* Since the stored data in the ECM is erased by disconnecting the EFI MAIN and ETCS fuses or the battery terminal, do not disconnect them until the inspection has been completed.

* If the indicator check result shows a problem, proceed to troubleshooting for the combination meter section How To Proceed With Troubleshooting.
* If a malfunction occurs in the vehicle speed sensors, the stop light switch, or other related parts during cruise control driving, the ECU actuates AUTO CANCEL of the cruise control and blinks the cruise main indicator light. This indicator light informs the driver of the malfunction. At the same time, the malfunction is stored as a diagnostic trouble code.
