DESCRIPTION
The drive start control is controlled by the ECM.
If the ECM determines that the shift lever and accelerator pedal are operated abnormally, engine output 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 engine output may increase when driving uphill and decrease when driving downhill. This is due to the drive start control controlling the engine output, and is not a malfunction.
PROCEDURE
SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Interview the customer to confirm the problem.
