Connect the SCS service connector to the service check connector inside the passenger's side kick panel.
Depress the brake pedal.
Turn the ignition switch oN (ll) while holding the brake pedal, but do not start the engine. The ABS indicator light
goes off after two seconds.
After the indicator light goes off, release the brake pedal The indicator lightcomeson after four seconds
After the indicator light comes on, depress the brake pedal again. The indicator light goes off again after four sec-
onds. The brake pedal is still depressed.

6. After the jndicator light goes off, release the brake pedal again'
7. After four seconds, the indicator light blinks twice for 0 3 second and the DTC is erased
8. Confirm the DTC indication, and check that the DTC was erased
NOTE: Always maintain these steps. lf you disconnect the scs service connector and/or fail to operate the brake pedal
according to the indicator light indication, the DTC will not be erased
Conditions for DTC erasure
o The vehicle is stopped.
