1.STEP MOTORS INITIALIZING FUNCTION
STEP motor initializing procedure (Automatic initializing)
1. When the battery is reconnected and the ignition switch is turned to the ON position for the first
time, the initializing function of the STEP motors is activated. In this case, the "FRONT DEF"
indicator blinks.
