Diagnosis System

  1. CHECK DLC3 
    1. Check the DLC3.

      The ECU uses ISO 15765-4 for communication. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.

      Symbol (Terminal No.) Terminal Description Condition Specified Condition
      SIL (7) - SG (5) Bus "+" line During communication Pulse generation
      CG (4) - Body ground Chassis ground Always Below 1 Ω
      SG (5) - Body ground Signal ground Always Below 1 Ω
      BAT (16) - Body ground Battery positive Always 11 to 14 V
      CANH (6) - CANL (14) HIGH-level CAN bus line Ignition switch off* 54 to 67 Ω
      CANH (6) - CG (4) HIGH-level CAN bus line Ignition switch off* 200 Ω or higher
      CANL (14) - CG (4) LOW-level CAN bus line Ignition switch off* 200 Ω or higher
      CANH (6) - BAT (16) HIGH-level CAN bus line Ignition switch off* 6 kΩ or higher
      CANL (14) - BAT (16) LOW-level CAN bus line Ignition switch off* 6 kΩ or higher
      NOTE: *: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any other switches or the doors.

      HINT: 

      Connect the Techstream to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch to ON, and attempt to use the Techstream. If the screen displays a communication error message, a problem exists on the vehicle side or the Techstream side.

      • If communication is normal when connecting the Techstream to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
      • If communication is still not possible when connecting the Techstream to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the Techstream itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the Techstream operator's manual.
  2. CHECK WARNING LIGHT 
    1. When a problem occurs in the power steering system, the P/S warning light on the combination meter comes on to inform the driver of the problem.
