    HINT:
    - If the door warning light does not conform to DTC blinking patterns, or to the normal system code blinking pattern, inspect the multiplex communication system (see HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING ).
    - The door warning light circuit uses BEAN for communication. If there are any malfunctions in the circuit, check for DTCs in the multiplex communication system.
2. DTC clear
  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2. If DTCs are indicated, repair the relevant circuits referring to the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART (see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART ).
  3. Clear the DTCs according to either one of the following procedures.
    - Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable for 60 seconds.
    - Remove the ECU-B fuse for 60 seconds.
  4. Recheck the DTCs (see step a).

    Refer to the hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC MODE
OPERATING IGNITION KEY CYLINDER:
1. Switch to self-diagnostic mode.
  1. Establish the vehicle's initial conditions (see PRECAUTION ).
  2. Insert the key into the ignition key cylinder and remove it.
  3. Within 5 seconds after the key is removed, reinsert it into the ignition key cylinder.
  4. Turn the ignition switch on (IG) then off.
  5. Within 30 seconds of turning the ignition switch off, repeat step (4) 9 more times.
    HINT:
    - Turning the ignition switch on (IG), after step (5) has been completed, will end the self-diagnostic mode.
    - Do not lock or unlock doors while performing the self-diagnostic mode.
    NOTE: If the change to self-diagnostic mode fails, the system will return to normal mode.
2. Check that the system has switched to self-diagnostic mode by checking the sound pattern of the wireless door lock buzzer.
