CHECK Mode Code Retrieval (Lexus Scan Tester Only)

Ensure vehicle battery is fully charged. Apply parking brake. Shift transmission/transaxle into Neutral (M/T) or Park (A/T). Turn A/C and all accessories off. Ensure throttle is in idle position.
Turn ignition off. Connect scan tester to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3. See Figure. DLC No. 3 connector is located in fuse box at lower left of instrument panel. Turn ignition on with engine off. Turn scan tester on.
Switch scan tester from NORMAL mode to CHECK mode. CHECK mode is operational if MIL on instrument cluster flashes. Start engine. Ensure MIL goes off. Try to simulate conditions of driveability complaint described by customer.
NOTE: If ignition is turned from ON to ACC or OFF position, all DTCs and freeze-frame data will be erased. DO NOT switch modes until all DTCs and freeze-frame data are recorded.
Record any DTCs and freeze-frame data displayed for system diagnosis. If driveability problem exists and no codes are present, go to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article for diagnosis by symptom.
If any DTCs are present, perform appropriate circuit test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION table. For more information on freeze-frame data, see FREEZE-FRAME DATA under INTRODUCTION. For information on 2-trip detection logic codes, see TWO-TRIP DETECTION LOGIC under INTRODUCTION.
After repairs for DTC have been completed, DTC must be cleared from ECM memory. See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .
