Warning Light Illumination Pattern: Inspection
NOTE:
- Hill start assist warning light always illuminates when the hill start assist is in the OFF mode.
- The hill hold indicator light always illuminates when the hill hold is in the ON mode.
- When warning lights or indicator lights do not illuminate in accordance with this illumination pattern, there must be an electrical malfunction.
- When the warning lights or indicator lights remain constantly OFF, check the combination meter circuit. <Ref. to EBD WARNING LIGHT, ABS WARNING, VDC OFF INDICATOR LIGHT, VDC WARNING LIGHT AND VDC INDICATOR LIGHT DO NOT COME ON , Warning Light Illumination Pattern.> <Ref. to HILL START ASSIST WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON , Warning Light Illumination Pattern.> <Ref. to ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT, HILL HOLD INDICATOR LIGHT DO NOT COME ON , Warning Light Illumination Pattern.>
- When the ABS warning light, VDC OFF indicator light, VDC warning light & VDC indicator light, and hill start assist warning light do not go off, check the combination meter circuit or CAN communication circuit. <Ref. to

HILL START ASSIST WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF , Warning Light Illumination Pattern.>NOTE:
- Even when the ABS warning light and the VDC warning light & VDC indicator light do not go off in 2 seconds after illuminating, the ABS and VDC functions are normal if the warning lights go off while the vehicle is driven. However, while these lights are on, the functions with their warning lights illuminated do not operate.
- It may take several minutes before the VDC warning light & VDC indicator light goes off, if the vehicle is parked under low temperature for a specified time. This is not defective because it is resulted from low engine coolant temperature. Perform the Clear Memory Mode because DTC may be recorded at this time. <Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE .>
- With the vehicle jack-up/lift-up or set on free rollers, when the wheels lock or spin after starting the engine, ABS warning light, and VDC warning light & VDC indicator light may illuminate because VDCCM & H/U detects the abnormal conditions from ABS wheel speed sensor or longitudinal G sensor. In this case, this is not a malfunction. Perform the Clear Memory Mode. <Ref. to CLEAR MEMORY MODE .>
- When operation and release of the electronic parking brake is repeated excessively, the electronic parking brake warning light may illuminate or the electronic parking brake operation indicator light may blink and then the parking brake switch operation may not be accepted; this is not malfunction.
- Warning light illumination pattern at VDC mode change
If illumination patterns of the VDC OFF indicator light and the VDC traction mode indicator light do not match the followings when the VDC OFF switch is operated, check the VDC OFF switch circuit, CAN communication circuit or combination meter circuit. <Ref. to VDC TRACTION MODE , VDC MODE DOES NOT CHANGE, Warning Light Illumination Pattern.>
- Warning light illumination pattern at hill start assist OFF mode change (model without EyeSight) When the VDC OFF switch is kept pressed, VDC OFF indicator light illuminates, then goes off in approx. 30 seconds. If the switch is released in 5 seconds after the light goes off then pressed again in 2 seconds, hill start assist warning light illuminates then mode is changed to hill start assist OFF mode. If hill start assist function ON/OFF does not change, check VDC OFF switch circuit, CAN communication circuit or combination meter circuit. <Ref. to
