Operation Procedure

With CONSULT-II 

  1. Perform ACCELERATOR PEDAL RELEASED POSITION LEARNING  .
  2. Perform THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED POSITION LEARNING  .
  3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
  4. Check that all items listed under the topic preparation (previously mentioned) are in good order.
  5. Select IDLE AIR VOL LEARN in WORK SUPPORT mode.

NOTE:
  • It is better to count the time accurately with a clock  .
  • It is impossible to switch the diagnostic mode when an accelerator pedal position sensor circuit has a malfunction  .

Without CONSULT-II 

  1. Perform ACCELERATOR PEDAL RELEASED POSITION LEARNING  .
  2. Perform THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED POSITION LEARNING  .
  3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
  4. Check that all items listed under the topic preparation (previously mentioned) are in good order.
  5. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
