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, so consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction
manual.
1.INDICATOR CHECK
a. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position while pressing the A/C control AUTO switch and R/F
(Recirculation/Fresh) switch simultaneously.

b. Check that the all indicators come on and go off 4 times in succession at 1 second intervals.
HINT:
After the indicator check is completed, the system enters the DTC mode automatically.
Press the "OFF" switch to cancel the indicator mode.

2.DTC CHECK USING HAND-HELD TESTER
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Read the DTC following the prompts on the tester screen. Please refer to the hand-held tester
operator's manual for further details.
c. Clear the DTCs.
HINT:
After repairing the malfunctions, clear the DTC.
1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Erase the DTCs followin
g the prompts on the tester screen.

1.ACTUATOR CHECK
a. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position while pressing the A/C control AUTO switch and R/F
(Recirculation / Fresh) switch simultaneously.
b. Press the R/F (Recirculation / Fresh) switch.
c. As each damper, motor and relay automatically operate the actuator check at 1 second intervals
from STEP No. 1 to No. 10 continuousl
y, check the temperature and air flow visually and by hand.

1.DATA LIST
HINT:
From the DATA LIST displayed on the hand-held tester, you can read the values of the displays, sensors,
actuators and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first STEP of troubleshooting
is one way to shorten labor time.
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. From the display on the tester, select the "DATA LIST".

2.ACTIVE TEST
HINT:
Performing the ACTIVE TEST
using the hand-held tester allows the relays, VSV, actuators and so on to
operate without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST
as the first STEP of troubleshooting is
one way to shorten labor time.
It is possible to display the DATA LIST on the hand-held tester during the ACTIVE TEST.
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. From the display on tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST
".
