How to Display DTCs on the MID of the Gauge Control Module

Enter the B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode 1 (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE 1 AND TEST MODE 2 (WITHOUT THE HDS)  ). While in Test Mode 1, with normal communication between the MICU and gauge control module, the DTCs which have been detected and stored individually by various B-CAN (Body-Controller Area Network) units are shown one by one on the multi-information display. To scroll through the DTCs, press the SEL/RESET button.
