Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions

NOTICE: When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (excluding LEXUS hand-held tester) to check the DTC, use normal mode. For codes on the DTC chart subject to "2 trip detection logic", turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is simulated the first time. Then repeat the simulation process again. When the problem has been simulated twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
