Automatic Transmission System Monitor Drive Pattern

Preparation for driving

1. Warm up the engine sufficiently (engine coolant temperature of 60°C (140°F) or higher).
   

2. Drive the vehicle when the atmospheric temperature is -10°C (14°F) or higher.
   Some malfunctions are not detected when the atmospheric temperature is below -10°C (14°F).
   

Drive pattern

1. Drive the vehicle through all the gears.
   Stop → 1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th → 5th → 6th → 7th → 8th → 8th (lock-up ON).
   

2. Perform an engine braking test with the shift lever in S. While driving in the S8 range and 8th gear lock-up, move the shift lever to "-" and down-shift from 8th → 7th, 7th → 6th, 6th → 5th, 5th → 4th, 4th → 3rd, 3rd → 2nd and 2nd → 1st.
   Check that engine braking is normal for every down-shift.
   

3. Repeat the above drive pattern 3 times or more.
   

   NOTICE:

   1. When using the GTS, the monitor status can be checked in the Data List (Click here).
      
   2. In the event that the drive pattern must be interrupted (due to traffic conditions or other factors), the drive pattern can be resumed and, in most cases, the monitor can be completed.
      
   3. Perform this drive pattern on a level road as much as possible and strictly observe the posted speed limits and traffic laws while driving.
      
   4. It is necessary to drive the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes to detect DTC P0711 (Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor "A" Performance).
