With Manufacturer's Scan Tool

Check the DTC

NOTE:
- If there is no DTC in the normal mode, check the 1st trip DTC using Continuous Test Results function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979) on the OBD II scan tool or the TOYOTA hand-held tester.
- TOYOTA Hand-held tester only:
When the diagnosis system is switched from the normal mode to the check mode, it erases all DTC and freezed frame data recorded in the normal mode. So before switching modes, always check the DTC and freezed frame data, and note them down.

1. Prepare the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or the TOYOTA hand-held tester.
2. Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to the DLC3 at the lower center of the instrument panel.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester switch ON.
4. Use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to check the DTC and freezed frame data and note them down (For operating instructions, see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book.).

If there is no DTC in the normal mode, check the 1st trip DTC using Continuous Test Results function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979) on the OBD II scan tool or the TOYOTA hand-held tester.

5. See Trouble Code Descriptions to confirm the details of the DTC.

NOTE:
- When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (excluding TOYOTA hand-held tester) to check the DTC, use the normal mode. For code on the DTC chart subject to "2 trip detection logic", perform the following either action.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is simulated the 1st time. Then repeat the simulation process again. When the problem has been simulated twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
- Check the 1st trip DTC using Mode 7 (Continuous Test Results) for SAE J1979.
