Scheme 22: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2012 - ]
  1. DESCRIPTION The network gateway ECU controls the functions of the multiplex communication system on the vehicle. Data of the multiplex communication system and the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) can be read through the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle.
  2. CHECK DLC3 The vehicle's ECU uses the ISO 15765-4 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAEJ 1962 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 11 to 14 V If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector. Techstream HINT: Connect the cable of Techstream to the DLC3, turn the engine 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.
  3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE Standard voltage 11 to 14 V If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.

DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2012 - ]

  1. CHECK DTC Connect Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Check the DTCs on the tester screen. HINT: Refer to Techstream operator's manual for further details.
  2. CLEAR DTC Connect Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Erase the DTCs by following the prompts on the tester screen. HINT: Refer to Techstream operator's manual for further details.
