PRE-CHECK
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 an OBD II scan
tool complying with SAE J1987 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 DTCs pre-
scribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM
memory (See page DI-14).
If the malfunction only occurs in 3-trip, the MIL goes
off but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM
memory.
To check the DTCs, connect an OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand-held tester to DLC3 on the vehicle.
The OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester
also enables you to erase the DTCs and check
freeze frame data and various forms of engine data
(For instruction book).
DTCs include SAE controlled codes and Manufac-
turer controlled codes.
SAE controlled codes must be set as prescribed by
the SAE, while Manufacturer controlled codes can
be set freely by the manufacturer within the pre-
scribed limits (See DTC chart on page ).
