CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

If the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is replaced, register the key (See page ).

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK DTC OUTPUT

(a) Clear the DTCs (See page ).

(b) Recheck for DTCs (See page ).

HINT:

If any DTCs other than DTC B279A are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

Result	Proceed to
DTC B279A is output	A
DTC B279A and other DTCs are output	B
