power before disconnecting the 12V battery terminal, observing
“How to disconnect 12V battery terminal” described below.
NOTE:
Some ECUs operate for a certain fixed time even after ignition
switch is turned OFF and ignition power supply is stopped. If the
battery terminal is disconnected before ECU stops, accidental DTC
detection or ECU data damage may occur.

• For vehicles with the 2-batteries, be sure to connect the main bat-

tery and the sub battery before turning ON the ignition switch.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch is turned ON with any one of the terminals of
main battery and sub battery disconnected, then DTC may be detected.

• After installing the 12V battery, always check "Self Diagnosis Result" of all ECUs and erase DTC.

NOTE:
The removal of 12V battery may cause a DTC detection error.

[CVT: RE0F10G]

PRECAUTIONS

• Perform TCM input/output signal inspection and check

whether TCM functions normally or not before replacing TCM.
Refer to

TM-471, "Reference Value"

• Perform “DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION

PROCEDURE”.
If the repair is completed DTC should not be displayed in the
“DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE”.

On Board Diagnosis (OBD) System of CVT and Engine

INFOID:0000000010245514

The TCM and ECM have an on board diagnostic system. It will light up the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to
warn the driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal

before any repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid
valves, etc. will cause the MIL to light up.

• Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will

cause the MIL to light up due to an open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)

• Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. Interference of the harness with a

bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to a short circuit.

• Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube

may cause the MIL to light up due to a malfunction of the EGR system or fuel injection system, etc.

• Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the TCM and

ECM before returning the vehicle to the customer.
