Procedure to Clear Warning Lights (When not Clearing DTCs)

Procedure
Repair or replacement. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Drive the vehicle at 11 km/h (7 mph) or more for 1 second or more to clear the warning lights.

PROCEDURE

PRE-CHECK

(a) Check that all 4 tires are of correct size, are inflated to the correct pressure, and do not show excessive signs of wear.

HINT:

If a tire is deformed or an incorrectly sized tire or wheel is installed, this DTC may be stored.

2.	CHECK FREEZE FRAME DATA (WHEEL SPEED)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Select a DTC to display the Freeze Frame Data.

(e) Read the freeze frame data of DTC C050C1C or C05121C.
