With Manufacturer's Scan Tool

Check the DTC

NOTE:
Hand-held tester only:
When the diagnostic system is switched from the normal mode to the check mode, all the DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in the normal mode will be erased. So before switching modes, always check the DTCs and freeze frame data, and note them down.

1. Prepare an OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or hand-held tester.
2. Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to the DLC3 at the lower of the instrument panel.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and press the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester switch ON.
4. Use the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to check the DTCs and freeze frame data and note them down (For operating instructions, see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book).
5. See Trouble Code Descriptions to confirm the details of the DTCs.
