Inspection With CONSULT-II (Self-Diagnosis)






CAUTION: If CONSULT-II is used with no connection of CONSULT-II CONVERTER, malfunctions might be detected in self-diagnosis depending on control unit which carry out CAN communication.

NOTE: CAN status indicates the condition of the CAN communication judged by each signal input.

Normal: If any malfunction were not found in the past, CAN status indicates "0". If CAN communication line had malfunction in the past, but at present it is operating normally, then CAN status indicates "39-1".

Malfunction: If there is a malfunction, CAN indicates "40".

After returning to normal condition, every time ignition switch is turned OFF from ON, the indication will change like "39"->"38"->"37"->"1". And if a malfunction is detected again, CAN status indicates "40". (Though returning to the normal condition, "0" is not indicated. To reset, select and press the "ERASE" on the "SELF DIAGNOSIS" screen.)

>> After print-out of the monitor items, refer to "Precautions When Using CONSULT-II" .
