPSHOT and viewing the P001 SNAPSHOT (It will
appear as a code snapshot with and code designation of P001, hence the P001 SNAPSHOT designation.). The Customer
Snapshot data will be overwritten if another Customer Snapshot is taken or if a PCM snapshot is taken while in on-board
diagnostics.
