ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC 
FOREWORDA6E857001038201Outline
•When the customer reports a vehicle malfunction, verify the DTC, then diagnose the malfunction according to 
following flowchart.
—If a DTC exists, diagnose according to the applicable DTC inspection (See U–22–2 DTC TABLE.)
—If a DTC exists, diagnose according to the applicable symptom troubleshooting (See U–26 
TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX.)
Read/clear diagnostic results
•This function allows you to read or clear DTCs in the water heater unit. 
DTCs Reading Procedure
1. Perform the necessary vehicle preparation and visual inspection.
2. Connect SST (WDS or equivalent) to the vehicle 
DLC-2 16-pin connector located as shown in the 
figure.
3. Retrieve DTCs using WDS or equivalent.
KOEO Self Test/Combustion Test
1. Connect the SST (WDS or equivalent) to the 
vehicle DLC-2 16-pin connector located as shown 
in the figure.
2. Select the “Supplemental Heater Test” in the 
“Supplemental Heater Menu” of the “Guided 
Diagnosis” function.
3. Perform the KOEO Self Test/Combustion Test.
Note
•If the water heater unit is operating, the 
water heater unit will reject the test 
command. Perform the DTC reading 
procedure after the water heater unit stops 
operating.
End Of Sie
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC
Repair the malfunctioning part by following the 
DTC inspection, referring to DTC TABLE.Connect the SST (WDS or equivalent).
Perform the KOEO Self Test/Combustion 
Test.
Are any DTCs displayed?

After Repair Procedure
1. Connect the SST (WDS or equivalent) to the 
vehicle DLC-2 16-pin connector located as shown 
in the figure.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Perform the DTCs reading procedure and record 
any DTCs that are retrieved.
4. Clear the DTCs using the SST (WDS or 
equivalent).
5. Verify that the customer’s concern has been 
resolved.
Lockout Reset
Using the SST (WDS or equivalent)
1. Connect the SST (WDS or equivalent) to the 
vehicle DLC-2 16-pin connector located as shown 
in the figure.
2. Select “CLR_LOCKOUT” and “LOCKOUT”.
3. Turn “CLR_LOCKOUT” to ON using the 
simulation function.
4. Verify that the “LOCKOUT” reading changes to 
“Unlocked”.
Not using the SST (WDS or equivalent)
For factory equipped water heater unit
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Remove the HEATER 20 A fuse from the main 
fuse block for more than 5 seconds.
3. Re-install the HEATER 20 A fuse.
For vehicles with a transmitter or timer
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Remove the power supply 20 A fuse from the 
heater wiring harness for approx. 3 seconds.
3. Re-install the power supply 20 A fuse.
4. Press and hold down the ON switch of the 
transmitter or timer for approx. 3 seconds.
5. Remove the power supply 20 A fuse from the 
heater wiring harness for approx. 3 seconds.
6. Re-install the power supply 20 A fuse.
