CLEAR DTC |
(a) Clear the DTCs (See page ).
|
2. |
CHECK FOR DTC |
(a) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait 10 seconds.
(b) Check for DTCs (See page ).
Result |
Proceed to |
---|---|
DTC or B279A12 is output |
A |
DTC or B279A12 and other DTCs are output |
B |
HINT:
If DTCs other than DTC B279A12 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
