   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   IDLE STOP INHIBIT (BATTERY DETERIORATION)	INHIBITED

   Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   Replace the 12 volt battery .

   NO 

   Go to step 4.

4. Do the auto idle stop system inspection .

   NOTE: 

   • Some prohibited condition of the auto idle stop system can be checked by the parameter of the HDS. Check the following parameters while a vehicle stops. If the parameter is indicated INHIBITED, the auto idle stop is prohibited by its item.
   • If the IDLE STOP INHIBIT (BATTERY DETERIORATION) is INHIBITED, do the 12 volt battery internal resistance reset procedure , then recheck. If INHIBITED is still displayed after reset procedure, Replace the 12 volt battery , then do the 12 volt battery internal resistance reset procedure , and recheck.
   • There is a parameter that is not supported by the application. Parameters that are not supported will not be displayed.
