Diagnosis System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota Prius. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. DESCRIPTION 
    1. DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

      When troubleshooting a vehicle with a diagnostic system, the only difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure is connecting the hand-held tester to the vehicle and reading various data output from the vehicle's transmission control ECU assy.

      The transmission control ECU assy records DTCs when the computer detects a malfunction in the computer itself or in its circuits.

      To check the DTCs, connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3 on the vehicle. The hand-held tester enables you to erase the DTCs, activate the several actuators and check freeze frame data and data list.

    2. Check the DLC3.

    The transmission control ECU assy follows the CAN and ISO 9141-2 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.
