  2. Make sure that output voltage of A/T fluid temperature sensor is within the range below.

    FLUID TEMP SEN: 0.4 - 1.5V 

    If out of range, drive the vehicle to decrease the voltage (warm up the fluid) or stop engine to increase the voltage (cool down the fluid).

  3. Select "1ST GR FNCTN P0731" of "DTC WORK SUPPORT" mode for "A/T" with CONSULT-II and touch "START".

    THROTTLE POSI: Less than 1.0/8 (at all times during step 4) Selector lever: D position (OD "ON") 

    • Check that "GEAR" shows "2" after releasing pedal.
