Scheme 55: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
  1. DESCRIPTION Diagnostic System When troubleshooting a vehicle with a diagnostic system, the only difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure is connecting the Techstream to the vehicle and reading various data output from the vehicle steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly). The steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly) records DTCs when the computer detects a malfunction in the computer itself or in its circuits. To check the DTCs, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 on the vehicle. The Techstream enables the DTCs to be cleared, the indicators to be activated, and the Data List to be checked. The diagnosis information of the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly) is transmitted to the Techstream via the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) as the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly) is not connected to CAN. Check the DLC3. Check the DLC3. Refer to «HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-394610-S07332439272011040800000) .
  2. WARNING FUNCTION OF ENGINE SWITCH INDICATOR The steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly) blinks the LED indicator of the engine switch when any of the following problems occurs in the system: TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 Indicator Light Detection Item Indicator Light Blink Pattern Indication Status Countermeasure Steering lock is still not released Blinks green at 1-second intervals Goes off 30 seconds after blinking starts The motor operates to release the steering lock, but the steering lock cannot be released (e.g. the lock bar is stuck in the steering column). Push the engine switch while turning the steering wheel left or right. Malfunction in push-button start system Blinks amber at 2-second intervals Goes off 15 seconds after the engine switch is turned off while blinking There is a short in the devices activating the motor. There is a problem in the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly) or power management control ECU. Troubleshoot by following "How to Proceed with Troubleshooting". Refer to «HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-394617-S20691439652011040800000) .

DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  1. CHECK DTCS Turn the engine switch off. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Check for DTCs. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key / Trouble Codes. Confirm the details of the DTCs. Refer to «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART»(ref-394617-S22627142192011040800000) .
  2. CLEAR DTCS Turn the engine switch off. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Clear the DTCs. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key / Trouble Codes. According to the display on the Techstream, select the trouble code data display with the clear button.

DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

  1. DATA LIST 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. NOTE: In the table below, 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. 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: Body Electrical / Smart Key / Data List. According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.
