1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Description
When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only dif-
ference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is that you connect to the vehicle the OBD II scan
tool complying with SAE J1978 or TOYOTA hand−
held tester, and read off various data output from
the vehicle’s ECM.
OBD II regulations require that the vehicle’s on−
board computer lights up the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the com-
puter detects a malfunction in the computer itself or
in drive system components which affect vehicle
emissions. In addition to the MIL lighting up when
a malfunction is detected, the applicable Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs) prescribed by SAE J2012
are recorded in the ECM memory (See page
DI−140).
If the malfunction does not reoccur in 3 trips, the MIL goes off
but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM memory.
To check the DTCs, connect the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand−held tester to the Data Link Con-
nector 3 (DLC3) on the vehicle. The OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester also enables you
to erase the DTCs and check freezed frame data
and various forms of engine data (For operating
instructions, see the OBD II scan tool’s instruction
book.).
DTCs include SAE controlled codes and manufac-
turer controlled codes. SAE controlled codes must
be set as prescribed by the SAE, while manufactur-
er controlled codes can be set freely by the
manufacturer within the prescribed limits (See DTC
chart on page DI−140).

− DIAGNOSTICSENGINE (5VZ−FE)
1996 TOYOTA T100 (RM449U)
The diagnosis system operates in normal mode
during normal vehicle use. It also has a check mode
for technicians to simulate malfunction symptoms
and troubleshoot. Most DTCs use 2 trip detection
logic* to prevent erroneous detection, and ensure
thorough malfunction detection. By switching the
ECM to check mode when troubleshooting, the
technician can cause the MIL to light up for a mal-
function that is only detected once or momentarily
(TOYOTA hand−held tester only).
*2 trip detection logic: When a logic malfunction is
first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored
in the ECM memory. If the same malfunction is de-
tected again during the 2nd drive test, this 2nd
detection causes the MIL to light up.
The 2 trip repeats the same mode a 2nd time. (How-
ever, the ignition switch must be turned OFF be-
tween the 1st trip and 2nd trip.)
Freeze frame data:
Freeze frame data records the engine condition
when a misfire (DTCs P0300 − P0306) or fuel trim
malfunction (DTCs P0171, P0172) or other mal-
function (first malfunction only), is detected.
Because freeze frame data records the engine
conditions (fuel system, calculator load, engine
coolant temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, ve-
hicle speed, etc.) when the malfunction is detected,
when troubleshooting it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the en-
gine warmed up or not, the air−fuel ratio lean or rich,
etc. at the time of the malfunction.
Priorities for troubleshooting:
If troubleshooting priorities for multiple DTCs are given in the
applicable DTC chart, these should be followed.
If no instructions are given troubleshoot DTCs according to the
following priorities.
(1) DTCs other than fuel trim malfunction (DTCs
P0171, P0172), EGR (DTCs P0401, P0402) and
misfire (DTCs P0300 − P0306).
(2) Fuel trim malfunction (DTCs P0171, P0172) and
EGR (DTCs P0401, P0402).
(3) Misfire (DTCs P0300 − P0306).
(b) Check the DLC3
The vehicle’s ECM uses V.P.W. (Variable Pulse Width) for
communication to comply with SAE J1850. The terminal
arrangement of DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and
matches the V.P.W. format.

HINT:
If your display shows ”UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE”
when you have connected the cable of the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand−held tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch
ON and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on the ve-
hicle side or tool side.
If communication is normal when the tool is connected to
another vehicle, inspect DLC3 on the original vehicle.
If communication is still not possible when the tool is con-
nected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the
tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the
tool’s instruction manual.
2. INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (Normal Mode)
(a) Check the MIL
(1) The MIL comes on when the ignition switch is turned
ON and the engine is not running.
HINT:
If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the combination meter
(See page BE−36).
(2) When the engine started, the MIL should go off. If
the lamp remains on, the diagnosis system has de-
tected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
(b) Check the DTC.
NOTICE:
TOYOTA hand−held tester only: When the diagnosis sys-
tem is switched from normal mode to check mode, it erases
all DTCs and freezed frame data recorded in normal mode.
So before switching modes, always check the DTCs and
freezed frame data, and note them down.
(1) Prepare the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand−held tester.
(2) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand−
held tester to the DLC3 at the lower of the instru-
ment panel.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the OBD II
scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held tester switch ON.
(4) Use the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand−held
tester to check the DTCs and freezed frame data,
note them down. (For operating instructions, see
the OBD II scan tool’s instruction book.)
(5) See page DI−129 to confirm the details of the
DTCs.

NOTICE:
When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (ex-
cluding TOYOTA hand−held tester) to check the DTCs, use
normal mode. For code on the DTC chart subject to ”2 trip
detection logic”, turn the ignition switch OFF after the
symptom is simulated the 1st time. Then repeat the simula-
tion process again. When the problem has been simulated
twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are recorded in the
ECM.
3. INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (Check Mode)
HINT:
TOYOTA hand−held tester only:
Compared to the normal mode, the check mode has an in-
creased sensitivity to detect malfunctions.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected in
the normal mode can also be detected in the check mode.
(a) Check the DTC.
(1) Initial conditions
Battery positive voltage 11 V or more
Throttle valve fully closed
Transmission in ”P” or ”N” position
Air conditioning switched OFF
(2) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(3) Prepare the TOYOTA hand−held tester.
(4) Connect the TOYOTA hand−held tester to DLC3 at
the lower of the instrument panel.
(5) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the TOYOTA
hand−held tester switch ON.
(6) Switch the TOYOTA hand−held tester normal mode
to check mode (Check that the MIL flashes.).
(7) Start the engine. (The MIL goes out after the engine
start.)
(8) Simulate the conditions of the malfunction de-
scribed by the customer.
NOTICE:
Leave the ignition switch ON until you have checked the
DTCs, etc.
(9) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
TOYOTA hand−held tester diagnosis selector to
check the DTCs and freezed frame data, etc.
HINT:
Take care not to turn the ignition switch OFF. Turning the ignition
switch OFF switches the diagnosis system from check mode to
normal mode. so all DTCs, etc. are erased.
(10) After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable cir-
cuit.

1996 TOYOTA T100 (RM449U)
(b) Clear the DTC.
The following actions will erase the DTCs and freezed
frame data.
(1) Operating the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J1978) or TOYOTA hand−held tester to erase the
codes (See the OBD II scan tool’s instruction book
for operating instructions.).
(2) Disconnecting the battery terminals or EFI fuse.
NOTICE:
If the TOYOTA hand−held tester switches the ECM from
normal mode to check mode or vice−versa, or if the igni-
tion switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF during check
mode, the DTCs and freezed frame data will be erased.
4. FAIL−SAFE CHART

5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT:
TOYOTA HAND−HELD TESTER only:
By putting the vehicle’s ECM in check mode, 1 trip detection logic is possible instead of 2 trip detection logic
and sensitivity to detect open circuits is increased. This makes it easier to detect intermittent problems.
(a) Clear the DTCs (See step 3).
(b) Set the check mode (See step 3).
(c) Perform a simulation test (See page IN−16).
(d) Check the connector and terminal (See page IN−26).
(e) Handle the connector (See page IN−26).
6. BASIC INSPECTION
When the malfunction code is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be performed in the
order for all possible circuits to be considered as the causes of the problems. In many cases, by carrying
out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing the problem can be found
quickly and efficiently. Therefore, use of this check is essential in engine troubleshooting.
1 Is battery positive voltage 11 V or more when engine is stopped?
NO Charge or replace battery.
