Vehicles with automatic transmission only:
- Perform test drive and exceed speed of 30 km/h (approx. 19 mph) once. Then turn off engine and leave selector lever in position 2, 3 or D.
Observe the safety measures during a test drive. Refer under "Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Service Precautions", Technician Safety Information
- Engage parking brake.


NOTE: On vehicles with an automatic transmission, the CCS switch will not be supplied with voltage until the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h and the selector lever is in position 2, 3 or D. Once the switch has been supplied with voltage it will also remain live at idle speed provided a driving range (except 1 or R) is selected.







- Check specified value for switch position from CCS operating switch in display field 4.

Check requirements Display fields

- Check DTC memory. If necessary, repair any malfunctions and erase DTC memory. Refer to "Displaying and Reading Trouble Codes/With Manufacturer Scan Tool/Check DTC Memory (Function 02)" under "Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems" Testing and Inspection
- Display readiness code. Refer to "Monitors, Trips and/or Drive Cycle/Displaying Readiness Code" under "Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems" Testing and Inspection

If DTC memory has been erased or the Engine Control Module (ECM) was disconnected from permanent battery (B+) voltage, generate the readiness code again. Refer to "Monitors, Trips and/or Drive Cycle/Generating Readiness Code" under "Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems" Testing and Inspection
