2. CHECK DLC3

(a) Check the DLC3 (See page ).

3. LIST OF OPERATION METHODS

(a) By operating each of the air conditioning control switches as shown in the diagram below, it is possible to enter the diagnostic check mode.

4. INDICATOR CHECK

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ACC and wait at least 5 seconds.

(c) Press and hold the air conditioning control "AUTO" switch and "recirculation/fresh" switch simultaneously, and turn the ignition switch to ON. Continue holding the 2 switches until panel diagnosis mode begins.
