Scheme 153: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
  1. DESCRIPTION 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 the 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. Symbols (Terminal No.) Terminal Description Condition Specified Condition SIL (7) - SG (5) Bus "+" line During transmission Pulse generation CG (4) - Body ground Chassis ground Always Below 1 ohms SG (5) - Body ground Signal ground Always Below 1 ohms BAT (16) - Body ground Battery positive Always 10 to 14 V CANH (6) - CANL (14) CAN bus line Power switch OFF* 54 to 69 ohms CANH (6) - CG (4) HIGH-level CAN bus line Power switch OFF* 200 ohms or higher CANH (6) - BAT (16) HIGH-level CAN bus line Power switch OFF* 6 kohms or higher CANL (14) - CG (4) LOW-level CAN bus line Power switch OFF* 200 ohms or higher CANL (14) - BAT (16) LOW-level CAN bus line Power switch OFF* 6 kohms or higher NOTE: *: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the power switch, any other switches or the doors. If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector. HINT: Connect the Techstream to the DLC3, turn the power switch ON (IG) and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester. If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle. If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.

  1. INDICATOR CHECK Press and hold the A/C control AUTO switch and Recirculation / Fresh switch simultaneously, and turn the power switch ON (IG). Continue holding the 2 switches until the panel diagnosis mode begins. Check that all indicators turn on and off 4 times in succession at 1 second intervals. HINT: After the indicator check is completed, the system enters the DTC mode automatically. Press the "OFF" switch to cancel the indicator check.
  2. DTC CHECK USING TECHSTREAM Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the power switch ON (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Trouble Codes. Check for DTCs.
  3. DTC CLEAR USING TECHSTREAM Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the power switch ON (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Trouble Codes. Clear DTCs by pressing the YES button on the Techstream display.
