Current DTC
Current DTC’s are trouble codes that are stored in the ECU when both continuous and non-continuous (2 trip)
monitors fail. Current DTC’s command the MIL On the instant they are stored in the ECU. Current DTC’s can be
cleared using the Clear DTC’s function of the Scantool, or when the ECU monitor (2 trip monitor) has ran and
completed 40 consecutive trips without a fault.

Pending DTC
Pending DTC’s are trouble codes stored in the ECU when non-continuous (2 trip) monitors fail the first trip.
Pending DTC’s do not command the MIL On when stored in the ECU. Pending DTC’s remain stored in the ECU
until the ECU monitor completes and Passes one trip. If the monitor fails the 2nd trip, the Pending DTC remains, a
Current DTC is set, and the MIL is turned on. Pending DTC’s can also be cleared using the Clear DTC’s function
of the Scantool.

History DTC
History DTC’s are trouble codes stored in the ECU when continuous and non-continuous monitors (2nd trip) fail.
History DTC’s set in conjunction with Current DTC’s and are not cleared by the ECU monitor. History DTC’s
can only be cleared using the Clear DTC function of the Scantool.

Permanent DTC
Permanent DTC’s are trouble codes that are stored in the ECU when continuous and non-continuous monitors
fail. Permanent DTC’s are set in conjunction with Current and History DTC’s. Permanent  DTC’s can not be
cleared using the Clear DTC’s function on the Scantool. Instead, Permanent DTC’s are cleared when the ECU
monitor completes and passes three consecutive trips.

Cumulative Monitor
The Cumulative Monitor lets you know if a particular readiness monitor has run and completed at least one trip
since the Monitor was last reset. The Cumulative Monitor displays Test Results and Test Details for the previous
Monitor trip. When Monitors are reset, Cumulative Monitor status and result fields change to Incomplete and Pass.
Cumulative Monitor information can be used during emission testing to verify that each Monitor has run, completed
and passed at least one trip since the Monitor was last reset.

Current Monitor
When the key is first turned ON and the engine is OFF, Monitor Status and Monitor Results will show information
from the last key cycle.

Pass. Test Results and Test Details will continue to display last trip values until the monitor runs and completes
the current trip. When the Monitor completes, Monitor Status, Monitor Results, Test Results and Test Details are
updated with latest trip information.
Current Monitor information can be used as an advanced diagnostic tool to confirm system/component failures,
system operation and readiness monitor operation.
