- Retest-drive the vehicle in the D position through all five gears at speeds over 12 mph (20 km/h) for more than 20 seconds, then slow down to a stop.
- Monitor the OBD status for P0780 in the DTCs/Freeze Data in A/T Mode Menu for a pass/fail. Does the result indicate FAILED? YES - Go to step 8. NO - If the tester indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. If the tester indicates NOT COMPLETED, return to step 5 and recheck.
- Clear the DTC with the HDS.
- Run the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches 176°F (80°C).
