HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS
GENERAL INFORMATION
A large number of ECU controlled systems are used in the SEQUOIA. 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 SEQUOIA 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 SEQUOIA.

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 on the next page. If this is not done, it may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary trouble-
shooting 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.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTER
HINT:
This confirmation driving pattern is used in steps 5, 8 and 11 of the following diagnostic troubleshooting
procedure when using either a hand±held tester.
Performing this confirmation pattern will activate the Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor monitor. (The cata-
lyst monitor is performed simultaneously.) This is very useful for verifying the completion of a repair.
(a) Connect a hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the tester or scan tool ON.
(d) Clear DTCs (where set) (see page DI±43).
(e) If using a hand±held tester, select the following menu
items: DIAGNOSIS / CARB OBD II / READINESS
TESTS.
(f) Check that O2S EVAL is INCMPL (incomplete).
(g) Start the engine and warm it up.
(h) Drive the vehicle at between 40 mph and 70 mph (64 km/h
and 113 km/h) for at least 10 minutes.
(i) Note the state of the Readiness Tests items. Those items
will change to COMPL (complete) as O2S EVAL monitor
operates.
(j) On the tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNO-
SIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / PENDING
CODES and check if any DTCs (any pending DTCs) are
set.
HINT:
If O2S EVAL does not change to COMPL, and any pending
DTCs fail to set, extend the driving time.
