Help reading DIC codes in Manual config. mode
I need advice on looking at codes in the manual config mode. My car is suddenly throwing codes and Check engine light is coming on.
I've done this successfully in the past but now the DIC doesn't show me the individual codes in manual mode. For example is says "PCM - 2 codes" but I can't tell what those codes are.
What am I doing wrong.
I recently had the A/C recharged, and I'm not saying the shop caused the problem but maybe a harness or plug came loose while the tech was looking for leaks.
The codes I'm getting are PCM -2codes, HVAC - 1 code, and RFA -1 code (no tire pressure sensors)

Here's the procedure..
are you doing this?
with the key in the on position, but the engine not running
push and release the reset button until all messages cleared
next push and HOLD button #4
next push and release button #1 four times while holding button #4
When first engaged the on-board diagnostics go into an "automatic" mode which shows all parameters: PCM-TCS-RTD-BCM-IPC-radio-HVAC-LDCM-RDCM-SCM-RFA. If there are no problems, you will see "no more codes" on the ICP display. The computer will show two kinds of codes, "current" and "history," designated "C" or "H". A current code indicates a malfunction is present in the system whose module is displaying data. A history code indicates a past problem. When the screen displays "manual diagnostics," select the desired module by pressing the "options" button to go forward or the "trip" button to go back. Press "gages" to go forward or "fuel" to go back. To exit the diagnostic mode at any time, press "E/M".
If you want to erase or "clear" codes, press "reset."
....if above procedure is not working you may have to hook up a OBD II tool to scan/read out your codes...
