b. Fully release accelerator pedal and then let engine idle for about 10 seconds.
If “TESTING” is not displayed after 10 seconds, refer to EC-
134, "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE" .
8. Wait for about 20 seconds at idle at under the condition that “TESTING ” is displayed on the CONSULT-II screen.
9. Make sure that “TESTING ” changes to “COMPLETED ”.
If “TESTING” changed to “OUT OF CONDITION”, refer to
EC-134, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE" .
10. Make sure that “OK” is displayed after touching “SELF-DIAG
RESULT ”.
If “NG ” is displayed, go to EC-247, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITH GST
