Diagnosing electronically controlled automatic transaxles is simplified by using the following procedures. One of the most important things to remember is that there is a definite procedure. Do not take short cuts or assume that critical checks or adjustments have already been made. Follow the procedures as written to avoid missing critical components or steps. By following the diagnostic sequence, the repair technician will be able to diagnose and repair the concern the first time.

- Parameter Identification (PID) access mode, used to monitor sensors and actuators.
- Freeze frame data access mode, used to view emission related data values from specific PIDs.
