- NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (STPO CIRCUIT)
- OK: GO TO NEXT STEP
- RECONFIRM PTC
- Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).
- Check if the same DTC is detected (see DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).
HINT:
Reinstall the sensors, connectors, etc. and restore the previous vehicle conditions before rechecking for DTCs.
Result:
RESULT DESCRIPTIONDTC is output A DTC is not output B - B: END
- A: GO TO NEXT STEP
