PRE-CHECK

1.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

(a)

Check the TEM output (LED lightening check).
(1)

Connect the LED and resistor in series between ter-
minals TEM and CG of the DLC3.

NOTICE:
If connected reversely, the LED does not light.
HINT:

Use the LED whose recommended operating current is
10 - 20 mA.

The 500 

Ω 

to 1 k

Ω

 resistor must be used.

(2)

Turn the ignition switch to ON, and check that the
LED lights for about 2 seconds.

HINT:
If the LED does not light, inspect the TEM circuit (See page 

05-234

).

(b)

In case of not using hand-held tester:
check the DTC.
(1)

Check the battery positive voltage.

Battery positive voltage:
10 - 14 V (Engine stopped)
(2)

After driving the vehicle, using SST, connect termi-
nals Tc and CG of the DLC3.

SST

09843-18040

HINT:

Do not stop the engine.

Under this condition, the ignition switch is ON.

NOTICE:
Wrong connection of the connector may cause a malfunc-
tion. With extreme caution, connect the connector.

(3)

Connect the LED and resistor in series between ter-
minals TEM and CG of the DLC3.

(4)

Check the number that the LED blinks.

HINT:

When the code is normal, the LED keeps on for 0.25 se-
conds and off for 0.25 seconds repeatedly.

When more than 2 diagnosis codes are detected, the
diagnosis codes are displayed in order from the smallest
number.

If no code appears, inspect the Tc circuit (See page 

05-230

).

Codes are explained in the code table on page 

05-200

.

(5)

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(6)

Disconnect the SST from terminals Tc and CG of the
DLC3.

SST

09843-18040

(7)

Disconnect the LED and resistor from the terminals
TEM and CG of the DLC3.

HINT:
Confirm that the connected LED is off.

(8)

When an abnormal code is output, inspect the func-
tion, absorber control ECU and input signal.

(c)

In case of using the hand-held tester:
Check the DTC.
(1)

Hook up the hand-held tester to the DLC3.

(2)

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(3)

Read the DTC by following the prompts on the tes-
ter screen.

HINT:
Please refer to the hand-held tester operator’s manual for fur-
ther details.

(d)

In case of not using hand-held tester:
Clear the DTC.
(1)

Using SST, it connects the terminal Tc and CG of the
DLC3.

SST

09843-18040

(2)

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(3)

Clear DTC stored in ECU by depressing the brake
pedal 8 or more times within 5 sec.

(4)

Check that DTC output the normal code.
(See step 1 - (b)).
