Check Mode Procedure

HINT:

Compared to normal mode, check mode is more sensitive to malfunctions. Therefore, check mode can detect the malfunctions that cannot be detected in normal mode.

NOTE: All the stored DTCs and freeze frame data are erased if: 1) the ECM (included in the hybrid vehicle control ECU) is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa: or 2) the power switch on (IG) is turned from on to ACC or off while in check mode. Before changing modes, always check and make a note of any DTCs and freeze frame data.
