WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When using the Techstream with the ignition switch off to troubleshoot:

    Connect the Techstream to the vehicle and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5 second intervals until communication between the Techstream and vehicle begins.

  • Inspect the fuses and bulbs for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT:

As the combination meter assembly incorporates the accessory meter function, DTC B2662 is stored at the same time as B2661. The accessory meter assembly does not support LIN communication. Therefore, if DTCs B2661 and B2662 are stored, check for communication disruptions between the drive monitor switch and the combination meter assembly.
