INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
* Select the SPORT mode by using the combination switch assembly, the hybrid system indicator changes to the tachometer. Before starting following inspection, confirm that the SPORT mode is selected.
* Before starting following inspection, check if the hybrid control system outputs DTCs Hybrid Control System.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

(a) Check if a CAN communication DTC is output Diagnosis System.

Result:





B -- GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM How to Proceed With Troubleshooting

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.

(e) Check the values by referring to the table below.

Combination Meter





NOTICE:
Enter the inspection mode Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

OK:

Engine speed displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the tachometer indication.

(f) Record the engine speed displayed on the Techstream.

HINT
Check the engine speed when the engine is fully warmed up, and the air conditioning and all electrical accessories are off.

NG -- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.
