- CHECK FOR DTCs (Engine)
- Check for DTCs.
Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes
HINT:
If DTC U0300-51 or U0300-57 is output, inspect the SFI system first as a SFI system DTC may be stored.
Result
Result Proceed to DTCs are not output A DTCs are output B
Result:
B
GO TO REFER TO "SFI SYSTEM"
Result:
A
See step 2
- Check for DTCs.
- CHECK FOR DTCs (HEALTH CHECK)
- Using the GTS, perform a health check.
OK
ECUs other than the forward recognition camera do not output specification information mismatch DTCs related to the ECM.
Result
Result Proceed to DTC is not output A DTC is output B
Result:
B
REPLACE ECM
Refer to REMOVAL [12/2024 - ]
Result:
A
See step 3
- Using the GTS, perform a health check.
- READ VALUE USING GTS (Powertrain Information)
- Using the GTS, read the Data List.
