CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs registration and initialization.

Tip:

  • When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing the new ECM, perform all of the initialization/registrations for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.

  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (COOLANT TEMP)

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Coolant Temp.

      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List

      Tester Display

    4. Start the engine and wait 5 minutes.

    5. Read the value.

      OK

      80 to 100°C (176 to 212°F) with warm engine.
