After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration Click here and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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 INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR)


    1. A015CLQE02

      Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

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

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Accel Sens. No.1 Volt % and Accel Sens. No.2 Volt %.

    4. Read the values.

      Standard
      Accelerator Pedal Accel Sens. No.1 Volt % Accel Sens. No.2 Volt %
      Released 10 to 22% 24 to 40%
      Depressed 52 to 90% 68 to 99%
