How to Pull Codes From a 1995 Chevy

How to Pull Codes From a 1995 Chevy

You can pull the codes from your 1995 Chevy right in your garage, saving you time and money. When your Chevy is having problems, you might see a warning light such as "Check Engine" illuminate on its instrument cluster. This light ers to a problem with one of the vehicles sensors. Before repair the vehicle, you must troubleshoot the problem with an OBD I scan tool you can purchase from your local auto parts retailer.

Instructions

    1

    Park the vehicle and turn off the ignition. Find the open OBD port under the steering column. Plug the OBD I scan tool into the open port.

    2

    Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ACC" position and do not start the engine.

    3

    Turn on the OBD I scan tool and wait for it to read the codes.

    4

    Wait for the display on the OBD I scan tool to read "OK," then turn off the ignition and the scan tool.

    5

    Select the "Menu" command and scroll through it until you see "Stored Codes." Select this option and write down the alphanumeric codes on a piece of paper.

    6

    Look up the codes in the scan tools manual. Unplug the scan tool and have your Chevy serviced or repaired according to the diagnostic codes.
