SELF-DIAGNOSTICS PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch to "OFF".
2. Start the engine.
3. Quickly switch the active damper suspension select switch from "SPORT" to "AUTO", and vice versa, at least 5 times within 10 seconds immediately after the engine has started.
^ 2 or 3 seconds following the above switch operation, the indicator lamp will come on. This is not the indication of self-diagnosis.
4. Perform the following procedures to enter the corresponding signals.
^ Turn steering wheel 180° in either direction from neutral.
^ Depress brake pedal.
^ Release brake pedal.
^ Move the vehicle at least 5 m (10 ft) forward

HOW TO READ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS





(Malfunction codes)
Following the steps listed under the "Self-diagnostic procedure" above, a malfunctioning area or malfunctioning areas, if any, are indicated by a flashing SPORT indicator lamp located in the meter cluster.
The indicator lamp flashes to show malfunctioning areas corresponding with No. 11 through 14, then No. 21, 23 and 24, in that order. 2 seconds after all items are indicated, the indicator lamp repeats the flash sequence for all items again.
^ When all items are in good order, the indicator lamp flashes at a cycle of 1/4 Hz [ON (2 seconds) and OFF (2 seconds)].
Display mode:
First digit "ON" (0.6 seconds)
Second digit "ON" (0.3 seconds)
^ The upper part of the figure at left shows an example of a malfunctioning area corresponding with No. 23.
^ The lower part of the figure at left shows an example of a malfunctioning area (No. 23) which previously fell under the fail-safe history data and is still stored in the current fail-safe data history.
After repairing the malfunctioning area(s), erase the self-diagnostic data stored in memory.
