HINT:
Connect the cable of the intelligent tester to the DLC3, turn
the ignition switch ON and attempt to use the tester. If the
screen displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, a
problem exists in the vehicle side or the tester side.
If communication is normal when the tester is connected to
another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
If communication is still not possible when the tester is
connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the
tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the
tester's instruction manual.
6. CHECK MIL
(a) Check that the MIL illuminates when turning the
ignition switch ON.
If the MIL does not illuminate, there is a problem in
the MIL circuit (see page ES-430).
(b) When the engine is started, the MIL should turn off.
7. ALL READINESS
(a) For this vehicle, using the intelligent tester allows
readiness codes corresponding to all DTCs to be
read. When the diagnosis (normal or
malfunctioning) has been completed, readiness
codes are set. Enter the following menus:
ENHANCED OBD II / MONITOR STATUS.
DTC CHECK / CLEAR
1. CHECK DTC
(a) DTCs which are stored in the ECM can be displayed
with the intelligent tester.
The intelligent tester can display pending DTCs and
current DTCs. Some DTCs are not stored unless a
malfunction is detected in consecutive driving
cycles. When a malfunction is detected in only one
driving cycle, it is stored as a pending DTC.
(1) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM.
Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester
ON.
(3) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT
CODES (or PENDING CODE).
(4) Confirm the DTCs and freeze frame data, and
then write them down.
(5) Confirm the details of the DTCs (see page AX-
40).
NOTICE:
When simulating a symptom with the scan
tool to check for DTCs, use normal mode.
For codes on the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODE CHART subject to "2 trip detection
logic", perform the following actions.

Turn the ignition switch OFF after the
symptom is simulated once. Then repeat the
simulation process. When the symptom has
been simulated twice, the MIL illuminates
and the DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
2. CLEAR DTC
(a) When using the intelligent tester:
(1) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM.
Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester
ON.
(3) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CLEAR
CODES. Then press YES.
HINT:
When operating the tester to erase the codes,
the DTCs and freeze frame data will be erased.
(b) When not using the intelligent tester:
(1) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-)
battery terminal or remove the EFI MAIN and
ETCS fuses from the engine room No. 1 relay
block and engine room No. 1 junction block for
60 seconds or more. However, if you disconnect
the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal,
perform the "INITIALIZATION" procedure (see
page AX-20).

CHECK MODE PROCEDURE
1. DESCRIPTION
(a) Check mode has a higher sensitivity to malfunctions
and can detect malfunctions that normal mode
cannot detect. Check mode can also detect all the
malfunctions that normal mode can detect. In check
mode, DTCs are detected with 1 trip detection logic.
2. CHECK MODE PROCEDURE
(a) Make sure that the following conditions below are
met:
(1) Battery positive voltage 11 V or more
(2) Throttle valve fully closed
(3) Transaxle in the P or N position
(4) A/C OFF
(b) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(c) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then
connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
(e) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / CHECK MODE.
(f) Change the ECM to check mode. Make sure the
MIL flashes as shown in the illustration.
NOTICE:
All DTCs and freeze frame data will be erased if:
1) the intelligent tester is used to change the
ECM from normal mode to check mode or vice
versa; or 2) during check mode, the ignition
switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF.
Before check mode, make notes of the DTCs
and freeze frame data.
(g) Start the engine. The MIL should turn off after the
engine starts.
(h) Perform "MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN" for the ECT
test (see page AX-21).
(Or, simulate the conditions of the malfunction
described by the customer.)
(i) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
tester to check the DTC and freeze frame data.

ADJUSTMENT
1. INSPECT SHIFT LEVER POSITION
(a) When shifting the lever from P to the R position with
the ignition switch ON and the brake pedal
depressed, make sure that the shift lever moves
smoothly and moves correctly into position.
(b) Start the engine and make sure that the vehicle
moves forward when shifting the lever from N to the
D position and moves rearward when shifting the
lever to the R position.
If the operation cannot be performed as specified,
inspect the park/neutral position switch assembly
and check the shift lever assembly installation
condition.
2. ADJUST SHIFT LEVER POSITION
(a) Shift the shift lever to the N position.
(b) Slide the adjuster case cover in the direction shown
in the illustration and pull out the lock piece.
(c) Gently pull the cable rod toward the rear of the
vehicle by hand to pull the cable taut.
(d) Press the lock piece into the adjuster case and lock
it.
(e) Slide the cover in the direction shown in the
