With Manufacturer's Scan Tool

Check the DTC

NOTE:
- If there is no DTC in normal mode, check the 1st trip DTC using the continuous Test Results function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979) on the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester.
- Hand-held tester only:
When the diagnosis system is switched from normal mode to check mode, it erases all DTCs and freezed frame data recorded in normal mode. So before switching modes, always check the DTCs and freezed frame data, and note them down.

1. Prepare the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or the hand-held tester.
2. Connect the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester to DLC3 under the instrument panel lower pad.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester switch ON.
4. Use the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester to check the DTCs and freezed frame data, note them down (For operating instructions, see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book.).

If there is no DTC in the normal mode, check the 1st trip DTC using the continuous Test Results function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979) or the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester.

5. See Trouble Code Descriptions to confirm the details of the DTCs.
