When the Transmission Control Module (TCM) senses an abnormality in the input or output systems, the indicator
light in the gauge assembly will blink. However, when the Service Check Connector (located to the lower right of the
glove compartment) is connected with a jumper wire, the indicator light will blink the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
when the ignition switch is turned on.
When the indicator light has been reported on, connect the two terminals of the Service Check Connector together.
Then turn on the ignition switch and observe the indicator light.
Codes 1 through 9 are indicated by individual short blinks. Codes 10 through 16 are indicated by a series of long and
short blinks. One long blink equals 10 short blinks. Add the long and short blinks together to determine the code. After
determining the code, refer to the electrical system Symptom-to-Component Chart on page 14-52 and 53.

PGM-FI system
The PGM-FI system on this model is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
Disconnecting the CLOCK fuse also cancels the radio preset stations and the clock setting. Make note of the radio
presets before removing the fuse so you can reset them.
NOTE:
If the inspection for a particular DTC requires the use of Test Harness (07LAJ—PT3010A):
Connect the wire harness to the Test Harness, and/or connect the Test Harness to the TCM according to the
troubleshooting flowchart.
