DTC Troubleshooting Index

To retrieve the DTC, you must run the self-diagnostic function (see CANCELING THE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION ). In the case of multiple problems, the respective indicator segments will come on. If indicator segments C, I, and L come on at the same time, there may be an open in the common ground wire of the sensors.
