Displaying & Reading Trouble Codes

Code Extraction Procedure

Self-Diagnosis:






Indication of Failure

Power Lamp Indication:




When any self-diagnostic item is malfunctioning, the display on the power indicator blinks immediately after the engine starts.

The malfunctioning part or unit can be determined by a trouble code during self-diagnosis operation. Problems which occurred previously can also be identified through the memory function.

If the power indicator does not show a problem (although a problem is occurring), the problem can be determined by checking the performance characteristics of each sensor using the Select Monitor.


Trouble Code Indication
The power indicator light flashes the code corresponding to the faulty part.

How To Read Trouble Codes:




The long segment (1.2 sec on) indicates a "ten", and the short segment (0.2 sec on) signifies a one.
