2. CHECK/CLEAR DTC (USING SST CHECK WIRE)

(a) Check DTC.

(1) Make sure that the ignition switch is off.

(2) Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.

SST : 09843-18040

NOTICE:
Do not connect the wrong terminals as this will cause damage.









(3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(4) Read the DTCs output from the KDSS indicator light in the combination meter.

HINT
* When only 1 DTC is stored, the KDSS indicator light outputs the same code after an interval of 4 seconds. Example: When DTC 31 is stored, the light blinks 3 times, turns off for 1.5 seconds, blinks once, turns off for 4 seconds, and then repeats this output pattern.
* When 2 or more DTCs are stored, the KDSS indicator light outputs the codes with an interval of 2.5 seconds between each different code, and the output of all codes repeats after an interval of 4 seconds.
(5) Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System for DTC information.

(6) After completing the check, remove SST check wire from the DLC3.
