Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview





The judgment conditions for fail-safe items are the same as the judgment conditions for the related diagnosis codes. If these related diagnosis codes are output 4 times in succession, a fail-safe item is recorded. Accordingly, if a fail-safe item is output, the diagnostic trouble codes will also be output at the same time. In addition, fail-safe codes lock the transaxle in 3rd or 2nd gear. Fail-safe will be canceled if the ignition switch is turned to OFF. The diagnostic trouble codes will remain.
