Road Test Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Road test the vehicle. Make fifteen to twenty upshifts so all gear ranges are complete.
  2. Perform these shifts from a standing start to 72 Km/h (45 mph) with a constant throttle opening of 20 to 25 degrees.
  3. With speeds below 40 Km/h (25 mph), make five to eight wide open throttle kickdowns to 1st gear. Allow at least 5 seconds each in 2nd and 3rd gear between each kickdown.
  4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
