After indicator lamps turns on for 2 seconds then off for 2 seconds, it flashes [cycling ON (0.5 sec.)/OFF (0.5 sec.)] to indicate a malfunction code of the first digit. Then, 1.5 seconds after indicator lamps turns off, it again flashes [cycling ON (0.5 sec.)/OFF (0.5 sec.)] to indicate a malfunction code of the second digit.

For example, the indicator lamps goes on and off for 0.5 seconds twice and after 1.5 seconds, it goes on and off for 0.5 seconds four times. This indicates malfunction code of driver control units communication.

NOTE:
  • For a specific local control unit (LCU), either "PAST COMM DATA" or "PAST NO RESPONSE" may be displayed instead of the above results. This is caused by the data record, so erase the records.

    (The display only shows the incident records, they are not malfunctions caused during the diagnosis. One possible cause is that an reproducible incident occurred.)

  • Follow the steps below to erase the memory

    Perform either disconnect BCM battery power supply or erase memory with CONSULT-II.

  • With the battery connected, if the local control unit (LCU) connector is disconnected and left for approximately 1 minute, the BCM stores "NO RESPONSE" record.
