1. Warm up the engine.
(1) Turn off all electrical loads.
(2) Increase the engine speed to 2,500 - 3,000 rpm until the cooling fan starts running.
(3) When the cooling fan starts running, release the accelerator pedal and wait until the cooling fan stops running.





2. Connect the SST (M-MDS) to the DLC-2.
3. Verify that the engine speed (M-MDS: RPM) is as follows using the PID/data monitor function of the SST (M-MDS) as follows:
