DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [04/2013 - ]

  1. DESCRIPTION Lighting system data can be read from 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 repairs.
  2. CHECK DLC3 Check the DLC3. Refer to «GENERAL INFORMATION [04/2013 - ]»(ref-665529-S26412111322014102400000)
  3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE Measure the battery voltage. Standard Voltage 11 to 14 V If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery.

DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [04/2013 - ]

  1. DATA LIST NOTE: In the following table, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not. HINT: Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Data List. Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream. Body Electrical > Main Body > Data List Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note ACC SW Engine switch on (ACC) signal ON or OFF ON: Engine switch on (ACC) OFF: Engine switch off - IG SW Engine switch on (IG) signal ON or OFF ON: Engine switch on (IG) OFF: Engine switch off - RR Door Courtesy SW Rear door courtesy light switch assembly RH signal ON or OFF ON: Rear door RH open OFF: Rear door RH closed - RL Door Courtesy SW Rear door courtesy light switch assembly LH signal ON or OFF ON: Rear door LH open OFF: Rear door LH closed - FR Door Lock Pos Front door RH unlock detection switch signal LOCK or UNLOCK LOCK: Front door RH locked UNLOCK: Front door RH unlocked - FR Door Courtesy SW Front door courtesy light switch assembly RH signal ON or OFF ON: Front door RH open OFF: Front door RH closed - FL Door Lock Pos Front door LH unlock detection switch signal LOCK or UNLOCK LOCK: Front door LH locked UNLOCK: Front door LH unlocked - FL Door Courtesy SW Front door courtesy light switch assembly LH signal ON or OFF ON: Front door LH open OFF: Front door LH closed - Dome Light DOOR SW Door switch signal ON or OFF ON: Door switch pressed OFF: Door switch not pressed - Dome Light SW Front dome light switch signal ON or OFF ON: Front dome light switch pressed OFF: Front dome light switch not pressed - RR-Door Lock Pos SW Rear door RH unlock detection switch signal ON or OFF ON: Rear door RH unlocked OFF: Rear door RH locked - RL-Door Lock Pos SW Rear door LH unlock detection switch signal ON or OFF ON: Rear door LH unlocked OFF: Rear door LH locked - Luggage Courtesy SW Luggage compartment door courtesy switch signal ON or OFF ON: Luggage compartment door open OFF: Luggage compartment door closed - Interior Light Control Operation of the illuminated entry system OFF or ON Customized value is displayed Displayed only when All Data is selected.

  2. ACTIVE TEST HINT: Using the Techstream to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / (desired system) / Active Test. Perform the Active Test according to the display on the Techstream.
