Diagnostic test mode II Ð Self-diagnostic results
In this mode, DTC is indicated by the number of blinks of the MIL as shown below.
Long (0.6 second) blinking indicates the two LH digits of number and short (0.3 second) blinking indicates
the two RH digits of number. For example, the MIL blinks 10 times for 6 seconds (0.6 sec x 10 times) and
then it blinks three times for about 1 second (0.3 sec x 3 times). This indicates the DTC ª1003º.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classified by their DTC numbers. The DTC ª0505º refers to no
malfunction. (See TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð INDEX, EC-3400.)
How to erase diagnostic test mode II (Self-diagnostic results)
The DTC can be erased from the backup memory in the ECM when the diagnostic test mode is changed
from Diagnostic Test Mode II to Diagnostic Test Mode I. (Refer to ªHow to Switch Diagnostic Test Modesº,
EC-3431.)
+If the battery terminal is disconnected, the DTC will be lost from the backup memory within 24
hours.
+Be careful not to erase the stored memory before starting trouble diagnoses.
