Using SST's (NGS)




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




2. Referring to the NGS instruction manual, select the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD function.







3. Referring PID/DATA MONITOR table, 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.
- When normal output signal cannot be detected when all input signals are normal, replace the PCM.
