Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK DRIVING PLACE.
Check if the vehicle ran the road with banks or 
sandy surface (which does not mean a dirt 
road).

Did the vehicle run the road 
with banks or sandy surface 
(which does not mean a dirt 
road)?

VDCCM&H/U may 
record DTC when 
the vehicle ran the 
road with banks or 
sandy surface 
(which does not 
mean a dirt road).

Go to step 2.
