Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
CONSULT Function
FUNCTION
| Diagnostic test mode | Function |
|---|---|
| Self Diagnostic Result | Self-diagnostic results such as 1st trip DTC, DTCs and 1st trip freeze frame data or freeze frame data can be read and erased quickly.* |
| Data Monitor | Input/Output data in the ATR control module can be read. |
| Active Test | Diagnostic Test Mode in which CONSULT drives some actuators apart from the ATR control modules and also shifts some parameters in a specified range. |
| ECU Identification | ATR control module part number can be read. |
- DTC (Diagnostic trouble codes)
- Freeze frame data

Regarding items of DTC and 1st trip DTC, refer to DTC Index .
How to Erase DTC
Freeze Frame Data and 1st Trip Freeze Frame Data
| Freeze frame data item*1 | Description |
|---|---|
| Mileage | The engine control component part/control system has a trouble code displayed as PXXXX. (Refer to DTC Index .) |
| IGN voltage | The calculated load value at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed. |
| Acc sensor voltage [V] | The engine coolant temperature at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed. |
| ENGINE RPM |
|
| Actuator current | The engine speed at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed. |
| Board degC | The vehicle speed at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed. |
| Error code | The throttle valve opening angle at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed. |
| PWM command | The basic injection quantity at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed. |
*1: The items are the same as those of 1st trip freeze frame data.
DATA MONITOR MODE
- The following table includes information (items) inapplicable to this vehicle. For information (items) applicable to this vehicle, refer to CONSULT display items.
- For reference values of the following items, refer to Reference Value .
Monitored Item
| Monitored item | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ODO/TRIP METER | km/h or mph | The ODO/TRIP signal sent from ECM (Meter) is displayed. |
| IGN voltage | V | The battery voltage (V) sent from ECM is displayed. |
| ACC sensor voltage | V | The voltage (V) detected by G sensor is displayed. |
| ENGINE RPM | rpm | The engine speed sent from ECM is displayed. |
| Actuator current | A | The output ampere (A) detected by actuator is displayed. |
| Board degC | °C or °F | The board temperature (deg C) detected by thermistor is displayed. |
| Error code | The internal error code is displayed. |
ACTIVE TEST MODE
Test Item
| TEST ITEM | CONDITION | CHECK ITEM (REMEDY) |
|---|---|---|
| Voltage pattern output | The test pattern outputs to actuator by the start indication. The output stops by the stop indication. |

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
