caution

Before replacing the ECU or sensor, ensure that the power supply circuit, the earth circuit and the communication circuit are normal.

The diagnosis code No.B120C is set when the voltage of the rechargeable battery is low, or when the battery inside the security alarm siren has an error.

note

The rechargeable battery integrated in the security alarm siren is charged by turning the ignition switch to the ON position.
