Automatic Transmission System -- Check Mode Procedure |
- HINT:
- Intelligent tester only:
- 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, the TCM sets DTCs using 1 trip detection logic.
- NOTICE:
- All the stored DTCs and freeze frame data are erased if: 1) the TCM is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa; or 2) the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or off during check mode. Before changing modes, always check and make a note of any DTCs and freeze frame data.
