Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those
circuits, the engine trouble warning light
will come on and the odometer/tripme-
ter/clock display will indicate a two-digit

The self-diagnosis device also detects

cuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and the
display will indicate a two-digit error
code.
TIPIf the display indicates error code 52,
this could be caused by transponder in-
terference. If this error code appears,try the following.1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.
TIPMake sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the enginefrom starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the

dard keys re-registered.
