Test driving

NOTE:

Test drive the car according to the driving schedule below to check whether the fault is still active. The test drive is compiled in order to create the conditions in which the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be stored again if the fault is active.

The TEST MODE function can be used to provoke any diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). The function reduces the conditions for how quickly diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored in the control module and the test drive becomes easier.

Start the engine
Activate TEST MODE.
NOTE:
Do not switch off the engine
Disconnect the VIDA station. Test drive the car as described below.
WARNING:
Please observe traffic regulations.

NOTE:
Before test driving, the transmission should be at operating temperature, approximately 80-90°C.

Shift the gear selector to position D (for Geartronic transmissions, shift as usual up to third gear). Carefully accelerate to a speed slightly higher than 75 km/h. Maintain the same speed for at least 30 seconds.

HINT: The car must be driven at an engine speed where the lock-up function is normally activated.

Criteria for diagnostic trouble code (DTC):
- The transmission fluid temperature must exceed 30°C
- The engine must be running for at least 20 seconds
- Gear selector in position D, 3 or 2 (4T65EV).
  Gear selector in Geartronic position and gears 4, 3 or 2 (4T65EV-GT)
- Speed above 75 km/h for at least 5 seconds
- At least 5 seconds since the last gear shift
- Positive engine torque (no engine braking).
