ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)

1. PREPARATION FOR THE INSPECTION 
MODE

1) Check that the battery voltage is 12 V or more
and fuel remains approx. half [20 — 40 

2 (5.3 —

10.6 US gal, 4.4 — 8.8 Imp gal)].
2) Lift up the vehicle using a garage jack and place
it on rigid racks, or drive the vehicle onto free roll-
ers.

WARNING:
• Before lifting up the vehicle, ensure parking
brakes are applied.
• Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a rig-
id rack.
• Secure a rope or wire to the front or rear tow-
ing hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front
wheels.
• Before rotating the wheels, make sure that
there is no one in front of the vehicle. Besides
while the wheels are rotating, make sure that no
one approaches the vehicle front side.
• Make sure that there is nothing around the
wheels. For AWD model, pay special attention
to all four wheels.
• While servicing, do not depress or release
the clutch pedal or accelerator pedal quickly re-
gardless of the engine speed. Quick operation
may cause the vehicle to drop off the free roller.
• To prevent the vehicle from slipping due to
vibration, do not place anything between rigid
rack and the vehicle.

A: PROCEDURE

For the troubleshooting, there are driving patterns described below. Driving in the specified pattern allows to
diagnose malfunctioning items listed below. After the repair of the following trouble items, be sure to drive the
vehicle with the specified drive patterns to check whether the function is resumed correctly.

1. PREPARATION FOR DRIVE CYCLE

1) Check that the battery voltage is 12 V or more and fuel remains approx. half [20 — 40 

2 (5.3 — 10.6 US

gal, 4.4 — 8.8 Imp gal)].
2) After performing the diagnostics and clearing the memory, check that no DTC remains. <Ref. to
EN(H4DOTC)(diag)-52, Clear Memory Mode.>
3) Disconnect the delivery (test) mode connector.

NOTE:
• Except for the water temperature specified at starting, be sure to carry out the diagnosis after the engine
is warmed up.
• Perform the diagnosis twice if the DTC marked with *. After completing the first diagnosis, stop the engine
and perform second diagnosis in same condition.
