Entering the self-diagnostic function (without HDS)


Before doing the self-diagnostic function, check the No. 10 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and No. 23 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.

1. Push and hold the SEL/RESET switch button.


2. Turn the headlights ON.


3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).


4. Within 5 sec., turn the headlights OFF, then ON and OFF again.


5. Within 5 sec., release the SEL/RESET switch button, and then push and release the button three times repeatedly.


NOTE:
While in the self-diagnostic mode, the dash lights brightness controller operates normally.
While in the self-diagnostic mode, the SEL/RESET button is used to start the Beeper Drive Circuit Test and the Gauge Drive Circuit Check.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 2 km/h (1.2 mph) or the ignition switch is turned OFF, the self-diagnostic mode ends.

just try this as well and tell me if any error codes come up
