The green, yellow and red LEDs are used (with the display) as 
visual aids to make it easier to determine engine system 
conditions. 
„
 
Green LED – Indicates that all 
engine systems are “OK” and 
operating normally. All monitors 
supported by the vehicle have run 
and performed their diagnostic 
testing, and no trouble codes are 
present. All Monitor icons will be 
solid. 
„
 
Yellow LED – Indicates one of the 
following conditions: 
A.  A PENDING CODE IS PRESENT – 
If the yellow LED is illuminated, it 
may indicate a Pending code is 
present. Check the Scan Tool’s 
display for confirmation. A Pending 
code is confirmed by the presence 
of a numeric code and the word 
PENDING on the Scan Tool’s 
display. 
B.  MONITOR NOT RUN STATUS – If 
the Scan Tool’s display shows a 
zero (indicating there are no DTC’s 
present in the vehicle’s computer 
memory), but the yellow LED is 
illuminated, it may be an indication 
that some of the Monitors 
supported by the vehicle have not 
yet run and completed their 
diagnostic testing. Check the Scan 
Tool’s display for confirmation. All 
Monitor icons that are blinking 
have not yet run and completed 
their diagnostic testing; all Monitor 
icons that are solid have run and 
completed their diagnostic testing. 
„
 
Red LED – Indicates there is a 
problem with one or more of the 
vehicle’s systems. The red LED is 
also used to indicate that DTC(s) 
are present (displayed on the Scan 
Tool’s screen). In this case, the 
Malfunction Indicator (Check Engine) 
lamp on the vehicle’s instrument 
panel will be illuminated. 
„
 
DTC’s that start with “P0”, “P2” and some “P3” are considered 
Generic (Universal). All Generic DTC definitions are the same on all 
OBD2 equipped vehicles. The Scan Tool automatically displays the 
code definitions (if available) for Generic DTC’s.
