Diagnosis System





PRE-COLLISION: PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. CHECK DLC3





(a) The seat belt control ECU uses CAN and 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 Techstream to the DLC3, turn the engine switch on (IG) and attempt to use the Techstream. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the Techstream.

* If the Techstream is able to communicate when it is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.
* If communication is still not possible when the Techstream is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the Techstream itself. Consult the Techstream's instruction manual for information on service or repair of the Techstream.
2. FUNCTION OF WARNING INDICATOR AND MESSAGE

(a) If the pre-collision system is not functioning properly, the driver is warned by the master warning indicator and multi-information display warning message on the combination meter.









(b) Initial check

(1) The initial check occurs when the engine switch is off for more than 2 seconds, and then turned on (IG). The initial check consists of a pre-collision system diagnostic check with a duration of approximately 3 seconds.





(2) If a malfunction is detected during the initial check, the multi-information display will output "CHECK PCS SYSTEM " or "PCS NOT AVAILABLE NOW".

(c) Constant check

(1) The seat belt control ECU and distance control ECU constantly monitor the pre-collision system for malfunctions after the initial check approximately 3 seconds after turning the engine switch on (IG).

(2) "CHECK PCS SYSTEM" or "PCS NOT AVAILABLE NOW" is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly when the constant check detects malfunctions in the pre-collision system.
