Toyota Corolla Cross: Inspection Mode Procedure

INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE

INSPECTION MODE

(a) for Gasoline Model, Diesel Model, LPG Model:

The following table shows the types of inspection mode that are available, their purpose and the control that occurs in mode.

(b) for HV Model:

NOTICE:

When operating the vehicle in an inspection mode for an operation such as a speedometer test, a DTC may be stored. Therefore, if the warning light illuminates, check for DTCs using the GTS and clear the DTCs.

HINT:

If the engine is warmed up and the HV battery is charged, the engine will stop after the vehicle is stopped. If the engine is required to run continuously even after the vehicle is stopped, such as for an ignition timing check, switch to maintenance mode.

The following table shows the types of inspection mode that are available, their purpose and the control that occurs in each mode.

(c) Vehicle conditions (for HV Model)

(1) Before activating inspection mode, turn the air conditioning off, start the hybrid system with the shift lever in P or with park (P) selected, and check that the engine stops within several seconds after starting (engine warm up check).

(2) Activate the appropriate inspection mode and inspect the vehicle:

(3) Cancel inspection mode immediately after completing the inspection.

NOTICE:

Driving the vehicle without canceling inspection mode may damage the hybrid transaxle or the hybrid transmission.

(d) Precautions when performing speedometer test (for HV Model)

CAUTION:

Be sure to perform the test in 2WD MAINTENANCE MODE or 4WD/AWD MAINTENANCE MODE.

NOTICE:

Do not perform rapid starting or quick acceleration on a speedometer tester. If rapid starting or quick acceleration is performed on a speedometer tester, damage may occur to the hybrid transaxle or the hybrid transmission.

(1) Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and gradually accelerate the vehicle. Take a measurement.

(2) After the measurement, use the brakes to gradually decelerate the vehicle.

(e) Special notes for using a chassis dynamometer (for HV Model)

CAUTION:

Be sure to perform the test in 2WD MAINTENANCE MODE or 4WD/AWD MAINTENANCE MODE.

NOTICE:

Sudden acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle on a chassis dynamometer under minimal load may damage the hybrid transaxle or the hybrid transmission.

(1) Always set an appropriate load before starting the test.

(f) When testing with a drum tester such as a speedometer tester, combination tester for the speedometer and brakes, or chassis dynamometer, or when jacking up the front wheels and turning the wheels, perform the following procedure to enter Inspection Mode and disable the TR(A)C and VSC systems.

  *A

  for FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES/2WD

  *B

  for 4WD/AWD

  TransMission Type:

  *A

  for REAR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES/2WD
