BCM Self-Diagnosis Function

BCM Self-Diagnosis Function

- When an abnormality in the system is detected, "Clock/Temp. display" (1) keeps flashing and the area where that abnormality lies is stored in the memory of EEPROM in BCM.







- When Diagnosis switch terminal (3) of BCM monitor connector is grounded, the abnormal area is output as DTC
If any malfunction code is existing, "Clock/Temp. display" (1) indicates DTCs in number order at every 3 seconds.
