• Sea level
• Flat road
• Ambient air temperature: 20 - 30
°
C (68 - 86
°
F)
• Diagnosis is performed as quickly as possible under normal conditions.
Under different conditions [For example: ambient air temperature other than 20 - 30
°
C (68 - 86
°
F)], diagno-
sis may also be performed.
Pattern 1:
• The engine is started at the engine coolant temperature of
−
10 to 35
°
C (14 to 95
°
F)
(where the voltage between the ECM terminal 73 and ground is 3.0 - 4.3V).
• The engine must be operated at idle speed until the engine coolant temperature is greater than 70
°
C
(158
°
F) (where the voltage between the ECM terminal 73 and ground is lower than 1.4V).
• The engine is started at the fuel tank temperature of warmer than 0
°
C (32
°
F) (where the voltage
between the ECM terminal 107 and ground is less than 4.1V).
Pattern 2:
• When steady-state driving is performed again even after it is interrupted, each diagnosis can be conducted.
In this case, the time required for diagnosis may be extended.
Pattern 3:
• Operate vehicle following the driving pattern shown in the figure.
• Replace the accelerator pedal during decelerating vehicle speed
from 90km/h (56MPH) to 0km/h (0MPH).
Pattern 4:
• Operate vehicle, following the driving pattern shown in the figure.
- Drive the vehicle in a proper gear at 60 km/h (38 MPH) and main-
tain the speed.
- Release the accelerator pedal fully at least 5 seconds.
- Repeat the above two steps at least 5 times.
Pattern 5:
• The accelerator pedal must be held very steady during steady-state driving.
• If the accelerator pedal is moved, the test must be conducted all over again.
*1: Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h (56 MPH), then release the accelerator pedal
and keep it released for more than 10 seconds. Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h
(56 MPH) again.
*2: Checking the vehicle speed with GST is advised.
Suggested Transmission Gear Position for A/T Models
Set the selector lever in the D position with the overdrive switch turned ON.
Suggested Upshift Speeds for M/T Models
Shown below are suggested vehicle speeds vehicle speeds for shifting into a higher gear. These suggestions
relate to fuel economy and vehicle performance. Actual upshift speeds will vary according to road conditions,
the weather and individual driving habits.
