Fault codes
Fault codes
Type a code (like P0300 or 12) or a symptom word (misfire, oxygen, airbag).
No scanner? No problem
How to read and clear codes
1 · Read the blinks
- Find the white 16-pin socket (DLC) under the dash near the steering column.
- Bridge terminals 4 (CG) and 13 (TC) with a short wire or paper clip.
- Turn the ignition ON (engine off).
- Count the check-engine light flashes: long flashes = tens, short flashes = units (e.g. 1 long + 2 short = 12).
- Match the 2-digit number to the list above (shown after the slash, e.g. P0340/12).
2 · Fix, then clear
- Repair the cause first — clearing a code does not fix anything.
- Ignition OFF. Pull the 15A EFI fuse (No. 7) in the engine-room fuse box.
- Wait at least 60 seconds, refit the fuse.
- Drive and check the light stays off.
