Run the Sensor Input Display Mode

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

2. Press and hold both the AUTO button and RECIRCULATION CONTROL button, then start the engine.

3. After the engine starts, release both buttons. The display panel control unit will flash the sensor number then the value for that sensor. Record the value displayed.

4. To advance to the next sensor, touch the REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER/MIRROR DEFOGGER* button*: With mirror defogger 5. To cancel the sensor input display mode, press the AUTO button or turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
