HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS
GENERAL INFORMATION
There are many ECU controlled systems used in the AVENSIS. In general, ECU controlled system are con-
sidered to be very intricate and require a high level of technical knowledge an\
d expert skill to troubleshoot.
The fact is, however, that if you proceed by inspecting the circuits one by one, troubleshoo\
ting of these sys-
tems is not complex. If you have adequate understanding of the system and ba\
sic knowledge of electricity,
the problem can be accurately diagnosed and fixed. This manual is design\
ed based on the above principle
to help service technicians perform accurate and effective troubleshooting, and is compiled for the following
major ECU controlled systems:
The troubleshooting procedures are described on the following pages.

FOR USING HAND±HELD TESTER

Before using the tester, the tester's operator manual should be read thoroughly.

If the tester cannot communicate with the ECU controlled systems when you \
have connected the cable
of tester to the DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and operated the test\
er, there is a problem on the
vehicle side or tester side.
(1) If the communication is normal when the tester is connected to another veh\
icle, inspect the diag-
nosis data link line (Bus
line) or ECU power circuit of the vehicle.
(2) If the communication is still impossible when the tester is connected to a\
nother vehicle, the prob- lem is probably in the tester itself, so perform the Self Test procedures outlined in the Tester Oper-
ator 's Manual.

INTRODUCTION HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED

AVENSIS REPAIR MANUAL (RM1018E)
SYMPTOM SIMULATION
HINT:
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no symptoms occurs. In such cases\
, a thorough customer
problem analysis must be carried out. Then the same or similar conditions and e\
nvironment in which the
problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be simulated. No matter how much experience a techni-
cian has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without c\
onfirming the problem symptoms,
he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make a wrong guess somewhere,
which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only o\
ccurs when the engine is cold,
or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during d\
riving, etc., the problem can never
be determined when the engine is hot or when the vehicles is at a standsti\
ll. Since vibration, heat or water
penetration (moisture) is a likely cause for the problem which is difficult to reproduce, the symptom simulation
tests introduced here are effective measures in a point that the external causes are applied to the vehicle
in a stationary condition.
Important points in the symptom simulation test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should be confirmed, \
and the problem area or parts
must also be discovered. To do so, reduce the possible problem circuits according to the symptoms before
starting this type of test and have the hand±held tester connected beforehand\
. After that, carry out the symp-
tom simulation test, judging whether the circuit being tested is defective \
or normal and also confirming the
problem symptoms at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table of each system to narrow down
the possible causes of the symptom.
1. VIBRATION METHOD: When vibration seems to be
the major cause.
(a) PART AND SENSOR
(1) Apply slight vibration with your finger to the part ofthe sensor considered to be the problem cause and
check whether the malfunction occurs.
HINT:
Applying strong vibration to relays may result in open relays.
(b) CONNECTORS (1) Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizon-tally.
(c) WIRE HARNESS
(1) Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and hori-zontally.
The connector joint and fulcrum of the vibration are
the major areas that should be checked thoroughly.
2. HEAT METHOD: If the problem seems to occur when the area in question is heated.
(a) Heat the component that is the possible cause of the mal- function with a hair dryer or similar object. Check if the
malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:

Do not heat the components to more than 60 C
(140 F) (Temperature is limited to keep the compo-
nents from being damaged).
