TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspection Method for Sensors
1. Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
2. Turn the engine switch to ON (Engine OFF).
Note
•If the engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.
3. Access PIDs for the switch you are inspecting.
4. Vibrate the sensor slightly with your finger.
•If the PID value is unstable or malfunction occurs, check for poor connection and/or poorly mounted
sensor.
Inspection Method for Actuators or Relays
1. Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
2. Turn the engine switch to ON (Engine OFF).
Note
•If the engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.
3. Prepare the Output State Control for actuators or relays that you are inspecting.
4. Vibrate the actuator or relay with your finger for 3
seconds after Output State Control is activated.
•If a variable click sound is heard, check for
poor connection and/or poorly mounted
actuator or relay.
Note
•Vibrating relays too strongly may result in
open relays.
Water Sprinkling Method
Caution
•Indirectly change the temperature and humidity by spraying water onto the front of the radiator.
•If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leakage may damage the control module. When testing
a vehicle with a water leakage problem, special caution must be used.
If malfunction occurs only during high humidity or rainy/snowy weather, perform the following steps.
1. Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2 if you are inspecting sensors or switches.
2. Turn the engine switch to ON (Engine OFF).
Note
•If the engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.
3. Access PIDs for sensor or switch if you are inspecting sensors or switches.
4. If you are inspecting a switch, turn it on manually.
5. Spray water onto the vehicle or run it through a
car wash.
•If the PID value is unstable or malfunction
occurs, repair or replace part as necessary.
