Section 10.7.1
Purpose
The purpose of the EST — Fault Codes check is to determine if the ECM has detected any fault conditions that would cause a hard or no start condition.
Section 10.7.2
Test Procedure
Before starting this procedure, turn all accessories and the ignition off. Then connect the EST tool to the ATA diagnostic connector.
Connect the EST to the American Trucking Association (ATA) diagnostic connector. If the engine is installed in a truck, the connector is located on the lower left kick panel inside the cab. Body builders could locate this connector in other places. The screen of the reader should light up as soon as the tool is plugged in. See Figure
“Electronic Service Tool / ATA Connector Location”
.

Note: The ATA connector supplies power to operate the EST. The EST will automatically power up as soon as it is plugged into the ATA connector.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but do not start the engine. See Figure
“MPSI Pro-Link”
. This will allow the EST to receive data from the electronic control components. Press enter for NAVPAK menu.

Inactive codes are faults that have occurred in the previous (ignition) key ON cycles and are now stored in memory. An active code will become an inactive code when the ignition (key) is shut off.
Record all fault codes and refer to the Electronic Diagnostic Form. Refer to “10.1 Introduction”
, and fault code diagnostics.
Note: All current fault codes must be repaired and cleared before proceeding with further diagnostic testing.
