REPAIR INSTRUCTION INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECTION MODE

    Note

    When operating the vehicle in an inspection mode for an operation such as a speedometer test, a DTC may be stored. Therefore, if the warning light illuminates, check for DTCs using the GTS and clear the DTCs.

    Tech Tips

    If the engine is warmed up and the HV battery is charged, the engine will stop after the vehicle is stopped. If the engine is required to run continuously even after the vehicle is stopped, such as for an ignition timing check, enter maintenance mode.


    1. The following table shows the types of inspection modes that are available, their purpose and the control that occurs in each mode.

      Mode

      (Display)

      		 Purpose Control

      MAINTENANCE MODE

      (2WD for measuring Exhaust Gas)

      • For inspecting ignition timing, performing engine maintenance, idle speed exhaust emissions testing (CO, HC), etc.

      • For performing tests using a speedometer tester, two-wheel chassis dynamometer, etc.

      • Keeps the engine idling when park (P) is selected

      • Cancels traction control

      CERTIFICATION MODE

      (2WD for cutting TRC)

      		 For performing tests using a speedometer tester, two-wheel chassis dynamometer, etc. Cancels traction control

    2. Vehicle conditions


      1. Before activating inspection mode, turn the air conditioning off, start the hybrid system with park (P) selected, and check that the engine stops within several seconds after starting (engine warm up check).

      2. Activate the appropriate inspection mode and inspect the vehicle:

        Test Item Mode
        Vehicle straight traveling test (side slip inspection) Maintenance mode or normal mode
        Braking force test Normal mode
        Speedometer test Maintenance mode
        Exhaust gas test (idling) Maintenance mode
        Headlight test Maintenance mode or normal mode

      3. Cancel inspection mode immediately after completion of inspection.

        Note

        Driving the vehicle without canceling inspection mode may damage the transaxle.

    3. Precautions when performing speedometer test

      CAUTION:

      Be sure to perform the test in maintenance mode.

      Note

      Do not perform rapid starting or quick acceleration on a speedometer tester. If rapid starting or quick acceleration is performed on a speedometer tester, damage may occur to the hybrid transaxle.


      1. Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and gradually accelerate the vehicle. Take a measurement.

      2. After the measurement, use the brakes to gradually decelerate the vehicle.

    4. Special notes for using a chassis dynamometer

      CAUTION:

      Be sure to perform the inspection in maintenance mode.

      Note

      Sudden acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle on a chassis dynamometer under minimal load may damage the hybrid transaxle.


      1. Always set an appropriate load before starting the test.

    5. Activating maintenance mode (Not using the GTS)

      Perform the following steps from (A) through (D) in 60 seconds.


      1. Turn the power switch on (IG). (Step A)

      2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal twice with park (P) selected. (Step B)

      3. Fully depress the accelerator pedal twice with neutral (N) selected. (Step C)

      4. Fully depress the accelerator pedal twice with park (P) selected. (Step D)

      5. Check that "MAINTENANCE MODE" is displayed on the multi-information display.

      6. Start the engine by turning the power switch on (READY) while depressing the brake pedal.

        Tech Tips

        The idle speed in maintenance mode is approximately 1000 rpm with park (P) selected. The engine speed increases to 1500 rpm when the accelerator pedal is depressed midway with park (P) selected. When the accelerator pedal is depressed more than midway, or when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the engine speed increases to approximately 2500 rpm.

    6. Activating maintenance mode (Using the GTS)


      1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

      3. Turn the GTS on.

      4. Enter following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Utility / Inspection Mode - 2WD for measuring Exhaust Gas.

      5. Check that "MAINTENANCE MODE" is displayed on the multi-information display.

      6. Start the engine by turning the power switch on (READY) while depressing the brake pedal.

        Tech Tips

        The idle speed in maintenance mode is approximately 1000 rpm with park (P) selected. The engine speed increases to 1500 rpm when the accelerator pedal is depressed midway with park (P) selected. When the accelerator pedal is depressed more than midway, or when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the engine speed increases to approximately 2500 rpm.

    7. Activating certification mode (Not using the GTS)

      Perform the following steps from (A) through (D) in 60 seconds.


      1. Turn the power switch on (IG). (Step A)

      2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times with park (P) selected. (Step B)

      3. Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times with neutral (N) selected. (Step C)

      4. Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times with park (P) selected. (Step D)

      5. Check that "CERTIFICATION MODE" is displayed on the multi-information display.

      6. Start the engine by turning the power switch on (READY) while depressing the brake pedal.

    8. Activating certification mode (Using the GTS)


      1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

      3. Turn the GTS on.

      4. Enter following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Utility / Inspection Mode - 2WD for cutting TRC.

      5. Check that "CERTIFICATION MODE" is displayed on the multi-information display.

      6. Start the engine by turning the power switch on (READY) while depressing the brake pedal.

    9. Deactivating inspection mode


      1. Turn the power switch off. The HV system turns off simultaneously.

        Note


        • If a DTC is stored while in inspection mode, the master warning light will illuminate and a warning message will be displayed on the multi-information display.

        • If the master warning light illuminates and a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while in inspection mode, check for DTCs.

        • Driving the vehicle without canceling inspection mode may damage the hybrid transaxle.
