Diagnostic trouble codes which are not listed may be indicated, but they cannot be inspected.

(While performing the inspection, if you want to inspect a diagnostic trouble code of which the number is smaller than the code number you are currently inspecting, terminate the check mode then repeat the inspection from the beginning.)

The diagnostic trouble codes can be fast-forwarded by pushing and holding the odometer/tripmeter switch for 1 second or more.
