DTC 1201

DTC 1201: DVD High Temp

NOTE:
- Check the vehicle battery condition first.
- Before you troubleshoot, make sure to follow the general troubleshooting information.
- This code sets when the internal temperature of the ECU rises above 158 °F (70 °C). The unit is designed to shut down to protect the ECU. This could be caused by an inoperative ECU fan or if the trunk temperature exceeded the maximum. Do the troubleshooting when the unit is within the allowable temperature range.

1. Check that the temperature is below 158 °F (70 °C) in the trunk.
2. Clear the hard error code.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then back to ON (II).
4. Check for the hard error code.
