Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (Malfunction codes)






1. Start the malfunction memory erase mode. To do so, disconnect the check terminal L from the ground under the self- diagnostic results mode.
2. Erase the self-diagnostic results (malfunction codes). To do so, after erase mode starts, ground check terminal L more than three times within 12.5 seconds. (Each grounding must be longer than one second.) The ABS warning lamp stays on while the erase mode. Then it goes out after the erase operation has been completed. The self-diagnosis is also completed at the same time.
After the erase operation, rerun the self-diagnostic mode. Verify that malfunction codes no longer appear. When the system Is functioning normally, only the start code should be indicated.
