AIR CONDITIONING: AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (for Manual Air Conditioning System): DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. DESCRIPTION

(a) Air conditioning system data and the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can be read through the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use Techstream to check for malfunctions and perform troubleshooting.

2. CHECK DLC3

The vehicle's ECM uses the 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.

NOTICE:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, other switches or doors.

HINT
Connect the cable of Techstream to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch to ON and attempt to use the Techstream. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the Techstream.

If communication is normal when the Techstream is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.

If communication is still not possible when the Techstream is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the Techstream itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the Techstream instruction manual.
