CHECK DTC (USING SST CHECK WIRE)




a. Check the DTCs (Present trouble code).
1. Turn the power switch ON (IG), and wait for approximately 60 seconds.
2. Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

SST 09843-18040

NOTE: Connect the terminals to the correct positions to avoid a malfunction.

b. Check the DTCs (Past trouble code).
1. Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

SST 09843-18040

NOTE: Connect the terminals to the correct positions to avoid a malfunction.

2. Turn the power switch ON (IG), and wait for approximately 60 seconds.




c. Read the DTCs.
1. Read the blinking patterns of the DTCs. As examples, the blinking patterns for the normal system code and trouble codes 11 and 31 are shown in the illustration.
- Normal system code indication (w/o past trouble code)
The light blinks twice per second.
- Normal system code indication (w/ past trouble code)
When the past trouble code is stored in the center airbag sensor, the light blinks only once per second.
- Trouble code indication
The first blinking indicates the first DTC. The second blinking occurs after a 1.5-second pause.

If there are more than 1 code, there will be a 2.5-second pause between each code. After all codes are shown, there will be a 4.0-second pause, and they all will be repeated.

HINT:
- If 2 or more malfunctions are found, the indication begins with the smaller numbered code.
- If DTCs are indicated without connecting the terminals, proceed to the "TC and CG Terminal Circuit". Component Tests and General Diagnostics
