HELP!! Check Engine Light ON!! How to Pull Engine Codes ??

Katmandu · **Posted:** Thu Sep 08, 2005 3:33 pm

Wife just called on the way to work.... Her 05 Lib (only 1300 miles on in it) just threw a Check Engine Light. She states it appears to be still running OK.

I told her to get to the Dealer ASAP (few miles away) to have the Code pulled and Checked Out.

How does one pull a Code at home (if no instrument is available) ?? Is there a key on/off/on/off procedure or something ??

Anyone have a listing of Check Engine Light Codes ??

TIA!

But....I did NOT find an answer (yet) on how to pull a Code withOUT a Code Scanner.

Is there a way like the Key On/Off/On/Off type procedure available ??

Another Excellent Topic for our Tech Forum!

Quote:

If you want trouble codes follow this procedure:

1. Cycle the ignition key On - Off - On - Off - On within 5 seconds.

2. The odometer will show the P-code for the corresponding Diagnostic Trouble Code number.

3. If no DTC's are present, the cluster will display either:

A. "P1684" and "done"
B. Or, only "done"

P1684 does not indicate a problem; it's only a status, which indicates that the PCM memory has been cleared within the last 50 ignition cycles. "Done" indicates that no DTC's are present and the procedure is complete
