2AZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: CHECK MODE PROCEDURE

CHECK MODE PROCEDURE
HINT: Intelligent tester only:
Compared to the normal mode, check mode is more sensitive to malfunctions. Therefore, check mode can detect the malfunctions that cannot be detected by normal mode.
NOTE: All the stored DTCs and freeze frame data are erased if: 1) the ECM is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa; or 2) the ignition switch is turned from ON position to ACC position or off while in check mode.
Before changing modes, always check and make a note of any DTCs and freeze frame data.
