The drive start control is controlled by the ECM.
If the ECM determines that the shift lever and accelerator pedal are operated abnormally, engine output is restricted and, when necessary, a warning is displayed on the combination meter assembly.
Even if the accelerator pedal position is maintained, the engine output may increase when driving uphill and decrease when driving downhill. This is due to the drive start control controlling the engine output, and is not a malfunction.
Check if the customer operated the vehicle in a way that would cause the drive start control to operate.
Activation conditions
Pattern A (When all of the following conditions are met, control starts.)
The accelerator pedal is open by approximately 1/5 or more.
The shift lever is moved from P to any forward position D (including other forward shift positions) or R.
Pattern B (When all of the following conditions are met, control starts.)
The accelerator pedal is open by approximately 1/5 or more.
The shift lever is moved from R to any forward position D (including other forward shift positions), any forward position D (including other forward shift positions) to R, or N to R.
Depending on the situation, the shift position may not be changed.
Items Controlled
Engine output is restricted.
Deactivation Conditions
The accelerator pedal is released.
The shift lever is in P or N.
The engine output restricted level differs between pattern A and pattern B.
During sudden start restraint control, engine output is adjusted based on the road gradient
Drive start control is not activated when TRC is turned off.
Control will also not operate under the following conditions. (if equipped)
When in auto LSD mode
When the transfer switch is operated to switch the status to L4
When the center differential is locked
When multi-terrain select is selected
When TRAIL mode is on
When multi-terrain select is selected
