Go to Step 16 .
NO -
Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (B38) and the IMT actuator, then go to Step 21 .
  1. Remove the IMT actuator.
  1. Move the IMT valve by hand.
Does it move smoothly?
YES -
Go to Step 18 .
NO -
Replace the IMT valve, then go to Step 21 .

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  1. Do the IMT TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
Is the result OK?
YES -
Replace the original IMT actuator, then go to Step 21 .
NO -

  1. Reconnect all connectors.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  1. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
  1. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.
  1. Do the IMT TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
  1. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P1078 indicated?
YES -
Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the IMT actuator and the ECM/PCM, then go to Step 1 .
NO -
Go to Step 27 .
  1. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P1078 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES -
Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in Step 26 , go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.■
NO -
If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the IMT actuator and the ECM/PCM, then go to Step 1 . If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to Step 25 .

  1. Do the IMT TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
  1. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P1078 indicated?
YES -
Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the IMT actuator and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then go to Step 30 . If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to Step 1 .
NO -
Go to Step 32 .
  1. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P1078 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES -
If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in Step 31 , go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.■
NO -
If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the IMT actuator and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then go to Step 30 . If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to Step 1 . If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to Step 30 .
