How To Perform Mode I





Description
In this mode, a malfunction code is indicated by the number of flashes from the front map lamps and step lamps as shown in the diagram:
After indicator lamp turns on for 2 seconds then off for 2 seconds, it flashes [cycling ON (0.5 sec.)/OFF (0.5 sec.)] to indicate a malfunction code of the first digit. Then, 1 second after indicator lamp turns off, it again flashes [cycling ON (0.5 sec.)/OFF (0.5 sec.)] to indicate a malfunction code of the second digit.
For example, the indicator lamp goes on and off for 0.5 seconds twice and after 1.0 second, it goes on and off for 0.5 seconds four times. This indicates malfunction code "24".
