Verifying DTCs using security light

NOTE:
  • If multiple DTCs are detected, only those having the lowest numbers of those detected will be indicated by the security light.
  • A DTC is displayed ten times by switching the ignition ON once.
  1. Switch the ignition ON.
  2. Wait for approx. 1 min until the security light displays a DTC.
    NOTE:
    • When the ignition is switched ON with the following DTC detected, a DTC is displayed after the security light is flashed or illuminated for approx. 1 min.
      • If a DTC in the tens is detected, the security light flashes for approx. 1 min.
      • If a DTC in the twenties is detected, the security light illuminates for approx. 1 min.
    • If the security light turns off after approx. 3 s, verify the DTC using the M-MDS because the immobilizer system is normal or there is a DTC which cannot be verified by the security light.
  3. Read DTCs by the number of times the security light flashes as shown in the figure.
