DTC Confirmation Procedure

WARNING:

If you do not select a suitable route and take proper precautions when performing a road test, an accident can occur.

•Select a level road with no traffic to minimize the risk of accident.
•Perform the test extremely carefully.
•Perform the road test with 2 persons, a driver and a tester.

NOTE:

•Check that the following conditions are met in this “DTC Confirmation Procedure”.

—ECT > 40 °C (104 °F)
—Engine speed < 4,500 rpm

•Check that the following DTCs are not detected in this “DTC Confirmation Procedure”.

—ECT sensor (P0116, P0117 and P0118)
—CKP sensor (P0335)
—CMP sensor (P0340)

1)Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.

2)With engine speed at 4,500 rpm or less, drive vehicle at 60 km/h (37 mile/h) constantly for 1 min. or more at 5th gear (M/T model) or D range (A/T model). (Keep throttle valve opening constant in this step.)

3)Release accelerator pedal, and keep vehicle coasting for 10 sec. in engine braking condition. (Fuel cut)

DTC Troubleshooting

Step	Action	Yes	No
1	Was “Engine and Emission Control System Check” performed?	Go to Step 2.	Go to Engine and Emission Control System Check:M16A.
2	DTC check Is there any CAN-DTC detected?	Go to troubleshooting for CAN-DTC.	Go to Step 3.
3	DTC check 1)Check DTC in ESP^® control module. Is there any DTC(s) detected?	Go to troubleshooting for applicable DTC.	Replace ECM and recheck DTC.
