Water Sprinkling Method

If malfunction occurs only during high humidity or rainy/snowy weather, perform the following steps:

CAUTION:
  • Indirectly change the temperature and humidity by spraying water onto the front of the radiator.
  • If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leakage may damage the control module. When testing a vehicle with a water leakage problem, special caution must be used.
  1. Connect M-MDS to DLC-2 if you are inspecting sensors or switches.
  2. Turn ignition switch to ON position (Engine off).
    NOTE:
    • If engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.
  3. Access PIDs for sensor or switch if you are inspecting sensors or switches.
  4. If you are inspecting the switch, turn it on manually.
  5. Spray water onto the vehicle or run it through a car wash.
    • If PID value is unstable or malfunction occurs, repair or replace part if necessary.
