CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Tip:

DTCs for the stop and start system are not cleared automatically even if the malfunction has been repaired. After repairing the malfunction, be sure to clear the DTCs.

  1. Tip:

    • If the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed. In this case, drive the vehicle approximately 5 to 40 minutes until refresh charge is completed and stop and start control operation is permitted.

    • Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes after it is warmed up and check that the engine idle speed is within 50 rpm of the target idle speed.

    CONFIRMATION AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

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

    3. Clear the DTCs.

      Click here

      Powertrain > Stop and Start > Clear DTCs

    4. Start the engine and warm it up.

    5. Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or more.

      CAUTION:

      When performing Confirmation Driving Pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    6. Stop the vehicle, move the shift lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal. (for Manual Transaxle)

    7. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle. (for CVT)

    8. Keep the engine stopped by stop and start control for 1 second or more. (Keep the shift lever in D. (for CVT))

    9. Depress the clutch pedal and start the engine. (for Manual Transaxle)

      Tip:

      If the engine cranks slowly when the engine is restarted, it can be determined that the battery voltage is low.

    10. Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine. (for CVT)

      Tip:

      If the engine cranks slowly when the engine is restarted, it can be determined that the battery voltage is low.

    11. Check that DTCs are not output.

  2. STOP AND START SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

    Tip:

    If the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, stop and start control is prohibited until refresh charge is completed. In this case, drive the vehicle approximately 5 to 40 minutes until refresh charge is completed and stop and start control operation is permitted.

    1. Start the engine and warm it up.

    2. Turn the air conditioning system off.

    3. Drive the vehicle at 7 km/h (4.3 mph) or more.

      CAUTION:

      When performing Confirmation Driving Pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    4. Stop the vehicle, move the shift lever to neutral and release the clutch pedal. (for Manual Transaxle)

    5. Depress the brake pedal and stop the vehicle. (for CVT)

    6. Allow the engine to stop by stop and start control. (Keep the shift lever in D. (for CVT))

    7. Depress the clutch pedal and start the engine. (for Manual Transaxle)

    8. Release the brake pedal with the shift lever in D to start the engine. (for CVT)

  • After replacing the engine stop and start ECU or air conditioning amplifier assembly, reset and perform learning of the air conditioning information in the engine stop and start ECU.

    Click here

  • After replacing the engine stop and start ECU or airbag sensor assembly, clear and calibrate the deceleration sensor zero point in the engine stop and start ECU.

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

Tip:

Using the GTS, read the freeze frame data before troubleshooting. System condition information is recorded as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
