Check DLC3

CHECK DLC3







The vehicle's ECU uses the ISO 15765-4 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.

HINT: Connect the cable of the hand-held tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch on (IG) and attempt to use the hand-held tester. If the screen displays a communication error message, a problem exists on the vehicle side or the tester side. If the communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.

If the communication is still impossible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.
