Title: CELLULAR COMMUNICATION: SAFETY CONNECT SYSTEM: B1571; Manual (SOS) Switch Green Indicator Malfunction; 2018 - 2019 MY Camry [06/2017 - 09/2019]

DTC

B1571

Manual (SOS) Switch Green Indicator Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is set when the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) detects an open or short in the manual (SOS) switch green indicator circuit of the manual (SOS) switch. The manual (SOS) switch green indicator illuminates after the engine switch is turned on (IG).

If the safety connect system is not active, the manual (SOS) switch green indicator will turn off.

If the safety connect system is active, the manual (SOS) switch green indicator will blink while communicating with the call center.

DTC No.
