Troubleshooting Method |
---|---|---|
DTC Based Diagnosis |
The diagnosis procedure is based on the DTC that is stored. |
The malfunctioning part is identified based on the DTC detection conditions using a process of elimination. The possible trouble areas are eliminated one-by-one by use of the Techstream and inspection of related parts. |
Symptom Based Diagnosis (No DTCs stored) |
The diagnosis procedure is based on problem symptoms. |
The malfunctioning part is identified based on the problem symptoms using a process of elimination. The possible trouble areas are eliminated one-by-one by use of the Techstream and inspection of related parts. |
2. DESCRIPTION
(a) Each system data and the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) 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.
3. CHECK DLC3
(a) The vehicle ECUs use ISO 15765-4 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with ISO 15031-3 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.

NOTICE:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition 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.
Open in CAN Main Bus Line
DESCRIPTION
There may be an open circuit in the CAN bus main wire and/or the DLC3 branch
wire when the resistance between terminals 6 (CANH) and 14 (CANL) of the DLC3 is
70 Ω or higher.
