NO
GO TO 4 .
- PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-II
WITH CONSULT
- Select "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.
- Check that "COOLAN TEMP/S" indicates above 70 deg.C (158 deg.F).
If it is above 70 deg.C (158 deg.F), go to the following steps.
If it is below 70 deg.C (158 deg.F), warm engine up until "COOLAN TEMP/S" indicates more than 70 deg.C (158 deg.F). Then perform the following steps.
- Turn ignition switch OFF and soak the vehicle in a cool place.
- Turn ignition switch ON.NOTE: Do not turn ignition switch OFF until step 8.
- Select "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.
- Check the following.
COOLAN TEMP/S
Below 40 deg.C (104 deg.F)
INT/A TEMP SE
Below 40 deg.C (104 deg.F)
Difference between "COOLAN TEMP/S" and "INT/A TEMP SE"
Within 6 deg.C (11 deg.F)
If they are within the specified range, perform the following steps.
If they are out of the specified range, soak the vehicle to meet the above conditions. Then perform the following steps.
NOTE:- Do not turn ignition switch OFF.
- If it is supposed to need a long period of time, do not deplete the battery.
- Start engine and let it idle for 5 minutes.
- Check 1st trip DTC.
WITH GST
Follow the procedure "With CONSULT" above.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES
NO
.
- PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK (FOR MALFUNCTION B)
Perform component function check. Refer to Component Function Check .
NOTE: Use the component function check to check the overall function of the EOT sensor circuit. During this check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.Is the inspection result normal?
YES
INSPECTION END
NO
Proceed to Diagnosis Procedure .
