Reading the DTC

HDS

1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.




2. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
4. Use the HDS to check for DTCs.
5. Read and record the DTC.
6. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for 10 seconds.
7. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
8. Do the troubleshooting procedure for the DTC.

HDS "SCS" Menu Method (retrieving the flash codes)




The SRS indicator (A) indicates the DTC by the number of blinks when the HDS is connected to the DLC (data link connector) (16P) (B).

1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Connect the HDS to the DLC (16P), and follow the HDS prompts in the "SCS" menu.
3. Make sure the SCS line is grounded, then turn the ignition switch ON (II). The SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds, and then goes off. Then it will blink to indicate the DTCs.
4. Read the DTC.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for 10 seconds.
6. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC (16P).







7. Proceed with the troubleshooting procedure for the DTC.




- Including the most recent problem, up to three different DTCs can be indicated (see example 1).
- In case of a continuous failure, the DTC will be indicated repeatedly (see example 1).
- In case of an intermittent failure, the SRS indicator will indicate the DTCs one time, then it will stay on (see example 2).
- If both a continuous and an intermittent failure occur, both DTCs will be indicated as continuous failures.
- When the system is normal (no DTC), the SRS indicator will stay on (see example 3).
- If the SRS indicator comes on continuously without a DTC, there may be a problem with the system.
- If the SRS indicator does not come on as indicated above, always check for an open or a short to ground in the SCS circuit before troubleshooting the system.
