What does this fault code mean?
This code is set only together with ECM-6300, and it means the ETS lamp could not light when it should. The malfunction indicator lamp takes the place of the ETS lamp. The code is a subsequent fault: put ECM-6300 right first, and then the code can be cleared.
Possible causes
- Other fault codes in the engine management system that light the ETS lamp
- The signal cable from the engine management system to the ETS lamp is short-circuited to voltage or ground, or is broken
What you can do
- 1Deal with ECM-6300 first, since this code follows from it
- 2With a diagnostic tool: read out the other fault codes and deal with them first
- 3Check the cable to the ETS lamp for breaks or short circuits
- 4Clear the code once the primary faults are fixed, and check that it does not come back
- 5If the fault remains, have a workshop check the control system
Symptoms you may notice1
- Symptoms vary depending on which other fault codes are stored
What the fault can affect1
- The malfunction indicator lamp takes the place of the ETS lamp
