    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, confirm that battery voltage is 11 V or more at idle. 

      GO TO 3.

  3. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A-I
    1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
    5. Start engine and let it idle for 5 minutes and 10 seconds.
    6. Check 1st trip DTC.

      Is 1st trip DTC detected?

  4. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A-II

    With CONSULT

    1. Select "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.
    2. Check that "COOLAN TEMP/S" indicates above 60°C (140°F).

      If it is above 60°C (140°F), go to the following steps.

      If it is below 60°C (140°F), warm engine up until "COOLAN TEMP/S" indicates more than 60°C (140°F).

      Then perform the following steps.

    3. Turn ignition switch OFF and soak the vehicle in a cool place.
    4. Turn ignition switch ON.
      NOTE: Do not turn ignition switch OFF until step  8.
    5. Select "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.
    6. Check the following.
      COOLAN TEMP/S Below 40°C (104°F)
      INT/A TEMP SE Below 40°C (104°F)
      Difference between "COOLAN TEMP/S" and "INT/A TEMP SE" Within 6°C (11°F)

      If they are within the specified range, perform the following steps.

      If they are out of the specified range, soak the vehicle to meet the above conditions. Then perform the following steps.

      NOTE:
      • Do not turn ignition switch OFF.

      • 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 7.

  7. 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 hood open.
