When The Scan Tool Is Used

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Remove the trunk room side trim lid on the right of the trunk room.
    CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK (OFF)" position before connecting or disconnecting the scan tool.
  2. Set the scan tool to the 16-pin data link connector. (Refer to HOW TO CONNECT THE SCAN TOOL (M.U.T.-III)  ).
  3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  4. Using the scan tool, forcibly activate the hydraulic unit (item No. 03) to reduce the pressure inside the accumulator. (Refer to ACTUATOR TEST TABLE ).
    NOTE:
    • With the forced activation (oil level check mode), the hydraulic unit direction valve is operated 20 times to right and left, and then the operation is canceled automatically. Also, using the clear key on the scan tool, the activation can be forcibly canceled.
    • When the functions are suspended by the fail-safe function, the hydraulic unit cannot be forcibly activated.
  5. Check that the oil reservoir fluid level is in between MAX and MIN.
  6. If the fluid level is not in between MAX and MIN, fill the specified fluid.

    Specified fluid: DIAMOND ATF-SP III
