Inspection Procedure 2

Communication with Scan Tool Is Not Possible (Communication with PCM Only Is Not Possible)

Data Link Connector Circuit:

Connectors:

CIRCUIT OPERATION
- A diagnostic output is made from the PCM (terminal 85) to the diagnostic output terminal (terminal 7) of the data link connector.

COMMENT
- No power supply to PCM.
- Defective ground circuit of PCM.
- Defective PCM.
- Improper communication line between PCM and scan tool.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this case: )
- Malfunction of PCM power supply circuit.
- Malfunction of the PCM.
- Open circuit between PCM and data link connector.

DIAGNOSIS




STEP 1. Check connector C-41 at PCM for damage.

Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES: Go to Step 2.

NO: Repair or replace it. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.







STEP 2. Check for open circuit, short circuit to ground and harness damage between data link connector C-23 terminal 7 and PCM connector C-41 terminal 85.

NOTE: Check harness after checking intermediate connectors C-17 and C-57. If intermediate connectors are damaged, repair or replace them. Refer to Harness Connector Inspection. Then check that the malfunction is eliminated.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES: Refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURE 29 - Power Supply System and Ignition Switch - IG System.

NO: Repair it. Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.
