  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Front Recognition Camera / Data List.

      Vehicle Information (Conv/HV)

      HINT: 

      • If "Unknown" is displayed, the ECM cannot send vehicle information or the forward recognition camera cannot store the vehicle information. Check for DTCs, replace the ECM if necessary and recheck for DTCs. If the DTC is output again, replace the forward recognition camera.
      • If "Unknown" is not displayed, the DTC is stored even though the vehicle information is stored in the forward recognition camera. Replace the forward recognition camera.
