(b) Check the DLC3.
The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 9141±2 for communication.
The terminal arrangement of DLC3 complies with SAE
J1962 and matches the ISO 9141±2 format.

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 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±46).
(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 DTC and freezed frame data recorded in normal mode.
So before switching modes, always check the DTC 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 DLC3 at the lower center 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 DTC and freezed frame data and
note them down (For operating instructions, see the
OBD II scan tool's instruction book.).
(5) See page DI±197 to confirm the details of the DTC.
NOTICE:

When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool
(excluding TOYOTA hand±held tester) to check the
DTC, use normal mode. For code on the DTC chart
subject to º2 trip detection logicº, performe the fol-
lowing either action.

Turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is
simulated the first time. Then repeat the simulation
process again. When the problem has been simulated
twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are recorded in
the ECM.

Check the 1st trip DTC using Mode 7 (Continuous Test
Results) for SAE J1979.
(c) Clear the DTC.
The DTCs and freezed frame data will be erased by either
action.

Operating the OBD II scan tool (complying
with SAE J1978) or TOYOTA hand±held tes-
ter to erase the codes. (See the OBD II scan
tool's instruction book for operating instruc-
tions.)

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 ignition
switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF during check
mode, the DTCs and freezed frame data will be erased.
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.

(2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
(3) Prepare the TOYOTA hand±held tester.
(4) Connect the TOYOTA hand±held tester to the
DLC3 at the lower center 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.).
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 DTC and freezed frame data will be erased.
(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
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.

5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
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.
(1) Clear the DTC (See page DI±197).
(2) Set the check mode (See page DI±197).
(3) Perform a simulation test (See page IN±21).
(4) Check the connector and terminal (See page IN±31).
(5) Handle the connector (See page IN±31).
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.
