TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

SELF-DIAG RESULT MODE

Drive at 30 km/h or more for approximately 1 minute before performing the self-diagnosis.

Display Item List

CAUTION:

• If “CAN COMM CIRCUIT [U1000]” is displayed with other DTCs, first perform the trouble diagnosis for CAN communication

line.

• Make sure that ABS warning lamp turns OFF by driving for a minute at vehicle speed of 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more after turn-

ing ignition switch “OFF” if AWD warning lamp turns ON with system malfunction of “ABS SYSTEM [C1203]”. AWD warning
lamp may not turn OFF if it is normal unless ignition switch turns OFF at once and engine restarts after that.

How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results

Before erasing DTC memory, start the engine and drive at 30 km/h or more for approximately 1 minute.
Checkthat ABS warning lamp turns OFF.
NOTE:
Make sure that ABS warning lamp turns OFF by driving for a minute at vehicle speed of 30 km/h (19
MPH) or more after turning ignition switch “OFF” if AWD warning lamp turns ON with system malfunc-
tion of “ABS SYSTEM [C1203]”. AWD warning lamp may not turn OFF if it is normal unless ignition
switch turns OFF at once and engine restarts after that.
