Diagnosis System

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. DESCRIPTION
The ECU stores trouble codes when trouble occurs on the vehicle.
The diagnostic system allows for reading of the trouble codes from the DLC3.
Use the intelligent tester to check and solve the problem

2. CHECK DLC3







a. The ECU uses ISO 15765-4 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 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.




b. Connect the cable of the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch ON and attempt to use the intelligent tester. If the screen displays a communication error message, a problem exists in the vehicle or in the tester.
- If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
- If communication is still impossible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction manual.
