Cancel Maintenance Mode
Before leaving the factory, some late-build models, including the Type-S, are put into maintenance mode. Since the
backup fuse is removed for shipping, this keeps the MIL from coming on from a communication loss between the PCM
and the gauge control module. In this mode, the Charging System and Low Oil Pressure indicators will alternately blink.
To complete the TQI, you will need to cancel maintenance mode.
To do that, make sure you have first done these actions:
1. Installed the No. 17 BACK UP (10A)
2. Shifted the transmission to Park.
3. Apply the parking brake.
Then, within 20 seconds, complete these steps:
1. Turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press the brake pedal all the way down and hold it, then press and release the accelerator pedal five times, then
release the brake pedal.
3. Turn the ignition to OFF, then wait
5 seconds
.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
NOTE: Make sure that there is no maintenance message illuminated in the MID. If it is, repeat this procedure.

Fuel the Vehicle
Fuel this vehicle using only unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of
91 or higher
. Make sure the No. 17
BACKUP (10 A) fuse is installed
before
filling up the fuel tank (see Install the Fuse). If you do it without the fuse
installed, the fuel gauge will take much longer than normal to show an accurate reading.
If this happens, and you do not want to wait for the gauge to show the correct level, turn the ignition to OFF and let the
vehicle sit for
10 minutes
. Install the fuse, then turn the ignition to ON. The fuel gauge will show the correct level.
