With SST-New Generation Star Tester




1. In the passenger compartment, connect the Special Service Tools (SST)s New Generation Star (NGS) tester to the data link connector 2 located under the driver side dashboard.




2. Referring to the NGS operational manual, select the "PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD" function.
3. Inspect each PCM input/output signal.

NOTE: The "PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD" function is to monitor the calculation value of input/output signals in the PCM. Deviation in the value does not always indicate malfunction in the related input/output devices (sensors and solenoids).

4. If normal output signal cannot be detected when all input signals are normal, replace the PCM.
