1. Place the front wheels on a chassis roller or jack
up the front of the vehicle on level ground and
support it on safety stands.
2. Start the engine, and verify that the TCS OFF light
is out.
Note
• In order to protect the engine, if engine
coolant temperature is extremely low, TCS
control is temporarily interrupted until the
engine coolant temperature rises. In such
cases, the TCS OFF light illuminates.
3. If the light stays on after the engine is started and
reaches normal operating temperature, the
ABS/TCS control module detects a failure. In that
case, turn off the engine and follow the
troubleshooting procedures.

(ATX).
5. Depress the accelerater pedal for 5 seconds, and
verify that the engine speed is held low and the
TCS indicator light is flashing.
Note
• If the front wheels rotate for 60 seconds or
more, the ABS warning light, TCS indicator
light and TCS OFF lights illuminate, and the
engine speed increases. In that case, turn the
ignition switch to OFF and ON again, then
drive the vehicle faster than
10 km/h {6.2
mph}. Verify that those lights go out.
