Diagnosis System






DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
Description


ECM controls the function of immobilizer on this vehicle. Data of the immobilizer or DTC can be read form DLC3 of the vehicle. When a trouble occurs on immobilizer, check engine warning light does not light up but DTC inspection is performed.

Therefore when there seems to be a trouble on immobilizer, use TOYOTA hand-held tester or SST to check and troubleshoot it.







The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 14230 for communication. The terminal arrangement of DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 14230 format.

HINT: If your display shows "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE" when you have connected the cable of the hand-held tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and operated the hand-held tester, there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.
If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect DLC3 on the original vehicle.
If communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction manual.
