DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

1.

PREPARATION BEFORE WORK

If another "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" occurs just before, turn ignition switch OFF and wait for at

least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.

>> GO TO 2.

2.

PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

With CONSULT

1. Turn ignition switch OFF and cool the engine.

2. Turn ignition switch ON.

CAUTION:

Never start the engine.

3. Select “Data Monitor” in “TRANSMISSION”.

4. Select “FLUID TEMP”.

5. Record CVT fluid temperature.

6. Start the engine and wait for at least 2 minutes.

7. Drive the vehicle for the total minutes specified in the Driving time column below with the following condi-

tions satisfied.

When the condition of the final judgment is 
satisfied after satisfying that of the provisional 
judgment:

-

Provisional judgment: All of the following con-
ditions are satisfied within 2 seconds after the 
ignition switch is turned ON.

Final judgment: When all of the following con-
ditions are satisfied and this state is main-
tained for 300 seconds:

•
