Quick Test 4.0 - Continuous Memory Codes
Continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are concerns which are detected during normal vehicle operation. These codes are retained for 40 warm-up cycles.Some special considerations for continuous testing include the following:
- The cause of some continuous DTCs may have been eliminated if KOEO and/or KOER DTCs were repaired. Always retest and repair any DTCs that still remain.
- If DTCs are present, go to the On-Board DTC Description Chart for repair information. Erase the DTC, perform the Transaxle Drive Cycle Test and repeat all Quick Test procedures after repairing the DTCs.
- If the continuous test passes (P1111) and a concern is still present, refer to the Diagnosis by Symptom charts and any applicable TSBs for concern diagnosis. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
