1. CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
Standard voltage: 11 to 14 V
If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge the battery before proceeding.
2. CHECK DLC3
(a) The ECU uses the ISO 15765-4 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.
NOTICE: *: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any other switches or the doors.
(b) If the result is not as specified, DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector.
HINT: Connect the cable of the intelligent tester to DLC3, turn the ignition switch to the ON position and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.
3. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) DTCs (Normal mode) (1) DTCs are memorized in the tire pressure warning ECU and read by the blinks of the tire pressure warning light or by using the intelligent tester (See page TW-34).
(b) Test mode
(1) By switching from normal mode into test mode (input signal check), you can inspect the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver, each tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, and vehicle speed sensor (See page TW-25).
(c) When there is a problem with the tire pressure warning system, the tire pressure warning light blinks at 0.5-second intervals, and turns on after 1 minute.
4. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(b) Check that the tire pressure warning light comes on for 3 seconds.
If the warning check result is not normal, proceed to the troubleshooting for the tire pressure warning light circuit.
5. TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR CHART
HINT: The table below indicates the state of the tire pressure warning light and indicator after the ignition switch ON.
*1: Comes on and goes off repeatedly at 0.5-second intervals, and comes on after 1 minute.
*2: Comes on and goes off repeatedly at 0.125-second intervals.
*3: Blinks 3 times (1 second on, 1 second off).
*4: Comes on and goes off repeatedly at 0.25-second intervals.

Solar Sensor Circuit (Driver Side)
DESCRIPTION
The solar sensor, which is installed on the upper side of the instrument
panel, detects sunlight and
controls the air conditioning in AUTO mode. The output voltage from the solar
sensor varies according to
the amount of sunlight. When the sunlight increases, the output voltage ...
If you have a flat tire
(vehicles with
run-flat tires)
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead you
can continue driving the vehicle with run-flat tires even if any
tire goes flat.
In this case, slow down and drive with extra caution.
Run-flat tires (A “RFT” or “DSST” mark is molded on the sidewall)
Take your vehicle to ...
