SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS MODE

Self Diagnostic Item

Regarding items of DTC and 1st trip DTC, refer to EC-94, "DTC Index".

How to Read DTC and 1st Trip DTC

DTCs and 1st trip DTCs related to the malfunction are displayed in вЂњSelf-diag resultsвЂќ.

When ECM detects a 1st trip DTC, вЂњ1tвЂќ is displayed for вЂњTIMEвЂќ.
When ECM has detected a current DTC, вЂњ0вЂќ is displayed for вЂњTIMEвЂќ.
If вЂњTIMEвЂќ is neither вЂњ0вЂќ nor вЂњ1tвЂќ, the DTC occurred in the past and ECM shows the number of times the vehicle has been driven since the last detection of the DTC.

How to Erase DTC and 1st Trip DTC

NOTE:

If the ignition switch stays ON after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch OFF once. Wait at least 10 seconds and then turn it ON (engine stopped) again.
If the DTC is not for CVT related items (see EC-94, "DTC Index"), skip step 1.

Erase DTC in TCM. Refer to TM-105, "Description".
Select вЂњENGINEвЂќ using CONSULT.
Select вЂњSELF-DIAG RESULTSвЂќ.
