PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK DTC OUTPUT

(a) Check for DTCs (See page Result ).

Result

Result	Proceed to
Only DTC C1AE7 is output	A
DTC C1AE7 and C1AED are output	B
No DTCs are output	C

GO TO DTC (C1AED)

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

2.	REPLACE NO. 1 ULTRASONIC SENSOR (REAR CENTER SENSOR LH)

(a) Replace the No. 1 ultrasonic sensor (rear center sensor LH) with a known good one (See page HINT: ).
