TWO-TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
When a malfunction initially occurs, trouble code will be temporarily stored in ECM memory, but MIL on instrument panel will not illuminate. The second time malfunction is detected, MIL on instrument panel will illuminate, provided ignition is turned off and then back on after first malfunction was detected. This is referred to as the 2-Trip Detection Logic and only applies to specified trouble codes. See TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table.
Note. When road testing vehicle in Check Mode, the Two Trip Detection Logic will not function. Also, MIL will illuminate the first time a malfunction is detected.
DATA LINK CONNECTOR
OBD-II regulations (SAE J-1850) standardizes DLC configurations. On all models, DLC No. 3 connector is located in fuse box at lower left of instrument panel. Terminal arrangement of connector complies with SAE J-1962 regulations.
FREEZE-FRAME DATA
The ECM records engine operating condition when a misfire, fuel trim (mixture) malfunction or other malfunction (fuel system, calculated load, coolant temperature, fuel trim (mixture), engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) exists. If more than one fault is detected, only data from the 1st malfunction is recorded. Recorded data is useful for determining conditions in which the malfunction occurs.
Normal Mode Code Retrieval
- Connect scan tester to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3. (Scheme 28) DLC No. 3 is located in fuse box at lower left of instrument panel. Turn ignition on with engine off. Turn scan tester on. Using scan tester manufacturer's instructions, check for trouble codes and freeze frame data.
- If scan tester displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, DLC No. 3 must be checked. See «DLC NO»(ref-21746-S36618566442001010300000). 3 INSPECTION under SCAN TESTER PROBLEMS. If scan tester does not display UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, go to next step.
- Record any trouble codes and freeze frame data displayed for system diagnosis. If driveability problem exists and no codes are present, go to «TESTS W/O CODES»(ref-21769) article for diagnosis by symptom.
- If any trouble codes are present, perform appropriate diagnostic test. See «TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION»(ref-21746-S12646317962001010300000) table. For more information on freeze frame data, see FREEZE FRAME DATA under INTRODUCTION. For information on 2-trip detection logic codes, see «TWO-TRIP DETECTION LOGIC»(ref-21746-S38958677412001010300000) under INTRODUCTION.
- After repairs for trouble code have been completed, trouble code must be cleared from ECM memory. See «CLEARING TROUBLE CODES»(ref-21746-S38384399982001010300000).

Check Mode Code Retrieval (Lexus Scan Tester Only)
- Ensure vehicle battery is fully charged. Apply parking brake. Shift transmission/transaxle into Neutral (M/T) or Park (A/T). Turn A/C and all accessories off. Ensure throttle is in idle position.
- Turn ignition off. Connect scan tester to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3. (Scheme 28) DLC No. 3 connector is located in fuse box at lower left of instrument panel. Turn ignition on with engine off. Turn scan tester on.

Try to simulate conditions of driveability complaint described by customer. NOTE: If ignition is turned from ON to ACC or OFF position, all trouble codes and freeze frame data will be erased. DO NOT switch modes until all trouble codes and freeze frame data are recorded.
