Data List / Active Test

  1. DATA LIST 

    HINT:

    Using the intelligent tester DATA LIST allows switch, sensor, actuator and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the Data List early in troubleshooting is one way to shorten labor 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.
    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the engine switch off.
    3. Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface module) to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG) position.
    5. Turn on the tester.
    6. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / ECT / DATA LIST".
    7. According to the display on the tester, read the "DATA LIST".

  2. ACTIVE TEST 

    HINT:

    Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the intelligent tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to operate without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one method to shorten labor time.

    If is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.

    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the engine switch off.
    3. Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface module) to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG) position.
    5. Push the "ON" button of the intelligent tester.
    6. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / ECT / ACTIVE TEST".
    7. According to the display on tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".
    ACTIVE TEST DETAIL

    Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
    LINE PRESS UP(1) Operate the shift solenoid SLT and raise line pressure ON or OFF

    HINT:

    • OFF: Line pressure up (when Active Test "LINE PRESS UP" is performed, ECM commands SLT solenoid to turn OFF)
    • ON: No action (normal operation)
    		 [Vehicle Condition]
    • Vehicle stopped
    • Engine: idling
    LOCK UP Control shift solenoid SLU to set automatic transmission to lock up condition ON or OFF Possible to check shift solenoid valve SLU operation
    [Vehicle Condition]
    • Throttle valve opening angle: Less than 35%
    • Vehicle speed: 60 km/h (36 mph) or more
    SHIFT Operate shift solenoid valve and set each shift position by yourself
    • Press "→" button: Shift up
    • Press "←" button: Shift down
    		 Possible to check operation of shift solenoid valves
    [Vehicle Condition]
    50 km/h (30 mph) or less
    (1) "LINE PRESS UP" in the ACTIVE TEST is performed to check the line pressure changes by connecting SST to the automatic transmission, which is used in the HYDRAULIC TEST  as well.

    HINT:

    The pressure values in ACTIVE TEST and HYDRAULIC TEST are different from each other.
