TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
3. CHECK ENGINE BRAKE
Check engine brake.
Does engine braking effectively reduce speed in M1 position?
YES >> 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Perform self-diagnostics. Refer to AT- 9 3 , "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" , AT- 1 0 3 ,
"Diagnostic Procedure without CONSULT-II" .
NO >> Enter a check mark at “Vehicle Does Not Decelerate By Engine Brake” on the AT- 4 7 , "
DIAGNOS-
TIC WORKSHEET" , then continue trouble diagnosis.
