Description of On-Board Diagnostics


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION





ECM controls the function of immobiliser on this vehicle. Data of the immobiliser or DTC can be read form DLC3 of the vehicle. When a trouble occurs on immobiliser, MIL does not light up but DTC inspection is performed. Therefore when there seems to be a trouble on immobiliser, use LEXUS hand-held tester or SST to check and troubleshoot it.

Reference:





DLC3 INSPECTION
The vehicle's ECM uses 150 9141-2 for communication. The terminal arrangement of DLC3 complies with SAEJ1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

HINT: If your display shows "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE"
when you have connected the cable of OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.
(1) If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect DLC3 on the original vehicle.
(2) If communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction manual.
