Refer to DTC Index.
 
 How to Erase Self-Diagnostic Results

Before erasing DTC memory, start the engine and drive at 30 km/h (19 MPH) or more for approximately 1 minute. Check that ABS warning lamp turns OFF.
NOTE:
When AWD warning lamp is ON with system malfunction of DTC “C1203”, run the vehicle at 30 km/h (19MPH) or more for a minute and check that ABS warning lamp is turned OFF. Then turn ignition switch OFF, and start the engine again. Otherwise AWD warning lamp may not turned OFF even if it is normal.
