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.
Diagnostic System
The ECU of the TCCS is equipped with a self-diagnostic system which detects system failures or abnormalities. When a malfunction occurs, the ECU lights the "CHECK ENGINE" lamp located on instrument panel.
By analyzing various signals, the ECU detects system malfunctions which are related to various operating parameter sensors. The ECU stores failure codes associated with the detected failure until the diagnosis system is cleared. Clear the diagnosis system by removing the "STOP" fuse with ignition switch in "OFF" position.
A "CHECK ENGINE" warning light on instrument panel informs driver that a malfunction has been detected. The light goes out automatically when malfunction has been cleared.
