HINT:
If your display shows ºUNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLEº
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 its self, so consult the Service Department listed in
the tool's instruction manual.
2. Normal Mode:
INSPECT DIAGNOSIS
(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.
(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 the normal mode to the check mode,
it erases all DTC and freeze frame data recorded in the nor-
mal mode. So before switching modes, always check the
DTC and freeze frame data, and note them down.
(1) Prepare the OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE
J 1978) or TOYOTA hand-held tester.
(2) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-
held tester to DLC3 in the fuse box at the lower left
of the instrument panel.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn 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 DTC and freezed frame data;
note them down (For operating instructions, see the
OBD II scan tool's instruction book.).
(5) See page DI-13 to confirm the details of the
DTC.

- DIAGNOSTICSENGINE
1996 TERCEL (RM440U)
NOTICE:
When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (ex-
cluding TOYOTA hand-held tester) to check the DTC, use
the normal mode. For code on the DTC chart subject to º2
trip detection logicº, turn the ignition switch OFF after the
symptom is simulated the first time. Then repeat the simu-
lation process again. When the problem has been simu-
lated twice, the MIL lights up and the DTC are recorded in
the ECM.
3. Check Mode:
INSPECT DIAGNOSIS
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 11V or more.
Throttle valve fully closed.
Transmission in ºPº or ºNº 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 in
the fuse box at the lower left of the instrument panel.
(5) Turn the ignition switch ON and switch the TOYOTA
hand-held tester ON.
(6) Switch the TOYOTA hand-held tester normal mode
to check mode. (Check that the MIL flashes.)
(7) Switch the engine. (The MIL goes out after the en-
gine start.)
(8) Simulate the conditions of the malfunction de-
scribed by the customer.
NOTICE:
Leave the ignition switch ON until you have checked the
DTC, etc.
(9) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
TOYOTA hand-held tester diagnosis selector to
check the DTC 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 DTC, etc. are erased.
(10) After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable cir-
cuit.
