Revision: November 20092006 QX56
3. With engine started, touch “START”, “ICC ”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS ” on CONSULT-II screen in this order.
CAUTION:
If “ICC” cannot be shown after several attempts, the ICC unit may be malfunctioning and should
be replaced. Refer to ACS-59, "
ICC Unit" .
4. Self-diagnostic result appears on screen. If “NO DTC ···” is shown, check ICC warning lamp. If any mal-
function is indicated, GO TO step 5.
5. Refer to ACS-36, "
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart" , perform appropriate check, and repair or
replace malfunctioning part as necessary.
6. Turn ignition switch OFF.
7. Start engine and touch “START ”, “ICC ”, “SELF-DIAG RESULTS ”, and “ERASE ” on CONSULT-II.
CAUTION:
DTC of an existing malfunction will not erase. If the memory does not erase, GO TO step 5.
8. Perform ICC system running test (drive vehicle with ICC system ON), and make sure that ICC warning lamp does not illuminate.
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
