DTC Confirmation Procedure

CAUTION: Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
  • If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 5 seconds before conducting the next test.
  • P0400 will not be displayed at "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" mode with CONSULT-II even though DTC work support test result is "NG".

WITH CONSULT-II 

  1. Turn ignition switch ON.
  2. Check "COOLAN TEMP/S" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II.

    Confirm COOLAN TEMP/S valve is within the range listed below.

    COOLAN TEMP/S: Less than 40°C (104°F) 

    If the value is out of range, park the vehicle in a cool place and allow the engine temperature to stabilize. Do not attempt to lower the engine coolant temperature with a fan or means other than ambient air. Doing so may produce an inaccurate diagnostic result.
