CHECK DTC (USING SST (CHECK WIRE))




a. Check for DTCs (Present trouble code).
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and wait for approximately 60 seconds.
2. Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.

SST 09843-18040

NOTE: Connect the terminals to the correct positions to avoid a malfunction.




b. Check for DTCs (Past trouble code).
1. Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.

SST 09843-18040

NOTE: Connect the terminals to the correct positions to avoid a malfunction.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and wait for approximately 60 seconds.

c. Read the DTCs.
1. Read the blinking patterns of the DTCs. Examples of the blinking patterns for a normal system code, and DTCs 11 and 31 are shown in the illustration.

- Normal system code indication (without past trouble code): The light blinks twice per second.
- Normal system code indication (with past trouble code): When the past trouble code is stored in the center airbag sensor assembly, the light blinks only once per second.
- Trouble code indication:
The first blinking pattern indicates the first DTC. If there are more than 1 code, there will be a 2.5 second pause between each code. After all codes are shown, there will be a 4.0 second pause, and they all will be repeated.

HINT:
- If 2 or more malfunctions are found, the indication begins with the smaller numbered code.
- If DTCs are indicated without connecting the terminals, proceed to the "TC terminal circuit".
