Note: DTCs can be displayed also by TECH 2. Use "Diagnostic Trouble Codes" mode.

1. How to start DTC display:
- Confirm that the vehicle has come to a complete stop (with the wheels standing still) and that the brake pedal is not depressed. (Unless these two condition are satisfied, DTC display cannot be started.)
- With IGN OFF, connect #12 terminal with #4 terminal or # 5 terminal (GND). Then turn IGN ON.
- Keep #12 terminal connected with #4 terminal or #5 terminal (GND) during DTC display. (If #12 terminal is separated from #4 terminal or #5 terminal (GND) during display, display will stop.)

2. DTC display:
- DTC is displayed by blinking warning light.
- Double-digit display.
- First, normal DTC 12 is displayed three times and then any other DTCs are displayed three times. (If no other DTCs have been stored, the display of DTC 12 will be repeated.)
