Re: H3 FAQ - Acronyms & Definitions
 

Yesterday I thought I had a problem with my DI but the DIC gave me a DTC which cause me to wonder if maybe I should have ordered ESC if it was an option on my H3.

I also wondered FMVSS were being met as I tooled on down the raod. After abou a mile it started to get a little warm which made me wonder if the HCM has met the ISO.

You never know if the LTPI is correct if the MIL doen't have the NC 02S OE PTC.

So ..make sure You always check the DIC...:jump:
