INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
  1. If the ID code box is replaced, register the ECU code and ECU communication ID.
  2. If the ECM is replaced, register the ECU communication ID.

1.CHECK FOR DTC
  1. Clear the DTCs (Click here).

  1. Recheck for DTCs (Click here).

    HINT:
    If any DTCs other than B279A are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
