Data List/Active Test

  1. DATA LIST 

    HINT: 

    Using Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic 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.
    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the engine switch off.
    3. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    5. Turn the tester on.
    6. Enter the following menus: "Powertrain/ECT/Data List".
    7. According to the display on the tester, read "Data List".

  2. ACTIVE TEST 

    HINT: 

    Using Techstream to perform Active Test allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Test early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Test.

    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the engine switch off.
    3. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    5. Turn the tester on.
    6. Enter the following items: "Powertrain/ECT/Active Test".
    7. According to the display on tester, perform "Active Test".

      Control the Shift Position Operates the shift solenoid valves to allow gears to selected manually.
      • Press "→" button: Upshift occurs
      • Press "←" button: Downshift occurs
      		 Can be used to check the operation of the shift solenoid valves.
      Upshifts and downshifts should be performed consecutively. A 10-second interval is required between gear changes.
      Do not downshift at high speeds. Doing so will damage the automatic transaxle.

      HINT: 
      ON: No action (normal operation)
      OFF: Line pressure up (When the Active Test of "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" is performed, the TCM commands the SLT solenoid to turn off).      		 [Vehicle Condition]
      • Vehicle Stopped
      • IDL: ON

      (transitions into the fluid temperature detection mode)      		 ON/OFF The MIL will not blink when "Connect the TC and TE1/ON" is selected.

      *: "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" in the Active Test is performed to check the line pressure changes by connecting the SST to the automatic transaxle. The same SST is used for the HYDRAULIC TEST. Refer to HYDRAULIC TEST  as well.

      HINT: 

      The pressure values in Active Test and HYDRAULIC TEST will be different from each other.
