1. PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING TECHSTREAM

(a) When using the Techstream to troubleshoot with the power switch off:

Connect the Techstream to the DLC3, and turn the courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5-second intervals until communication between the Techstream and vehicle begins.

(b) After all DTCs are cleared, check if the trouble occurs again 6 seconds after the power switch is turned on (IG).
