Scan Tool Testing and Procedures

DLC3







The vehicle's ECU uses the ISO 15765-4 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with ISO 15031-3 and matches the ISO 15765- 4 format.

If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector.






HINT: Connect the cable of the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3, turn the power switch ON (IG) and attempt to use the tester. If the screen displays the message UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, there is a problem either with the vehicle or the tester.If communication is normal when the intelligent tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.

If communication is still not possible 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.
