To read the codes:
⇒ Press and hold the READ key for 2 seconds then release it, or
Select Read Codes from Diagnostic Menu.
When viewing codes, the Tool displays Confirmed, Pending, and Perma-
nent Codes. Confirmed Trouble Codes are reported when a component,
sensor, or other part of the vehicle is indicating a malfunction is present.
The malfunction must be present for a sufficient amount of time before
the vehicle records and the Tool displays a Confirmed Trouble Code.
Confirmed codes are indicated by the CONFIRMED icon.
Pending Codes are only reported if a problem occurs during the current
or last completed drive cycle. Pending Codes do not necessarily indicate
a faulty component or system. Pending Codes convert to Confirmed
Trouble Codes when an emissions problem persists long enough to
be considered a real problem, not an anomaly. Pending Codes are
indicated by a PENDING icon.
Permanent Codes are special confirmed code. Permanent Codes
began being reported by vehicles beginning around 2010, so they are
not supported by every vehicle. While Confirmed Codes can be erased
by the tool, Permanent Codes cannot. Permanent Codes are erased
by the vehicle when the vehicle has determined the fault is no longer
present. Permanent Codes are indicated by a PERMANENT icon.
