DSC HU/Cm Removal/Installation: Notes

WARNING:
  • If the DSC HU/CM configuration is not completed, it could result in an unexpected accident due to the DSC being inoperative. If the DSC HU/CM is replaced, always use the automatic configuration function so that the DSC operation conditions are correct.
  • If the DSC related parts sensor initialization procedure is not completed, the DSC will not operate properly and it might cause an unexpected accident. Therefore, after replacing the DSC HU/CM, always perform the DSC related parts sensor initialization procedure to insure proper DSC operation.
CAUTION:
  • The internal parts of the DSC HU/CM could be damaged if dropped. Be careful not to drop the DSC HU/CM. Replace the DSC HU/CM if it is subjected to an impact.
NOTE:
  • When the ignition is switched to ON or the engine is started after the DSC HU/CM has been replaced, the DSC CM reads data from the instrument cluster via CAN communication to perform automatic configuration.
  • The DSC HU/CM prior to replacement stores the vehicle specification information.
  • A new DSC HU/CM does not store any vehicle specification information.
