- GO TO 2.

2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR FUNCTION

With CONSULT
1.Turn ignition switch ON.
2.Select "DATA MONITOR" mode of "ENGINE" using CONSULT.
3.Check that "COOLAN TEMP/S" is above 10�C (50�F).
With GST
Follow the procedure "With CONSULT" above.
Is it above 5�C (41�F)?
YES- INSPECTION END
NO- GO TO 3.

3. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
