Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Indicator LEDs of memory switch 1 and 2 blink when abnormal condition occurs to the parts relating to seat sliding, seat reclining and steering tilt as follows. When indicator LEDs are repeatedly blinking, conduct trouble diagnosis with CONSULT or on-board self-diagnosis system and repair malfunctioning parts as required.
After repair, please erase the data stored in Body Control Module (BCM) using CONSULT.

Malfunction Indication Input Abnormal Detection:




INPUT ABNORMAL
Detection

If "ON" signals sent from any of the manual switches under the vehicle conditions indicated in the following chart continues for a period of at least T1, the LEDs of memory switch 1 and 2 blink as an input malfunction.

Absolving
^ While LEDs are blinking, neither automatic drive positioner nor manual operation (which indicates a malfunction) is effected.
^ While LEDs are blinking, they go out as soon as switch input (which indicates a malfunction) is "OFF", releasing the "inoperative" mode.
However, in the following cases (where the "inoperative" mode is not released), a switch may be seized. Replace the affected switch.
1. CONSULT
After self-diagnosis is performed using CONSULT and the CONSULT and BCM are disconnected, LEDs still blink.
2. ON-BOARD (MODE V)
Although on-board self-diagnosis is not performed, LEDs blink.
^ After LEDs go out, if "AUTOMATIC EXISTING SETTING" for the automatic drive positioner is not effected, MEMORY, AUTOMATIC SET, etc., in relation to the automatic drive positioner will not be effected.

Malfunction Indication Output Abnormal Detection:




OUTPUT ABNORMAL
Detection

During the time the vehicle is being driven at speeds greater than 7 kph (4 mph), if any of the parts (indicated in the following chart) move more than the specified amount within a period of "T2" when no "ON" input is sent from any of the switches (indicated in the following chart) or an output from the automatic drive positioner is not produced, LEDs blink to indicate a malfunction.

Absolving
^ While LED is blinking, neither automatic drive positioner nor manual operation (which indicates a malfunction) is effected.
^ At the beginning of self-diagnosis using CONSULT or On-board, LED goes out and "inoperative" mode is canceled.
^ If "AUTOMATIC EXISTING SETTING" for automatic drive positioner is not being effected, MEMORY, AUTOMATIC SET, etc., relating to the automatic drive positioner cannot be effected.
