How to Switch Diagnostic Test 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.
  • ECM always returns to Diagnostic Test Mode I after the ignition switch is turned OFF.

HOW TO SET DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS) 

  1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch ON and wait 3 seconds.
  2. Repeat the following procedure quickly five times within 5 seconds.
    • Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
    • Fully release the accelerator pedal.
  3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it depressed for approx. 10 seconds until the MIL starts blinking.
    NOTE: Do not release the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds if MIL starts blinking during this period. This blinking is displaying SRT status and is continued for another 10 seconds.
  4. Fully release the accelerator pedal.

    ECM has entered to Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results).

    NOTE: Wait until the same DTC (or 1st trip DTC) appears to completely confirm all DTCs.

    How to Erase Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic Results)

    The DTC can be erased from the back up memory in the ECM by depressing accelerator pedal. Refer to How to Switch Diagnostic Test Mode  .

    • If the battery is disconnected, the DTC will be cleared from the backup memory within 24 hours. 
    • Be careful not to erase the stored memory before starting trouble diagnoses.
