Diagnosis System

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. DESCRIPTION
Fuel lid opener system data can be read in the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the intelligent tester to check for malfunctions and perform repairs.





2. CHECK DLC3
The vehicle's ECU uses the ISO 15765-4 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.





If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector.





HINT: Connect the cable of the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3, turn the engine switch IG (on) and attempt to use the intelligent tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester. If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle. If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.

3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE

Standard: 11 to 14 V

If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.
