DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

1.

DATA LIST
By reading the DATA LIST displayed on the intelligent 
tester, you can check values, including those of the 
switches, sensors, actuators without removing any parts. 
Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of 
troubleshooting is one method of shortening diagnostic 
time.
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(c) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Operate the intelligent tester according to the 

display on the tester screen and select DATA LIST.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

1.

INSPECT SPEEDOMETER
(a) Check the operation.

(1) Using a speedometer tester, inspect the 

speedometer and confirm that the 
speedometer readings are within the 
acceptable range. Also check the odometer 
operation.
Reference:

NOTICE:
Tire wear and excessively high or low tire 
pressure affect speedometer indications.

(2) Check the deflection of the speedometer 

indicator.

2.

INSPECT SPEED SENSOR
(a) Check the output signal waveform.

(1) Remove the combination meter assembly, but 

do not disconnect the connector.

(2) Connect an oscilloscope to terminal E13-4 and 

to the body ground.

(3) Start the engine.
(4) Check the signal waveform according to the 

conditions in the table below.

OK:

As shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:
As the vehicle speed increases, the cycle of 
the signal waveform narrows.

(5) Reinstall the combination meter assembly.

3.

INSPECT TACHOMETER
(a) Check the operation.

(1) Connect the tune-up test tachometer and start 

the engine.
NOTICE:
•

Reversing the connection of the 
tachometer will damage the transistors 
and the insides of the diodes.

•

When removing or installing the 
tachometer, be careful not to drop or 
strike it.

(2) Compare the result of the test with the standard 

indication.
