SPECIAL FUNCTION
Special menu
W/L ON HISTORY
 Stores histories when warning/indicator lamp is turned on.
 “W/L ON HISTORY” indicates the “TIME” when the warning/ indicator lamp is turned on.
 The “TIME” above is:
- 0: The condition that the warning/indicator lamp has been turned on 1 or more times after starting the engine and waiting for 30 seconds.
- 1 - 39: The number of times the engine was restarted after the 0 condition.
- NO W/L ON HISTORY: Stores NO (0) turning on history of warning/indicator lamp.
NOTE:
 W/L ON HISTORY is not stored for approximately 30 seconds after the engine starts.
 Brake warning lamp does not store any history when the parking brake is applied or the brake fluid level gets
low.

Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-85, "Removal and Installation"
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK PARKING BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Perform check for the parking brake switch signal circuit. Refer to WCS-43, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Repair harness or connector.
3.CHECK PARKING BRAKE SWITCH
Perform a unit check for the parking brake switch. Refer to WCS-43, "
Component Inspection".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> Replace combination meter. Refer to MWI-85, "Removal and Installation"
NO >> Replace parking brake switch. Refer to PB-5, "Exploded View".
When parking brake is applied : ON
When parking brake is released : OFF

DETAILED FLOW
1.COLLECT THE INFORMATION FROM THE CUSTOMER
It is also important to clarify customer concerns before starting the inspection. Reproduce the symptom, and
understand it fully. Interview the customer about the concer ns carefully. In some cases, it is necessary to
check the symptoms by driving the vehicle with the customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professionals. Never assume“mayb e the customer means...” or “maybe the cus-
tomer mentioned this symptom.
>> GO TO 2.
2.BASIC INSPECTION
1. Turn the ignition switch ON. CAUTION:
Never start the engine.
2. Check the tire pressure for all wheels and adjust to the specified value. Refer to WT-69, "
Tire Air Pres-
sure".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Inspect or repair the tires or wheels.
3.CHECK LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LAMP STATUS
Check low tire pressure warning lamp display.
Does not low tire pressure warning lamp turn OFF?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> GO TO 8.
4.CHECK DTC WITH LOW TIRE PR ESSURE WARNING CONTROL UNIT
With CONSULT-III
Perform the self-diagnosis fo r “AIR PRESSURE MONITOR”.
Is any DTC detected?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> GO TO 8.
5.ERASE DTC MEMORY
With CONSULT-III
1. Record DTC.
2. Erase DTC once.
NOTE:
After erasing DTC record, currently occurr ed DTC can be detected by reading out DTC again.
>> GO TO 6.
6.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
With CONSULT-III
Perform “DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE” (self-diagnosis) with recorded DTC.
If two or more DTCs are detected, refer to WT-17, "
DTC Inspection Priority Chart" and determine trouble diag-
nosis order.
Is any malfunction detected by self-diagnosis?
YES >> GO TO 7.
