10.Warning Light Illumination Pattern
A: INSPECTION
1) When warning lights or indicator lights do not illuminate in accordance with this illumination pattern, there
must be an electrical malfunction.
2) When warning lights or indicator lights remain constantly OFF, check the combination meter circuit or CAN
communication circuit. VDC INDICATOR LIGHT DO NOT COME ON, Warning Light Illumination Pattern.>
3) When ABS warning light does not go off, check the combination meter circuit. WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF, Warning Light Illumination Pattern.>
(1) Ignition switch (8) 1.5 seconds (12) Brake warning light (EBD warning
light)(2) OFF (9) VDC indicator light
(3) ON (10) VDC warning light and TCS OFF

ness connector
between combina-
tion meter brake
fluid level switch
and parking brake
switch.

ness connector
between
VDCCM&H/U and
combination
meter.
8CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTOR.
Check poor contact in all connectors.
Is there poor contact? Repair the con-
nector.
Go to step 9.
9CHECK VDCCM.
1) Connect the connector (B310) to
VDCCM&H/U.
2) Turn the ignition to ON.
3) Measure the resistance between combina-
tion meter connector and chassis ground.
