Warning Light Illumination Pattern
VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC) (DIAGNOSTICS)
10.Warning Light Illumination Pattern
A: INSPECTION
1) When warning lights or indicator lights do not illuminate in accordance with this illumination pattern, there
must be an electrical malfunction.
2) When warning lights or indicator lights remain constantly OFF, check the combination meter circuit or CAN
communication circuit.
3) When ABS warning light does not go off, check the combination meter circuit.
(1) Ignition switch (8) 1.5 seconds (12) Brake warning light (EBD warning
light)(2) OFF (9) VDC indicator light
(3) ON (10) VDC warning light and TCS OFF
indicator light
(13) Parking brake
(4) Engine start (14) Released
(5) ABS warning light (11) Several seconds (depending on
engine coolant temperature)(6) Light OFF
(7) Light ON

4) When the VDC indicator light, VDC warning light and TCS OFF indicator light do not go off, check the com-
bination meter circuit or CAN communication circuit.
NOTE:
•Even though the ABS warning light does not go off after 1.5 seconds from ABS warning light illumination,
the ABS system operates normally when the warning light goes off while driving at approximately 12 km/h (7
MPH). However, the ABS system does not work while the ABS warning light is illuminated.
•It may take several minutes before VDC warning light and TCS OFF indicator light goes off if the vehicle
is parked under low temperature for a specified time. This is not defective because it is resulted from low en-
gine coolant temperature.
•With the vehicle jack-up/lift-up or set on free rollers, when the wheels lock or spin after starting the engine,
ABS warning light, VDC warning light and TCS OFF indicator light may illuminate because VDCCM&H/U de-
tects the abnormal conditions from ABS wheel speed sensors. In this case, this is not a malfunction. Perform
the clear memory mode.

LIGHT DO NOT COME ON
DETECTING CONDITION:

not operate any more. When turning the ignition switch from OFF to ON, the OFF operation enabled status
is restored.
