Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK MIL 
    1. Check that the MIL lights up when turning the Turn the engine switch on (IG).

      OK: 

      MIL lights up 

    OK: SYSTEM OK 

    NG: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK CONNECTION BETWEEN INTELLIGENT TESTER AND ECM 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the Turn the engine switch on (IG) and intelligent tester ON.
    3. Check the communication between the intelligent tester and ECM.
