Service Tool Error Identifiers

Usage:

C7.1 6J6
Service error identifiers are displayed when an electronic service tool service test has failed. The error identifiers help to explain the reason for the service test failure. There could be cases where the error identifier isolates the failed component. If applicable, use the appropriate troubleshooting procedure.
