When the system is OK, each indicator comes on for about 2 seconds after turning the ignition switch to ON (II), then goes off.

When the system detects a problem, a DTC is set and, depending upon the failure, the VSA modulator-control unit determines which indicator(s) are turned on. If the problem goes away (system returns to normal), the indicator(s) are controlled in the following way depending upon the DTC that is set:

• The indicator(s) come on and stay on when the ignition switch is ON (II).
• The indicator(s) automatically go off.
• The indicator(s) go off after the vehicle is driven.
