Inspection Procedure

1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the ECT SNOW switch "OFF" (Normal drive mode).
3. Confirm vehicle response by driving from a parked position to fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
4. Turn the ECT SNOW switch "ON" and perform the same check as above.

   Confirm that there is a difference between ECT SNOW switch "ON" and "OFF".

   HINT:

   • Driving test should be done on a paved road (a nonskid road).
   • Make sure not to use the TRAC system when testing a vehicle equipped with one.

     OK: There is a difference in acceleration between "ON" and "OFF".
