CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When the data in the ECM and skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is being overwritten, a message is displayed on the multi-information display and the indicator light rapidly blinks due to the 4 wheel drive control ECU detecting a communication malfunction (blinks at 0.25 second intervals (0.25 seconds on and 0.25 seconds off)), but this is not a malfunction.
Clear all DTCs, since DTCs are stored after the data in the ECM or skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is overwritten.
