Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Service Check Signal Circuit Method
Press the parking brake pedal with the SCS circuit opened. Keep the pedal pressed during the entire DTC clearing procedure. Press and hold the TCS switch, then turn the ignition switch ON without starting the engine. Continue to hold the TCS switch for 4 seconds, then turn the ignition switch OFF.
Within 6 seconds, turn the ignition switch back ON for at least 4 seconds, then release the TCS switch, and watch the TCS indicator. After a few seconds, the TCS indicator will come on after blinking to indicate that the DTC is cleared. If the indicator blinks repeatedly, repeat previous steps. See Fig 1 .
