Monitor Drive Pattern
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Yaris. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN FOR ECT TEST
- Perform this drive pattern as one method to simulate the detection conditions of ECT malfunctions. (The DTCs may not be detected due to the actual driving conditions. And some DTCs may not be detected through this drive pattern.)
HINT:
Preparation for driving
- Warm up the engine. (Engine coolant temperature is 60°C (140°F) or higher.)
- Drive the vehicle when the atmospheric temperature is -10°C (14°F) or higher. (Malfunction is not detected when the atmospheric temperature is less than -10°C (14°F).)
Driving note
- Drive the vehicle through all gears.
Stop → 1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th (lock-up ON).
- Repeat the above driving pattern three times or more.
NOTE:- The monitor status can be checked using a Techstream. When using the Techstream, monitor status can be found in the "Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List".
- In the event that the drive pattern must be interrupted (possibly due to traffic conditions or other factors), the drive pattern can be resumed and, in most cases, the monitor can be completed.
CAUTION: Perform this drive pattern on as level a road as possible and strictly observe the posted speed limits and traffic laws while driving.HINT:
*1: Drive at such a speed in the uppermost gear, to engage lock-up. The vehicle can be driven at a speed lower than that in the above diagram under the lock-up condition.
NOTE: To detect DTC P0711 (ATF temperature sensor malfunction), drive the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes.
