If performing repeated self tests, it may be necessary to unplug glow plug relay to keep battery from going dead. Ignore any glow plug codes while glow plug relay is unplugged.
Note: IDM codes must be cleared in this mode even though they only appear in KOEO On-Demand Self Test. If IDM trouble codes are retrieved, use the following special instructions required to clear IDM trouble codes.
- Key on.
- Record IDM trouble codes stored in KOEO ON-DEMAND SELF TEST and KOEO INJECTOR ELECTRICAL SELF TEST modes.
- Access RETRIEVE/CLEAR CONTINUOUS DTCs from NGS Tester menu to clear IDM trouble codes from memory.
- Record any codes displayed.
- Push CLEAR ALL button on NGS Tester.
- IDM trouble codes are now cleared from memory. Repeat the KOEO On-Demand Self Test and KOEO Injector Electrical Self Test. Any IDM codes that reappear are IDM hard faults. If no IDM codes reappear, then the fault is an intermittent IDM fault.
