Vehicle Diagnostics
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are error
codes that are generated when there
is a problem with your vehicle. If your
vehicle dashboard displays a check engine
light, DTC(s) will be available to assist in
diagnosing the problem. You can use the
Banks iQ to run a vehicle system check
and display these DTC(s). A code will be
given along with a brief description of the
problem, a full description of the code will
display below the code list when the code
is highlighted. You may call your vehicle
dealer or reference your vehicle service
manual for description and possible
corrective action to fix the problem. Once
the problem has been repaired you can
clear the code to turn the check engine
light off.
NOTE: Keep a written record of the DTC
code(s) that display on your Banks iQ for
future reference before clearing them.
Check for OBD II DTC(s)
If any vehicle DTC(s) are present,
troubleshoot/repair the cause. Once the
cause is properly remedied, touch ‘Clear
Codes’ and then ‘Check for Codes’ again
to verify the problem is fixed (the OBD II
code should not re-appear). You may need
to complete a driving cycle for the code to
not re-appear.

vehicle diagnostic codes and display
