Range

Diagnostic Note

Vehicle Speed

Vehicle speed at main driven wheels

0 to 200 km/h

If the vehicle speed is 200 km/h or more, "200 km/h" is displayed.

Engine RPM Data

Number of crankshaft revolutions in 1 minute

0 to 12800 rpm

-

Shift Position Signal

Shift lever position

N / D / R / P / 5 / 4 / 3 / 2 / LO / B / SD / S-Mode / Undetermined

-

(1) Record the vehicle control history.

HINT:

If the engine is stopped while the vehicle is stationary and the shift position is not P, the EPS warning light (yellow) illuminates and the message "Engine Stopped Steering Power Low" will be displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, but this is caused by incorrect operation and is not a malfunction.

Result

Proceed to

Vehicle control history (vehicle speed 0 km/h or more, engine speed 0 rpm and shift position not in P) is output

A

Vehicle control history (vehicle speed 0 km/h or more, engine speed 0 rpm and shift position not in P) is not output

B
A

INCORRECT OPERATION

If incorrect operation of the engine switch causes unintended IG OFF operation while the shift position is not P, the engine will stop thus causing EPS shutdown and illumination of the EPS warning light (yellow), but this is not a malfunction. (EPS control during engine stall)
B
