6. Diagnostics Chart for On-board Diagnosis System

C: INSPECTION MODE
The on-board diagnosis system is designed to detect prob-
lems while the vehicle is being driven. If a problem is found,
the ABS and TCS warning light will illuminate to inform the
driver of the occurrence of a problem. When the warning
light is on, the ABS/TCS system will be inactive and the
normal braking function will work. It is possible for the most
recent trouble code and history of problem to be stored in
memory until cleared.
B4M0082C
D: TROUBLE CODES
When on-board diagnosis of the ABS/TCS control module
detects a problem, the information will be stored in the EEP
ROM as a trouble code. (Stored codes will stay in memory
until they are cleared.)
1. CALLING UP A TROUBLE CODE
1) Take out diagnosis connector from side of driver’s seat
heater unit.
2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
3) Connect diagnosis connector terminal No. 4 to diagno-
sis terminal.
4) Turn ignition switch ON.
5) TCS warning light is set in the diagnostic mode and
blinks to identify trouble code.
6) After the start code (11) is shown, the trouble codes will
be shown in order of the last information first.
NOTE:
When there are no trouble codes in memory, only the start
code (11) is shown.
