  2. Prove the basicsTest battery condition, system voltage, power and grounds.
  3. Identify the reporterConfirm the module that logged the code and check circuit integrity.
  4. Compare live dataReview commanded and actual values under the conditions that set the code.

Before clearing

Can the code be cleared?

Clearing a code without fixing the cause removes useful evidence and may only switch the warning off temporarily. Save the full scan first; a permanent or repeatedly returning code needs testing.

A DTC is evidence, not a parts order.

Confirm the suffix, reporting module, model, year, engine and live data before replacing a component.
