Dtc Confirmation Procedure

DTC Confirmation Procedure

  1. PRECONDITIONING

    1. CONSULT

      1. Ignition switch ON.

      2. Select “T LAMP LH CIRC MALFUNCTN” and “T LAMP RH CIRC MALFUNCTN” in “Data Monitor” mode of “IPDM E/R”.

      3. Check the monitor status.

        Monitor item

        Monitor status

        T LAMP LH CIRC MALFUNCTN

        0

        1

        T LAMP RH CIRC MALFUNCTN

        0

        1

    What is the monitor status?

    “0”>>

    GO TO 2.

    “1”>>

    A short circuit is detected multiple times in the tail lamp LH, tail lamp RH, license plate lamp LH or license plate lamp RH power supply circuit, and damage accumulates at the Smart FET inside the IPDM E/R. For this reason, IPDM E/R does not turn ON the Smart FET. Because the DTC cannot be reproduced in this state, refer to DTC Diagnosis Procedure and replace IPDM E/R after the malfunctioning part is repaired. Refer to Removal and Installation.

  2. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

    1. CONSULT

      1. Ignition switch OFF.

      2. Ignition switch ON.

      3. Turn lighting switch 1ST.

      4. Select “Self Diagnostic Result” mode of “IPDM E/R”.

      5. Check DTC.

    Is DTC detected?

    YES >>

    Refer to DTC Diagnosis Procedure.

    NO >>

    To check malfunction symptom before repair: Refer to Intermittent Incident.

    NO >>

    Confirmation after repair: Inspection End.
