DESCRIPTION
If the system detects some error while vehicle is running, it notifies
the driver of a malfunction
by turning ON the HICAS warning lamp,
and at the same time, it halts the normal control and enters the
fail-safe mode.

has been activated previously
Only an abnormal item is indicated by the pattern shown in the ~8 left figure. The pattern is repeated.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS RECORD
If a malfunction has occurred but is not recorded on seif-diagnosis,
it may be caused by some past malfunction. In such a case, past
malfunctions can be found
by selecting "TROUBLE DlAG
RECORD" in Diagnosis mode.
The "TROUBLE DlAG RECORD" can be selected for SRS air
bag system only.

The diagnosis modes are User mode and Diagnosis mode.
Switching between the two modes is accomplished by using
ignition switch
and driver door switch.
When lamp is not flashing (indicating no malfunction) in User mode, operating the door switch cannot change
the mode to Diagnosis mode.
When no malfunction is detected in Diagnosis mode, turning the ignition switch from "OFF" to "ON" changes
the mode to User mode. SRB0395D
