NOTE:
. lf a customer described the symptom for code Pl706 (6), it will be necessary to recreate the symptom by test driving,
then recheck the DTC.
. iometimes, tfre E indicator light and the Malfunction Indicator lamp (MlL) may come on simultaneously lf so, repair
the PGM-Fl system accordrng to the DTC, then reset the memory by removing the BACK UP RADIO fuse in the under-
hood fuse/relay box for more than 10 seconds. Drive the car for several minutes at a speed over 30 mph {50 km/h)' then
recheck the DTC.
