Right now it is acting up as soon as you start it up. Check engine light will come on for several minutes then go out for a while and then come back on

If the trouble code(s) are not displayed, use the MODE button to toggle until "CK ENG" displays on the information display area.

1.Press and hold the MODE button to enter the diagnostics code menu.

 

 

A set of three numbers will appear in the information area.

  • The first number (located far left) can range from 0 to 9. This number represents the total number of trouble code present (example: 2 means there are 3 codes present).
  • The second number (located top right) can be 2 to 6 digits in length. This number equates to the suspected area of fault (SPN).
  • The third number (located bottom right) can be 1 to 2 digits in length. This number equates to the fault mode (FMI).

2. If more than one code exists, press the MODE button to advance to the next trouble code.

 

3. To exit the diagnostic mode, press and hold the MODE button or turn the ignition key OFF once the codes are recorded.

 

let me know the codes you get

The diagnostic mode is accessible only when the check engine MIL has been activated. when the key is on when the key is off it clears the codes.
