HINT:
According to the DATA LIST displayed by the hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor,
actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of troubleshooting is one
method to shorten labor time.
a. Warm up the engine.
b. Turn the ignition switch off.
c. Connect the hand-held tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface
module) to the DLC3.
d. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
e. Push the "ON" button of the hand-held tester.
f. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DATA LIST".
g. According to the display on tester, read the "DATA LIST".

Gear position during fail-safe operation:
If any malfunction is detected, the ECM changes into the fail-safe mode to shift into the gear positions as shown
in the table below.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF" and switching oil pressure to
the valves in the valve body.
The DTC indicates that the reverse sequence valve is locked in the direction the spring stretches and that
shifting to the 6th gear is impossible.

The ECM commands gear shifts by turning the shift solenoid valves "ON/OFF" and switching oil pressure to
the valves in the valve body.
The ECM calculates the "actual" transmission gear by comparing the signals from the input speed sensor (NT)
and the output speed sensor (SP2). The ECM can detect many mechanical problems in the shift solenoids, valve
body, and the transmission clutches, brakes, and gears. If the ECM detects that the actual gear position and the
commanded gear position are different, it will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

3.INSPECT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
a. Start the engine. Disconnect the vacuum hose as shown in the illustration.
b. From the hand-held tester ACTIVE TEST mode, select PURGE VSV. Check that a vacuum occurs
at the VSV port.
c. Exit ACTIVE TEST mode and reconnect the vacuum hose.
d. From the hand-held tester ECU DATA MONITOR mode, select PURGE VSV. Check operation of
the purge VSV.
e. Warm up the engine and drive the vehicle. Confirm that the purge VSV is turned from OFF to ON.

4.VISUALLY INSPECT HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS
a. Check for cracks, leaks or damage.
HINT:
Possible leakage points are indicated in the illustration.
Removal or problems with the engine oil dipstick, filler cap, PCV hose and other components may
cause the engine to run improperly. Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder head will allow air suction and cause the
engine trouble.

3.SYSTEM FUNCTION
When the steering lock ECU detects that the unlock warning switch is ON, the ECU provides current to
the transponder key coil and produces a faint electric wave. A transponder chip in the key and receives
the faint electric wave. Upon receiving the faint electric wave, the transponder chip outputs a key ID code
signal. The transponder key coil receives this signal, the transponder key amplifier amplifies it, and then
the signal is transmitted to the ECU.
The ECU matches the key's ID code with the vehicle's ID code, which was previously registered in the
ECU and then communicates the results to the ECM using SFI communication.
After the identification results show that the key's ID code matches the vehicle's ID code and the ECU has
confirmed their match: 1) the immobilizer system does not immobilize the engine and the engine starting
controls (fuel injection control and ignition control) enter standby mode; and 2) the ECU transmits a
security indicator signal that communicates "indicator off" to the theft warning ECU (theft deterrent
ECU). Then, the theft warning ECU turns off the security indicator lamp.
HINT:
Use this procedure to troubleshoot the engine immobilizer system.
The hand-held tester should be used in steps 4, 5 and 7.
