Current DTC
Current DTC’s are trouble codes that are stored in the ECU when both
continuous and non-continuous (2 trip) monitors fail. Current DTC’s
command the MIL On the instant they are stored in the ECU. Current DTC’s
can be cleared using the Clear DTC’s function of the Scantool, or when the
ECU monitor (2 trip monitor) has ran and completed 40 consecutive trips
without a fault.
Pending DTC
Pending DTC’s are trouble codes stored in the ECU when non-continuous (2
trip) monitors fail the first trip. Pending DTC’s do not command the MIL On
when stored in the ECU. Pending DTC’s remain stored in the ECU until the
ECU monitor completes and Passes one trip. If the monitor fails the 2nd trip,
the Pending DTC remains, a Current DTC is set, and the MIL is turned on.
Pending DTC’s can also be cleared using the Clear DTC’s function of the
Scantool.
History DTC
History DTC’s are trouble codes stored in the ECU when continuous and
non-continuous monitors (2nd trip) fail. History DTC’s set in conjunction
with Current DTC’s and are not cleared by the ECU monitor. History DTC’s
can only be cleared using the Clear DTC function of the Scantool.
Permanent DTC
Permanent DTC’s are trouble codes that are stored in the ECU when
continuous and non-continuous monitors fail. Permanent DTC’s are set in
conjunction with Current and History DTC’s. Permanent DTC’s can not be
cleared using the Clear DTC’s function on the Scantool. Instead, Permanent
DTC’s are cleared when the ECU monitor completes and passes three
consecutive trips.
Cumulative Monitor
The Cumulative Monitor lets you know if a particular readiness monitor
has run and completed at least one trip since the Monitor was last reset.
The Cumulative Monitor displays Test Results and Test Details for the
previous Monitor trip. When Monitors are reset, Cumulative Monitor
