  • Always perform the test 9 temperature above -10°C (14°F). 
  • Engine coolant temperature and EGR temperature must be verified in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II before starting DTC WORK SUPPORT test. If it is out of range below, the test cannot be conducted. 

    COOLAN TEMP/S: -10 to 60°C (14 to 140°F)* 

    EGR TEMP SEN: Less than 3.7V 

    If the values are out of the ranges indicated above, park the vehicle in a cool place and allow the engine temperature to stabilize. Do not attempt to reduce the engine coolant or EGR temperature with a fan or means other than ambient air. Doing so may produce an inaccurate diagnostic result. 

    *: Although CONSULT-II screen displays "-10 to 40°C (14 to 104°F)" as a range of engine coolant temperature, ignore it.
