MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN
1. TEST MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN FOR ECT
CAUTION:
Perform this drive pattern on a level surface and strictly observe the posted speed limits and traffic laws while driving.
HINT:
Performing this drive pattern is one method to simulate the TCM (ECT) malfunction detection conditions.
Some DTCs may not be detected through ordinary, everyday driving. Also, DTCs may not be detected through this drive pattern.
(a) Preparation for driving
(1) Warm up the engine sufficiently (engine coolant temperature is 60°C (140°F) or higher).
(2) Drive the vehicle when the atmospheric temperature is -10°C (14°F) or higher.
Some malfunctions are not detected when the atmospheric temperature is less than -10°C (14°F).
(b) Drive pattern
(1) Drive the vehicle through all the gears.
Stop → 1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th → 5th → 6th → 6th (lock-up ON).
(2) Confirm engine braking using the S position. While driving with S6 range selected and 6th gear operating with lock-up on, move the shift lever toward "-" to downshift from 6 to 5, 5 to 4, 4 to 3, 3 to 2, 2 to 1.
(3) Repeat the above drive pattern three times or more.
NOTICE:
HINT:
*1: Drive the vehicle at a speed in top gear that will cause lock-up to engage. The vehicle can be driven at a speed lower than that in the above diagram under the lock-up condition.
NOTICE:
It is necessary to drive the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes to detect DTC P0711 (ATF temperature sensor malfunction).
Open or Short Circuit in ABS Motor Relay Circuit (C0273/13)
DESCRIPTION
The ABS motor relay supplies power to the ABS pump motor. While the ABS is activated,
the ECU turns the motor relay on and operates the ABS pump motor.
If the voltage supplied to the motor relay (+BM) is below the DTCs detection
threshold due ...
Speed Signal Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The headlight leveling ECU assembly receives the vehicle speed signal from the
combination meter assembly.
HINT:
A voltage of 12 V or 5 V is output from each ECU and then input to the
combination meter. The signal is changed to a p ...
Rear window defogger
Clear the rear window using the defogger.
On/off
The defogger will automatically turn off after 15 or 60 minutes.
This operation time changes according to the ambient temperature and vehicle
speed.
Pressing the switch again also turns the defogger off. ...
