DESCRIPTION
The drive start control is controlled by the ECM.
If the ECM determines that the shift lever and accelerator pedal are operated abnormally, driving force is restricted and, when necessary, a warning is displayed on the combination meter assembly.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
Even if the accelerator pedal position is maintained, the driving force may increase when driving uphill and decrease when driving downhill. This is due to the drive start control controlling the driving force, and is not a malfunction.
PROCEDURE
SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Interview the customer to confirm the problem.

PAST ACTIVATION CONFIRMATION
Check if the customer operated the vehicle in a way that would cause the drive start control to operate.
Tech Tips
Drive Start Control Activation ConditionsShift control
Activation conditions
Pattern A (When all of the following conditions are met, control starts.)
The accelerator pedal is open by approximately 1/5 or more.
The shift lever is moved from P to any forward position (D or M) or R.
Pattern B (When all of the following conditions are met, control starts.)
The accelerator pedal is open by approximately 1/5 or more.
The shift lever is moved from R to any forward position (D or M), any forward position (D or M) to R, or N to R.
Items Controlled
Driving force is restricted.
Deactivation Conditions
The accelerator pedal is released.
The shift lever is in P or N.
Reverse control
Activation conditions
The shift lever is in R.
The accelerator pedal is depressed excessively.
Items Controlled
Driving force is restricted.
Deactivation Conditions
The accelerator pedal is released.
The shift lever is moved to any position other than R.
Tech Tips
The driving force restricted level differs between pattern A, pattern B and Reverse control.
During reverse control or shift control, driving force is adjusted based on the road gradient and steering angle.
