Multiplex Control System Troubleshooting
Special Tool Required:
MPCS Service Connector 07WAZ-001010A
- Check the driver's No. 9 and the passenger's No. 13 fuses.
Are the fuses OK?
- YES -Go to step 2.
- NO -Find and repair the cause of the blown fuse.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II). If the driver's seat belt is unbuckled, the seat belt reminder will beep five times.
- Check self-diagnosis function Mode 1 for a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) by connecting the special tool to the multiplex control inspection socket (A). After about 5 seconds, the ignition key light should come on and the beeper should beep for 2 seconds, go off for 0.2 second, then blink and beep for 0.2 second. This means that you are in Mode 1 of the self-diagnosis function.
