DTC CHECK / CLEAR

NOTICE:

When the diagnosis system is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa, all DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode are cleared. Before changing modes, always check and make a note of DTCs and freeze frame data.

HINT:

  • DTCs which are stored in the ECM can be displayed on the Techstream. The Techstream can display confirmed, pending and permanent DTCs.
  • If a malfunction is detected during the current driving cycle, confirmed and permanent DTCs are stored.
  • Some DTCs are not stored if the ECM does not detect the same malfunction again during a second consecutive driving cycle. However, such malfunctions, detected during only one driving cycle, are stored as pending DTCs.
  • Confirmed and pending DTCs can be cleared by using the Techstream or by disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. However, permanent DTCs cannot be cleared using either of these two methods.
  • After clearing confirmed DTCs using the Techstream (or by disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal), permanent DTCs can be cleared when the universal trip is performed and then the system is determined to be normal for the relevant DTCs. The driving pattern to obtain a normal judgment is described under the "Confirmation Driving Pattern" for the respective DTC.

    To clear permanent DTCs, all of the following conditions must be are met:

    • A universal trip has been performed.
    • The vehicle has been judged as normal for 2 trips. (Normal judgment does not have to be performed in 2 consecutive trips, but normal judgment should have occurred in the latest trip.)
    • No malfunctions are detected.

  • Remove the EFI-MAIN fuse and ETCS fuse from the engine room relay block and junction block assembly located inside the engine compartment for more than 1 minute.

CLEAR PERMANENT DTC

OUTLINE
  • After clearing confirmed DTCs using the Techstream (or by disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal), permanent DTCs can be cleared when the universal trip is performed and then the system is determined to be normal for the relevant DTCs. The driving pattern to obtain a normal judgment is described under Confirmation Driving Pattern for the respective DTC.
  • To clear permanent DTCs, all of the following conditions must be met:
    • A universal trip has been performed.
    • The vehicle has been judged as normal for 2 trips. (Normal judgment does not have to be performed in 2 consecutive trips, but normal judgment should have occurred in the latest trip.)
    • No malfunctions are detected.

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Trouble Codes.

Powertrain > Transmission > Trouble Codes

HINT:

If "YES" is displayed for the value of "PERMANENT" at the top right of the Techstream screen, permanent DTCs are stored.

(e) Select the "Generic" tab.

(f) Check if permanent DTCs are stored.

HINT:

If permanent DTCs are not output, it is not necessary to continue this procedure.

(g) Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

Powertrain > Transmission > Clear DTCs

NOTICE:

Do not clear the DTCs or disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal after performing this step.

(h) Perform the universal trip. (for DTC P07507F)

HINT:

The universal trip driving pattern and normal judgment procedure can be performed consecutively in the same driving cycle.

(1) Start the engine and wait for 30 seconds or more.

(2) Move the shift lever in M and select M1 (1st gear).

(3) Drive the vehicle at a speed between 24 and 32 km/h (15 and 20 mph) for a total of 30 seconds or more.

CAUTION:

When performing a driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

HINT:

  • It is possible to complete the drive pattern even if the vehicle decelerates to less than 24 km/h (15 mph) during the driving cycle provided that the vehicle is driven at 24 km/h (15 mph) or more for a total of 30 seconds.
  • DTC P07507F can be cleared by driving the vehicle with S1 or M1 (1st gear) selected.

(4) Allow 5 minutes or more to elapse from the time the engine is started.
