NOTE: If the following symptoms occur when the accelerator pedal is depressed, refer to "TROUBLESHOOTING  "
  1. If the TCL indicator lamp does not illuminate.
  2. If the TCL indicator lamp illuminates but the engine is not restrained.
CAUTION: Inspection should be completed within 20 seconds after the accelerator pedal was depressed. If it takes longer than 20 seconds, the TCL system function will stop and the engine speed will gradually increase.
CAUTION: Because the TCL OFF indicator will flash when the TCL system operation is stopped, the diagnosis codes should be erased if you notice that the indicator is flashing. (Refer to DIAGNOSIS  .)
