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.
Operation may not be possible in certain situations.
Items Controlled
Engine output is restricted.
Deactivation Conditions
The accelerator pedal is released.
The shift lever is in P or N.
The restraint level for engine output differs for pattern A and pattern B.
While the controls are active, the engine output is corrected corresponding to the slope gradient.
Control will not operate when TRC operation is stopped.
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 TRAIL mode is on
When multi-terrain select is selected
