Special Notes For Vehicle Inspection

Special Notes For Vehicle Inspection

CAUTION: If the vehicle is run in the 2WD inspection mode, for such as a speedometer test, DTC may be output. Therefore, if the warning light comes on, after canceling the 2WD inspection mode, check for DTCs using the intelligent tester and clear the DTCs.

a. Vehicle conditions
1. Before activating inspection mode, turn the air conditioning off, start the engine with the shift lever in the P position, and check the engine stops within several seconds after starting (engine warm up check).
2. Activate inspection mode and inspect the vehicle.





3. Reset inspection mode immediately after completion of inspection.

CAUTION: After canceling the inspection mode, turn the ignition switch ON again and check that the warning light is OFF.

b. Special notes for speedometer test

CAUTION:
- Be sure to perform the test in the 2WD inspection mode.
- Do not use the speedometer tester to perform rapid starting or quick acceleration/ deceleration without first setting the proper load on the vehicle. Failing to set the load may damage the transaxle.

1. Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and gradually accelerate the vehicle. Make a measurement.
2. After the measurement, use the brake to gradually decelerate the vehicle.

c. Special notes for using the chassis dynamometer
1. Always set an appropriate load before starting the test.

NOTE: Suddenly acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle on a chassis dynamometer under minimal load may damage the transaxle.

d. Activating 2WD inspection mode (Not using the intelligent tester) Perform the following steps from (1) through (4) in 60 seconds.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal four times with the transmission P position.
3. Fully depress the accelerator pedal four times with the transmission N position.
4. Fully depress the accelerator pedal four times with the transmission P position.
5. Check that the HV system warning light flashed on the multi-information display.
6. Start the engine by turning the ignition switch while depressing the brake pedal.

e. Activating 2WD inspection mode (Using the intelligent tester)
1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Turn the intelligent tester on.
4. Select following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / OBD / MOBD / HV ECU / ACTIVE TEST / INSPECTION MOD1 / ON.
5. Check that the HV system warning light flashers on the multi-information display and the master warning light is illuminated in the combination meter.
6. Start the engine by turning the ignition switch while depressing the brake pedal.

f. Activating 4WD inspection mode (Not using the intelligent tester) Perform the following steps from (1) through (4) in 60 seconds.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal twice with the transmission P position.
3. Fully depress the accelerator pedal twice with the transmission N position.
4. Fully depress the accelerator pedal twice with the transmission P position.
5. Check that the HV system warning light flashed on the multi-information display.
6. Start the engine by turning the ignition switch while depressing the brake pedal.

g. Activating 4WD inspection mode (Using the intelligent tester)
1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Turn the intelligent tester on.
4. Select following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / OBD / MOBD / HV ECU / ACTIVE TEST / INSPECTION MOD3 / ON.
5. Check that the HV system warning light flashers on the multi-information display and the master warning light is illuminated in the combination meter.
6. Start the engine by turning the ignition switch while depressing the brake pedal.

h. Deactivating inspection mode
1. Turn the ignition switch off. The HV main system turns off simultaneously.

CAUTION:
- The idling speed in inspection mode is approximately 1,000 rpm. The engine speed increases to 1,500 rpm if the accelerator pedal is depressed by less than 60 %. If the accelerator pedal is depressed by more than 60%, the engine speed increases to 2,500 rpm.
- If a DTC is set during inspection mode, the master warning light and the warning massage illuminate on the multiinformation display.
- When the master warning light illuminates during the inspection mode, deactivate the inspection mode, and check DTCs..
- Driving the vehicle without deactivating the inspection mode may damage the transaxle.
