SLCT LVR POSI: “D” position

GEAR (Input speed sensor 1): 4th or 5th position

GEAR (Input speed sensor 2): All position

Driving location: Driving the vehicle uphill (increased engine load) will help maintain the driving

conditions required for this test.

4. If DTC is detected, go to 

TM-52, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.
