^ For detailed operation procedure, refer to the Vehicle Diagnostic Interface OPERATION MANUAL.
^ For detailed concerning the DTC, refer to the LIST OF DTC.
^ A maximum of 3 DTCs are displayed in order of occurrence.
^ If a particular DTC is not properly stored in memory (due to a drop in ABSCM&H/U power supply, etc.) when a problem occurs, the DTC, followed by a question mark "?", appears on the Vehicle Diagnostic Interface display. This shows it may be an unreliable reading.
