When the system detects a problem, it will turn the appropriate indicators on. Depending on the failure, the VSA modulator-control unit determines which indicators are turned on.

When the system is OK, each indicator comes on for about 2 seconds after turning the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode, then goes off.
