Using an OBD-II Scanner:

Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes DTCs: An OBD-II scanner can pull error codes from the vehicles computer that indicate sensor malfunctions, such as P0031 oxygen sensor heater circuit, P0100 MAF sensor, o r C0210 ABS sensor.
Interpret the Codes: The codes can be looked up in a service manual o r online to understand which sensor is causing the issue.
Clear Codes and Retest: After addressing the issue, the scanner can clear the codes to ensure the problem is resolved.

Do you have an OBD-II scanner, o r have you used one to troubleshoot sensor issues in your Hilux?
