Description

Dtc output mode is set by connecting terminals tc and cg of the dlc3.

The dtcs are displayed by blinking the srs warning light.

Hint:
  • Make sure that dtc b1281 has not been output. If dtc b1281 has been output, refer to the multiplex communication system.
  • When each warning light keeps blinking, a ground short in the wiring of terminal tc of the dlc3 or an internal ground short in each ecu is suspected.
