Inspection Procedure

When the pattern select (2ND) switch is pushed, switch contact is made and 2nd mode is selected. To cancel 2nd mode, push the pattern select (2ND) switch once again.

HINT:

2nd mode is automatically canceled when the engine switch is turned off.

  1. DRIVING TEST 

    HINT:

    The driving test should be performed on a paved road (nonskid road).

    1. Start the engine.
    2. Turn the 2ND switch off (normal drive mode).
    3. Confirm vehicle response by driving from a parked position to fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
    4. Turn the 2ND switch on and perform the same check as above.

      When driving the vehicle with the 2ND switch on and off, check that there is a difference in acceleration.

      OK: There is a difference in acceleration. 

    NG: Go to step 2 

    OK: PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  (See PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE  )

  2. INSPECT PATTERN SELECT (2ND) SWITCH 
    1. Remove the suspension control switch (See REMOVAL ).
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      17 (2ND) - 20 (E) Pattern select (2ND) switch continuously pressed Below 1 Ω
      17 (2ND) - 20 (E) Pattern select (2ND) switch released 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPLACE PATTERN SELECT (2ND) SWITCH (SUSPENSION CONTROL SWITCH)  (See REMOVAL )
