  1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
  2. Turn ignition switch ON.
  3. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with M.U.T.-III SE.
  4. Check the indication of “COOLANT TEMP/S”.
 
With GST
Follow the procedure “With M.U.T.-III SE” above.
 
Is the value of “COOLANT TEMP/S” between 15°C (59°F) and 36°C (97°F)?
.
-1 [If it is below 15°C (59°F)]Warm up the engine until the value of “COOLANT TEMP/S” reaches 15°C (59°F) or more. Retry from step 2.
-2 [If it is above 36°C (97°F)]Cool engine down to less than 36°C (97°F). Retry from step 2.
 
4.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-2
With M.U.T.-III SE
  1. Set the select lever in N range.
  2. Start the engine and warm up in idle with the value of “COOLANT TEMP/S” between 15°C (59°F) and 40°C (104°F) for more than 15 seconds.
  3. Check 1st trip DTC.
 
With GST
Follow the procedure “With M.U.T.-III SE” above.
