Automatic Transmission System (For 2Tr-Fe) 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 stored with 1-trip detection logic.

Make sure that the following conditions are met:

1. Battery positive voltage is 11 V or higher.
   

2. Throttle valve is fully closed.
   

3. Shift lever is in P or N.
   

4. A/C is off.
   

Turn the ignition switch off.

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

Turn the intelligent tester on.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Check Mode.

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 cleared 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 entering check mode, make a note of the DTCs and freeze frame data.

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

Perform "Monitor Drive Pattern" for the ECT test (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000W7K0PMX.html), or reproduce the conditions of the malfunction described by the customer.

After reproducing the malfunction conditions, use the intelligent tester to check the DTCs and freeze frame data.
