On-Board Diagnostic Test Mode [FW6A-EL]

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE [FW6A-EL]

Foreword

- The on-board diagnosis test displays DTCs for locations determined to be malfunctioning based on the operation results from the forced operation of each solenoid and selection of each gear. Therefore, this is an effective mode if DTCs which do not specify the malfunctioning location, such as a gear ratio malfunction, are displayed.
- When the following DTCs displayed, perform the on-board diagnostic test.





- When DTCs are displayed by the on-board diagnosis test, perform the instructions in the applicable DTC troubleshooting.

WARNING:
- The on-board diagnosis test forcibly changes gears within the driving shift range while the engine is running. Before implementing the on-board diagnosis test, securely apply the parking brake and set the wheel blocks for both the front and rear wheels. Otherwise, the vehicle will move which could cause injury or property damage.

NOTE:
- The time required to perform the diagnostic is 2 to 3 min.
- If unsafe actions such as shift operation and brake pedal release are detected before the AT warning light flashes, the on-board diagnostic test mode is canceled and the AT warning light flashes 5 times.
