2. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
The diagnostic system in the AVALON fulfills various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic Trouble
Code Check in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in code in the ECU memory
at the time of occurrence, to be output by the technician during troubleshooting. Another function is the Input
Signal Check which checks if the signals from various switches are sent to the ECU correctly.
By using these check functions, the problem areas can be narrowed down quickly and troubleshooting can
be performed effectively. Diagnostic functions are incorporated in the following systems in the AVALON.

In diagnostic trouble code check, it is very important to determine whether the problem indicated by the diag-
nostic trouble code is still occurring or occurred in the past but returned to normal at present. In addition,
it must be checked in the problem symptom check whether the malfunction indicated by the diagnostic
trouble code is directly related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the diagnostic trouble codes
should be checked before and after the symptom confirmation to determine the current conditions, as shown
in the table below. If this is not done, it may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting
for normally operating systems, thus making it more difficult to locate the problem, or in repairs not pertinent
to the problem. Therefore, always follow the procedure in correct order and perform the diagnostic trouble
code check.

(k) Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the
vehicle. Be sure to lift and support the vehicle at the prop-
er locations (See page IN-8).
Cancel the parking brake on the level place and
shift the transmission in Neutral (or N position).
When jacking up the front wheels of the vehicle at
first place stoppers behind the rear wheels.
When jacking up the rear wheels of the vehicle at
first place stoppers before the front wheels.
When either the front or rear wheels only should be
jacked up, set rigid racks and place stoppers in front
and behind the other wheels on the ground.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it
on rigid racks . It is extremely dangerous to do any
work on a vehicle raised on a jack alone, even for
a small job that can be finished quickly.
(l) Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to the
following parts:
(1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless
absolutely necessary. (If the IC terminals are
touched, the IC may be destroyed by static electric-
ity.)
(2) To disconnect vacuum hoses, pull off the end, not
the middle of the hose.
(3) To pull apart electrical connectors, pull on the con-
nector itself, not the wires.
(4) Be careful not to drop electrical components, such
as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard
floor, they should be replaced and not reused.
(5) When steam cleaning an engine, protect the elec-
tronic components, air filter and emission-related
components from water.
(6) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install
temperature switches or temperature sensors.
