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.
10. Perform ICC system running test (drive vehicle with ICC system ON), and make sure that ICC warning
lamp does not illuminate.
Self-Diagnostic Erasing Method
1. Stop the vehicle and turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn ignition switch ON and start self-diagnosis.
3. During self-diagnosis mode, press CANCEL switch 5 times, and DISTANCE switch 5 times within a 10
second time period.
CAUTION:

Switch inputs must be received within a 10 second time period.

When operation is not completed within 10 seconds start again from step 1.
4. DTC 55 will be shown.
CAUTION:
DTC of an existing malfunction will not be erased.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF to exit the diagnosis.
6. Perform ICC system running test (drive vehicle with ICC system ON), and make sure that ICC system
warning lamp (orange) does not illuminate.
