Priority
Priority is not assigned to any of the flash codes. They are displayed depending on which code is identified first. If multiple faults are present only one will be flashed. That fault will need to be rectified before the next code will be made available.

If the driver warning lamp is inoperative and a fault occurs, an audible chime will be sounded 90 seconds after the ignition is turned ON.

NOTE: * = DTC used for more than one fault.
