Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)- The VTM-4 control unit can memorize up to seven different DTCs. The system displays the DTCs by blinking the VTM-4 indicator. Multiple DTCs are displayed in the order they occurred, beginning with the most recent.
- If the same DTC is detected more than once, the most recent DTC is written over the earlier one. Therefore, when the same problem is detected more than once, it is memorized as a single DTC.
- The DTCs are memorized in the EEPROM (non-volatile memory). Therefore, the memorized DTCs are not cleared when the battery is disconnected or the VTM-4 control unit is disconnected.
- If there is a problem in the central processing unit (CPU) of the VTM-4 control unit, the VTM-4 indicator comes on, but no DTC is memorized.
