DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1. INSPECTION START
Is it necessary to erase permanent DTC?
YES- GO TO 7.
NO- GO TO 2.
2. PRECONDITIONING
If DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.
1.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2.Turn ignition switch ON.
3.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
- GO TO 3.
3. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A-I
1.Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 10 seconds.
2.Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES- Proceed to .
NO- GO TO 4.
4. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
With CONSULT
1.Select "COOLAN TEMP/S" in "DATA MONITOR" of "ENGINE" using CONSULT.
2.Check "COOLAN TEMP/S" value.
With GST
Follow the procedure "With CONSULT" above.
"COOLAN TEMP/S" less than 60�C (140�F)?
YES- INSPECTION END
NO- GO TO 5.
5. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A-II
With CONSULT
1.Cool engine down until "COOLAN TEMP/S" is less than 60�C (140�F).
2.Wait at least 10 seconds.
3.Check 1st trip DTC.
With GST
Follow the procedure "With CONSULT" above.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES- Proceed to .
NO- GO TO 6.
6. PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK (FOR MALFUNCTION B)
Perform component function check. .
NOTE:
Use the component function check to check the overall function of the FTT sensor circuit. During this check, a
1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- INSPECTION END
NO- Proceed to .
7. PRECONDITIONING
If DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.
1.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2.Turn ignition switch ON.
3.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
TESTING CONDITION:
-Before performing the following procedure, do not add fuel.
-Before performing the following procedure, check that fuel level is between 1/4 and 4/4.
-Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is 11 V or more at idle.
- GO TO 8.
8. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE B
1.Start engine and let it idle for 60 minutes.
2.Move the vehicle to a cool place.
NOTE:
Cool the vehicle in an environment of ambient air temperature between 10�C (14�F) and 35�C (95�F).
3.Turn ignition switch OFF and soak the vehicle for 12 hours.
CAUTION:
Never turn ignition switch ON during soaking.
NOTE:
The vehicle must be cooled with the food open.
4.Start engine and let it idle for 5 minutes or more.
CAUTION:
Never turn ignition switch OFF during idling.
5.Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES- Proceed to .
NO- INSPECTION END
Component Function Check
