DLC3 (Data Link Connector 3)
The vehicle's ECM uses the ISO 15765-4 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3
complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.
HINT:
Connect the cable of the hand-held tester to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch ON and attempt to use the hand-
held tester. If the screen displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, a problem exists in the vehicle side
or the tester side.
If the communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original
vehicle.
If the communication is still impossible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably
in the tool itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction manual.

CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
Battery voltage: 11 to 14 V
If voltage is below 11 V, replace the battery before proceeding.
CHECK MIL
a. Check that the MIL illuminates when turning the ignition switch ON.
If the MIL does not illuminate, there is a problem in the MIL circuit (refer to MIL CIRCUIT
)
b. When the engine is started, the MIL should turn off.
ALL READINESS
For this vehicle, using the hand-held tester allows readiness codes corresponding to all DTCs to be read. When
diagnosis (normal or malfunctioning) has been complete, readiness codes are set. Enter the following menus:
ENHANCED OBD II/ MONITOR STATUS on the hand-held tester.
DTC CHECK/CLEAR
1.CHECK DTC
DTCs which are stored in the ECM can be displayed with the hand-held tester or generic OBD II scan-
tool.
These scan tools can display pending DTCs and current DTCs. Some DTC aren't stored if the ECM
doesn't detect a malfunction during consecutive driving. However, the detected malfunction during once
driving is stored as pending DTC.
1. Connect the hand-held tester to the Controller Area Network Vehicle Interface Module (CAN
VIM). Then connect the CAN VIM to the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3).
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS/ ENHANCED OBD II/ DTC INFO/ CURRENT CODES
(or PENDING CODE).
4. Confirm the DTCs and freeze frame data and then write them down.
5. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
to confirm the details of the DTCs.

b. Fail-safe operation for mechanically malfunction:
HINT:
Fail-safe operation in the event of a mechanical system malfunction.
Fail safe function:
The ECM controls the gear position as shown in the table below when malfunctions occur.

DATA LIST/ACTIVE TEST
1.DATA LIST
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".

2.ACTIVE TEST
HINT:
Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand-held tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to
operate without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one
method to shorten labor time.
It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.
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/ACTIVE TEST".
g. According to the display on tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".

1.INSPECT PARK/NEUTRAL POSITION SWITCH ASSY
a. Disconnect the park/neutral position switch connector.
b. Measure resistance according to the value(s) in the table below when the shift lever is moved to
each position.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs indicate an open or short in the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor circuit. The
automatic transmission fluid (ATF) temperature sensor converts ATF temperature to an electrical resistance
value. Based on the resistance, the ECM determines the ATF temperature, and the ECM detects an opens or
shorts in the ATF temperature circuit. If the resistance value of the ATF temperature is less than 79ohms*1 or
more than 156kohms*2, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ATF sensor or wiring. The ECM will turn on
the MIL and store the DTC.
*1: 150°C (302°F) or more is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
*2: -40°C (-40°F) is indicated regardless of the actual ATF temperature.
HINT:
The ATF temperature can be checked on the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester display.
