>> GO TO 2.

2.PREPARATION BEFORE OPERATION 2

With CONSULT-III

1. Start the engine.

2. Select “Data Monitor” in “TRANSMISSION”.

3. Select “FLUID TEMP”.

4. Confirm that the CVT fluid temperature is in the range below.

FLUID TEMP : 20°C (68°F) or more

With GST.

1. Start the engine.

2. Set the CVT fluid to 20°C (68°F) or more.

NOTE

:
When the ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), the CVT fluid usually increases to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) with driving in an urban area for approximately 10 minutes.

Is the CVT fluid 20°C (68°F) or more? YES >> GO TO 3.

NO >> 1. Warm the transaxle.

2. GO TO 3.

3.CHECK DTC DETECTION

1. Drive the vehicle.

2. Maintain the following conditions for 40 seconds or more.
