  3. READ VALUE USING GTS (MOTOR TEMP NO2)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List / Motor Temp No2.

    4. Read the Data List.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      -40°C (-40°F) A
      215°C (419°F) B
      Same as actual temperature C

    5. Turn the power switch off.
