Diagnosis System

ENGINE IMMOBILIZER: ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. DESCRIPTION

(a) Engine immobilizer system data and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can be read through the vehicle's Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3). In some cases, a malfunction may be occurring in the immobilizer system even though the security indicator is not illuminated. When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the Techstream to check for malfunctions and perform repairs.

2. CHECK DLC3

(a) The vehicle uses ISO 15765-4 for 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 Techstream to the DLC3, turn the engine switch on (IG) and attempt to use the tester. If the screen displays a communication error message, 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 of 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

(a) Measure the battery voltage.

Standard voltage:

11 to 14 V

(b) If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding to the next step.
