PRECAUTION

CAUTION: When using the intelligent tester or Techstream, observe the following items for safety reasons:
- Read its instruction books before using the tester.
- Prevent the tester cable from being caught on the pedals, shift lever and steering wheel when driving with the tester connected to the vehicle.
- When driving the vehicle for testing purposes using the tester, 2 persons are required. One person drives the vehicle, and the other operates the tester.


NOTE:
- After the ignition switch is turned OFF, the navigation system requires approximately 90 seconds to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the ignition switch OFF, wait 90 seconds or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Perform RESET MEMORY (AT initialization) for 2WD when replacing the automatic transmission assembly, engine assembly or ECM.
- Perform RESET MEMORY (AT initialization) for 4WD when replacing the automatic transmission assembly, engine assembly or ECM.
