CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

HINT

Inspect the ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the Techstream when the ECM is in check mode. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which is more sensitive to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.

1. Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-400784-S05337578742011051800000) .
2. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the Techstream. Refer to «CHECK MODE PROCEDURE»(ref-400784-S20732471272011051800000) .
3. Perform a simulation test.
4. Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s).

REGISTRATION

Note. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be input into a replacement ECM.

HINT

The VIN is a 17-digit alphanumeric vehicle identification number. The Techstream is required to register the VIN.

1. DESCRIPTION HINT: This registration section consists of 2 parts: Read VIN and Write VIN. Read VIN: This process allows the VIN stored in the ECM to be read in order to confirm that the 2 VINs, the one provided with the vehicle and stored in the vehicle ECM, are the same. Write VIN: This process allows the VIN to be input into the ECM. If the ECM is changed, or the ECM VIN and vehicle VIN do not match, the VIN can be registered, or overwritten in the ECM by following this procedure.
2. READ VIN Confirm the vehicle VIN. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / VIN / VIN Read.
3. WRITE VIN Confirm the vehicle VIN. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / VIN / VIN Write.

CHECKING MONITOR STATUS

The purpose of the monitor result (mode 06) is to allow access to the results for on-board diagnostic monitoring tests of specific components/systems that are not continuously monitored. Examples are the catalyst, evaporative emission (EVAP) and thermostat.

The monitor result allows an OBD II scan tool to display the monitor status, test value, minimum test limit and maximum test limit. These data are displayed after the vehicle has been driven to run the monitor.

When the test value is not between the minimum test limit and maximum test limit, the ECM (PCM) interprets this as a malfunction. When the component is not malfunctioning, if the difference of the test value and test limit is very small, the component may malfunction in the near future.

Perform the following instruction to view the monitor status. Although this instruction references the Lexus diagnostic tester, it can be checked using a generic OBD II scan tool. Refer to your scan tool operator's manual for specific procedures.

1. PERFORM MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-400784-S05337578742011051800000) . Run the vehicle in accordance with the applicable drive pattern described in Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern. Refer to «READINESS MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN»(ref-400784-S18937034102011051800000) . Do not turn the engine switch off. NOTE: The test results will be lost if the engine switch is turned off.
2. ACCESS MONITOR RESULT Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / Result. The monitor status appears after the component name. Pass: The component is functioning normally. Fail: The component is malfunctioning. Confirm that the component is either Pass or Fail. Select the component and press ENTER. The accuracy test value appears if the monitor status is either Pass or Fail.
3. CHECK COMPONENT STATUS Compare the test value with the minimum test limit (MIN LIMIT) and maximum test limit (MAX LIMIT). If the test value is between the minimum test limit and maximum test limit, the component is functioning normally. If not, the component is malfunctioning. The test value is usually significantly higher or lower than the test limit. If the test value is on the borderline of the test limit, the component may malfunction in near future. HINT: The monitor result might show a pass on rare occasions even if the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illuminated. This indicates the system malfunctioned on a previous driving cycle. This might be caused by an intermittent problem.

1. PURPOSE OF READINESS TESTS The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) system is designed to monitor the performance of emission related components, and indicate any detected abnormalities using DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes). Since various components need to be monitored during different driving conditions, the OBD II system is designed to run separate monitoring programs called Readiness Monitors. To view the status, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / Status 2. When the status of a Readiness Monitor reads Complete, the necessary conditions have been met for running the performance tests for that Readiness Monitor. A generic OBD II scan tool can also be used to view the Readiness Monitor status. HINT: Many state Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs require the status of vehicle Readiness Monitor to show Complete before beginning emission tests. The Readiness Monitors will be reset to Incomplete if: The ECM has lost battery power or blown a fuse. DTCs have been cleared. The conditions for running the Readiness Monitor have not been met. If the Readiness Monitor status shows Incomplete, follow the appropriate Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern to change the status to Complete. WARNING: Strictly observe posted speed limits, traffic laws, and road conditions when performing these drive patterns. NOTE: These drive patterns represent the fastest method of satisfying all conditions necessary to achieve complete status for each specific Readiness Monitor. In the event of a drive pattern being interrupted (possibly due to factors such as traffic conditions), the drive pattern can be resumed. In most cases, the Readiness Monitor will still achieve complete status upon completion of the drive pattern. To ensure completion of the Readiness Monitors, avoid sudden changes in vehicle load and speed (driving up and down hills and/or sudden acceleration).
2. CATALYST MONITOR (ACTIVE AIR-FUEL RATIO CONTROL TYPE) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is off. Drive Pattern Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-400784-S05337578742011051800000) . Start the engine and warm it up [A]. Drive the vehicle at between 40 mph and 70 mph (64 km/h and 113 km/h) for at least 10 minutes [B]. Monitor Status Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream. If the status does not switch to Complete, extend the driving time.
3. EVAP MONITOR (KEY OFF TYPE) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The fuel tank is less than 90% full. The altitude is less than 7874 ft. (2400 m). The vehicle is stationary. The engine coolant temperature is between 4.4°C and 35°C (40°F and 95°F). The intake air temperature is between 4.4°C and 35°C (40°F and 95°F). The vehicle was driven in a city area (or on a freeway) for 10 minutes or more. Monitor Conditions Turn the engine switch off and wait for 5 to 10 hours. HINT: Do not start the engine until checking Readiness Monitor status. If the engine is started, the step described above must be repeated. Monitor Status Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream. If the status does not switch to Complete, restart the engine, make sure that the preconditions have been met, and then perform the Monitor Conditions again.
4. AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR AND HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR MONITORS Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: 2 minutes or more have elapsed since the engine was started. The engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or more. Cumulative driving time at a vehicle speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) or more exceeds 6 minutes. Air fuel ratio feedback control is performed. Drive Pattern for the air fuel ratio sensor and heated oxygen sensor Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-400784-S05337578742011051800000) . Start the engine, and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or more [A]. Drive the vehicle at between 38 mph and 75 mph (60 km/h and 120 km/h) or more for at least 10 minutes [B]. Change the transmission to the 2nd gear [C]. Accelerate the vehicle to 40 mph (64 km/h) or more by depressing the accelerator pedal for at least 10 seconds [D]. Soon after performing step [D] above, release the accelerator pedal for at least 4 seconds without depressing the brake pedal, in order to execute fuel cut control [E]. Allow the vehicle to decelerate until the vehicle speed declines to less than 6 mph (10 km/h) [F]. Repeat steps from [D] through [F] above at least 3 times in one driving cycle [G]. Monitor Status Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream. If the status does not switch to Complete, make sure that the preconditions have been met, and then perform steps [A] through [G] in Drive Pattern above.
5. AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR AND HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR HEATER MONITORS (FRONT AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR AND REAR HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR TYPE) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is off. Drive Pattern Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-400784-S05337578742011051800000) .

Soon after performing step [D] above, release the accelerator pedal for at least 4 seconds without depressing the brake pedal, in order to execute fuel cut control [E]. Allow the vehicle to decelerate until the vehicle speed declines to less than 6 mph (10 km/h) [F]. Repeat steps from [D] through [F] above at least 3 times in one driving cycle [G]. Monitor Status Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream. If the status does not switch to Complete, make sure that the preconditions have been met, and then perform steps [A] through [G] in Drive Pattern above.
5. AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR AND HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR HEATER MONITORS (FRONT AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR AND REAR HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR TYPE) Preconditions The monitor will not run unless: The MIL is off. Drive Pattern Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR»(ref-400784-S02158227972011051800000) . Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle for 10 minutes or more [A]. Drive the vehicle at 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for at least 2 minutes [B]. Monitor Status Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed on the Techstream. If the status does not switch to Complete, make sure that the preconditions have been met, and repeat the Drive Pattern above.

CHECK MODE PROCEDURE

HINT

Compared to the normal mode, check mode is more sensitive to malfunctions. Therefore, check mode can detect the malfunctions that cannot be detected in normal mode.

Note. All the stored DTCs and freeze frame data are cleared if: 1) the ECM is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa; or 2) the engine switch is turned from on (IG) to ACC or off while in check mode. Before changing modes, always check and note any DTCs and freeze frame data.

Scheme 36

1. CHECK MODE PROCEDURE Check and ensure the following conditions: Positive (+) battery voltage 11 V or more. Throttle valve fully closed. Shift lever in P or N. A/C switch off. Turn the engine switch off. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / Check Mode. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode. Make sure that the MIL flashes as shown in the illustration. Start the engine. Make sure that the MIL turns off. Duplicate the conditions of the malfunction described by the customer. Check for DTCs and freeze frame data using the Techstream.

FAIL-SAFE CHART

If any of the following DTCs are set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode to allow the vehicle to be driven temporarily.

Note. *1: The vehicle can be driven slowly when the accelerator pedal is depressed slowly. If the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the vehicle may speed up and slow down erratically. *2: Misfire related fail-safe operations occur when catalyst overheat malfunctions occur.
