  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  4. Turn the power switch off and wait for 2 minutes or more.

  5. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  6. With the vehicle stopped and the shift lever in P, turn the power switch on (READY) and gradually depress the accelerator pedal so that the engine starts.

  7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Utility / All Readiness.

  8. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform driving pattern again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

If this DTC is output, the engine or gears in the transaxle may have seized. Before performing this inspection, check the engine oil, hybrid transaxle fluid, coolant (for Engine) and coolant (for Inverter) levels.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT (HYBRID CONTROL)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Trouble Codes.

    4. Check for DTCs.

    OK
    NG

    1. Make sure that the shift lever is in P position.

    2. Lift up the vehicle.

    3. Turn the crankshaft pulley using hand tools to check if the crankshaft can rotate smoothly.

      CAUTION:

      Do not turn the power switch on (READY) while performing this inspection. Be sure to turn the power switch off before performing this inspection, to prevent the engine from starting.

      Note

      Engine compression causes resistance when turning the crankshaft pulley. Check if the crankshaft rotates smoothly (or if it is locked) by manually applying sufficient torque to turn the crankshaft pulley. The torque required to turn the crankshaft pulley should be the same as for a known good vehicle of the same type.

      OK
      The crankshaft rotates smoothly.

    4. Lower the vehicle.

      While the READY indicator is on, depress the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds.

      OK
      "MG1 Motor Revolution" is approximately 3.6 times "Engine Speed".

      Tech Tips


      • If the engine does not race and DTC P314779 (Transmission system) is output or generator (MG1) operates but the engine does not crank, replace the hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly.

      • Refer to the graph for Data List confirmation of "Generator Revolution" and " Engine Speed".
