- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the ECM/PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see
DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING
).
- In the BRAKE SYSTEM MENU of the HDS, select EVPS, then check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and the freeze data, and note them. Then refer to the indicated DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING , and begin the appropriate troubleshooting procedure.
NOTE:
- Freeze data indicates the ECM/PCM conditions when the first system malfunction that activated the indicator was detected.
- The HDS can read the DTC, the freeze data, the current data, and other system data.
- For specific operations, refer to the
that came with the HDS.
