Active Test

HINT: Performing the intelligent tester's ACTIVE TEST allows relay, VSV, actuator and other item values to be operated without removing any parts. Performing the ACTIVE TEST early in troubleshooting is one way to save time. The DATA LIST can be displayed during the ACTIVE TEST.

a. Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch ON.




c. Perform the ACTIVE TEST according to the display on the tester.
