DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

  1. PREPARATION BEFORE WORK

    If another "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" occurs just before, ignition switch OFF and wait for at least 10 seconds, then perform the next test.

    TESTING CONDITION:

    Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 10 V.

    >>

    GO TO 2.

  2. CHECK DTC DETECTION

    1. Start the engine.

    2. Warm up the CVT fluid temperature.

      CVT fluid temperature

      : 40 °C (104 °F) - 120 °C (248 °F)

    3. Ignition switch OFF and wait for at least 10 second.

    4. Ignition switch ON.

    5. Check the DTC.

    Is "P0845-00" detected?

    YES >>

    Proceed to Diagnosis Procedure.

    NO-1>>

    To check malfunction symptom before repair: Refer to Intermittent Incident.
