When multiple malfunctions are detected, a maximum of 3 code numbers can be stored; the lat-
est malfunction will be displayed first.
6. Check ACS-36, "
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart" , and repair or replace if necessary.
7. After repair, erase DTC stored in the ICC unit. Refer to ACS-33, "
Self-Diagnostic Erasing Method"
8. DTC 55 will be shown.
9. Turn ignition switch OFF to exit the diagnosis.
