Inspection Procedure

HINT:

  1. CHECK DTC 
    1. Clear the DTC (See FAIL-SAFE CHART  ).
    2. Turn the engine switch off.
    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG) again and check that no CAN communication system DTC is output.
    4. Start the engine.
    5. Drive the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to the right and left at the speed of 24 mph (35 km/h) to check that a DTC is output (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR  , BC-54 (2GR-FSE) and BC-296 (1UR-FSE)).
