*1: for CVT models

HINT:

*2: Check "Fuel Cut Elps Time" in the Data List. If the elapsed time is over 0 sec, then the engine speed is high (the engine speed at which fuel cut occurs + 500 rpm or more). In this situation, there is a possibility that a No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assembly will become loose and malfunction, check that the No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assemblies are properly installed.
