Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

NOTE: This is the only information provided by the manufacturer for clearing trouble codes for this system.

DTC CLEARANCE (Not using service wire)

When the ignition switch is turned off, the diagnostic trouble code is cleared.

HINT: DTC might not be cleared by turning the ignition switch OFF.
In this case, proceed to the next step.

DTC CLEARANCE (Using service wire)

a. Connect the 2 service wires to terminals Tc and AB of check connector.
b. Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for approx. 6 seconds.




c. Starting with the Tc terminal, ground alternately terminal Tc and terminal AB twice each in cycles of 1.0 second. Make sure that the terminals are grounded. Ensure the terminal Tc remain grounded.

HINT: When alternately grounding terminals Tc and AB, release ground from one terminal and immediately ground the other terminal within an interval of 0.2 seconds.

If DTCs are not cleared, repeat the above procedure until the codes are cleared.

d. Several seconds after doing the clearing procedure, the SRS warning light will blink in a 50-m sec. cycle to indicate the codes which have been cleared.

DTC CLEARANCE (Using hand-held tester)




a. Hook up the hand-held tester to the [1][2]DLC3.
