Objective
To check the DTC is not set
after the repair.
To check the idle control is
normally performed.
To provide basic checking for

circuit or electrical system component.
No Trouble Found
to
This condition exists when the vehicles is found to
operate normally. The condition described by the
customer may be normal. Verify the customer
complaint against another vehicle that is operating
normally. The condition may be intermittent. Verify the
complaint under the conditions described by the
customer before releasing the vehicle.
1. Reexamine the complaint.
When the complaint cannot be successfully found
or isolated, a re-evaluation is necessary. The
complaint should be re-verified and could be
intermittent as defined in Intermittents, or could be
normal.
2. Repair and verify.
After isolating the cause, the repairs should be
made. Validate for proper operation and verify that
the symptom has been corrected. This may involve
road testing or other methods to verify that the
complaint has been resolved under the following
conditions:
• Conditions noted by the customer.
• If a DTC was diagnosed, verify a repair by
technician
Verifying Vehicle Repair
When the electronic control system has been repaired,
it is necessary to verify the repair is appropriate. If the
repair is incomplete, the CHECK ENGINE lamp (MIL)
may be lit again while the vehicle is released, or the
drivability may be impaired. Particularly for the
intermittents, it is necessary to reproduce the trouble
condition
under the same conditions described by the customer
and check the trouble is no longer found.
Clear the previous DTC. Sufficiently warm up the
engine under idling, and increase the engine
speed to 2200 rpm and provide racing to verify
the test conditions.
Upon completion of engine warm-up, verify the
idle speed is 575 rpm for a manual transmission
vehicle or 640 rpm for an automatic transmission
vehicle with the air conditioner turned off. If a fault
is detected, refer to "Instable idling" in "Sympton
Diagnosis Chart" to identify the cause.
Monitor Tech 2 data list and examine the data
using typical value sheet. Check typical values in
Tech 2 data list.
Upon completion of engine warm-up, verify the
cranking time is not more than 5 seconds and the
engine speed is stable after startup.
