  1. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Check DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
      1. Confirm if DTC C1761/61 and/or C1774/74 is recorded.

        OK

        DTC C1761/61 and/or C1774/74 is not output.

        HINT: 

        If either DTCC1761/61 (ECU malfunction) or C1774/74 (power source circuit) is displayed, carry out the necessary inspection. If they are output at the same time, carry out the necessary inspection for DTC C1774/74 first.
