ASC Diagnostic Trouble Code Detection Conditions

ASC diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are set under different conditions, depending on the malfunction detected. Most ASC DTCs will only be set during vehicle operation. Some ASC DTCs will also be set during the ASC self-check immediately after the engine is started.

Some operational characteristics may seem to be malfunctions, but they are simply signs of normal ASC operation. When diagnosing the ASC system, keep these operational characteristics in mind. Inform the owner of the kind of performance characteristics to expect from an ASC-equipped vehicle.

When you check if an ASC DTC will be displayed again after the DTC has been erased, you should duplicate the ASC DTC set conditions. Depending on the detection timing and set conditions for the specific ASC DTC, you must either drive the vehicle or turn the engine off and restart it. To set the proper conditions for that DTC again, refer to "ASC DTC SET CONDITIONS" for each ASC DTC that you are trying to reset.
