SFI System: Precaution
- INITIALIZATION NOTE:
- Perform RESET MEMORY (AT initialization) when replacing the automatic transaxle assembly, engine assembly or ECM (See INITIALIZATION ).
- Perform REGISTRATION (VIN registration) when replacing the ECM (See REGISTRATION ).
HINT:
Initialization cannot be completed by only removing the battery.
- FOR USING INTELLIGENT TESTER CAUTION: Observe the following items for safety reasons:
- Before using the tester, read the instruction manual.
- Prevent the tester cable from being caught on the pedals, shift lever and steering wheel when driving with the tester connected to the vehicle.
- When driving the vehicle for testing purposes using the tester, two persons are required. One is for driving the vehicle, and the other operates the tester.
- FOR USING BATTERY DURING INSPECTION
- While using the battery during inspection, do not bring the positive and negative tester probes too close to each other as a short circuit may occur.
- COOLING FAN SYSTEM NOTE:
- When the ignition switch is turned off and the engine temperature is high, the cooling fans may operate for approximately 3 minutes.
- After turning the ignition switch off, keep hands and objects away from the fans when they are operating.
HINT:
If all of the following are met for a certain period of time during a few minute period immediately before the engine is stopped, the electric fans will continue to operate for 3 minutes after the engine is stopped. This is performed to ensure restartability and stabilize idle speed.
- The intelligent tester indicates a very high coolant temperature.
- The intelligent tester indicates a high outside air temperature.
- The vehicle has been driven under high load (driving on an uphill or equivalent).
The following sensors are used for this control:
- Coolant temperature sensor
- Outside air temperature sensor
- MAF sensor
- Vehicle speed sensors
