DTC CHECK / CLEAR

1. DTC CHECK (NORMAL MODE)
NOTE: When the diagnostic system is switched from normal mode to check mode, all the DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode are erased. So before switching modes, always check the DTCs and freeze frame data, and note them down.

(a) Check DTCs using a Techstream.
(1) Turn the ignition switch off.
(2) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
(4) Select the following items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
(5) Read the DTCs and freeze frame data displayed on the tester and note them down.
NOTE: When simulating symptoms with a Techstream to check the DTCs, use normal mode. For DTCs in the DTC chart, which are subject to 2-trip detection logic, perform the following.

Turn the ignition switch off after the symptom is simulated once. Then repeat the simulation process again. When the problem has been simulated twice, the MIL illuminates and the DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
2. DTC CLEAR
(a) Clear the DTCs: When using a Techstream.
(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
(3) Select the following items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
(4) Erase the DTCs.
HINT: When operating the Techstream to erase the DTCs, the freeze frame data are also erased.

(b) Clear the DTCs: When not using a Techstream.
(1) Disconnect the battery terminal or remove the EFI and ETCS fuses from the engine room J/B for 60 seconds or more.
