Lexus ES: Check Mode Procedure
CHECK MODE PROCEDURE
HINT:
Compared to normal mode, check mode is more sensitive to malfunctions. Therefore, check mode can detect malfunctions that cannot be detected in normal mode.
NOTICE:
All of the stored DTCs and Freeze Frame Data are cleared if: 1) the ECM is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa; or 2) the engine switch is turned from on (IG) to ACC or off while in check mode. Before changing modes, always check and note any DTCs and Freeze Frame Data.
CHECK MODE PROCEDURE
(a) Check and ensure the following conditions:
(1) Battery voltage is 11 V or higher.
(2) Accelerator pedal fully released.
(3) Shift lever is in P or N.
(4) A/C switch is off.
(b) Turn the engine switch off.
(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
