Automatic Transaxle System Check Mode Procedure

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.

Make sure that the items below are satisfied:

1. Battery positive voltage is 11 V or more
   

2. Throttle valve is fully closed
   

3. Transaxle is in the P or N position
   

4. A/C is switched OFF
   

Turn the ignition switch off.

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

Turn the ignition switch on.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Check Mode.

Change the ECM to check mode. Make sure that the MIL flashes as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:

All DTCs and freeze frame data recorded will be erased if: 1) the intelligent tester is used to change the TCM from normal mode to check mode or vice-versa; or 2) during check mode, the ignition switch is turned from on (IG) to on (ACC) or off.

Before entering check mode, make notes of any DTCs and freeze frame data that are present.

Start the engine. The MIL should turn off after the engine starts.

Perform "MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN" for the ECT test (CAMRY_ACV40 RM000000W7K02CX.html).
(Or, duplicate the conditions of the malfunction described by the customer).

After duplicating the malfunction conditions, use the intelligent tester diagnosis selector to check the DTC and freeze frame data.
