    1. Battery positive voltage 11 V or more
    2. Throttle valve fully closed
    3. Transaxle in P or N

  7. Change the ECM to check mode. Make sure the MIL flashes as shown in the illustration.

    NOTICE:
    All DTCs and freeze frame data recorded are cleared if: 1) the intelligent tester is used to change the ECM from normal mode to check mode or vice versa; or 2) during check mode, the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC or off.
    Before check mode, make notes of the DTCs and freeze frame data.

  8. Start the engine. (The MIL goes off after the engine starts.)

  9. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the customer.

  10. After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the intelligent tester diagnosis selector to check the DTC and freeze frame data.
