Active Test

ACTIVE TEST

NOTE: Beware that if the connector to the intelligent tester becomes disconnected or if a communication error occurs during the ACTIVE TEST, the vehicle could become inoperative (the READY light goes off).

HINT: Performing an ACTIVE TEST using the intelligent tester enables components including the relay, VSV, and actuator, to be operated without removing any parts. Performing an ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one method to shorten diagnostic time.




a. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the intelligent tester on.
c. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / HV ECU / ACTIVE TEST.
