Diagnosis Mode: Function

When self diagnosis mode is activated, the system switches to warning lights, indicators, needle movement, illumination or buzzer check mode (sports shift) each time the trip knob is pushed.

When diagnostic trouble code display mode is activated, the display switches to indicate engine control module, transmission control module, or ABS/VDC control module diagnostic trouble codes each time the trip knob is pushed. In addition to the type of control module, the display will show whether the diagnostic trouble codes are now being received, present, or not. If CAN communication is failed, "---" is displayed.
