HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS
GENERAL INFORMATION
A large number of ECU controlled systems are used in the PRIUS. In general, the ECU controlled system
is considered to be a very intricate system requiring a high level of technical knowledge and expert skill to
troubleshoot. However, the fact is that if you proceed to inspect the circuits one by one, troubleshooting of
these systems is not complex. If you have adequate understanding of the system and a basic knowledge
of electricity, accurate diagnosis and necessary repair can be performed to locate and fix the problem. This
manual is designed through emphasis of the above standpoint to help service technicians perform accurate
and effective troubleshooting, and is compiled for the following major ECU controlled systems:
The troubleshooting procedure and how to make use of it are described on the following pages.

FOR USING OBD II SCAN TOOL OR TOYOTA HAND±HELD TESTER
Before using the scan tool or tester, the scan tool's instruction book or tester's operator manual should
be read thoroughly.
If the scan tool or tester cannot communicate with ECU controlled systems when you have connected
the cable of the scan tool or tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and operated the scan tool,
there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.
(1) If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect the diagnosis
data link line (Busline) or ECU power circuit of the vehicle.
(2) If communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem
is probably in the tool itself, so perform the Self Test procedures outline in the Tester Operator's
Manual.

2. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
The diagnostic system in the PRIUS 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 PRIUS.
