During diagnosis, a DTC code associated with
other system may be set when the ignition
switch is turned on with connector(s) discon-
nected. On completion, confirm all systems
for DTC code(s). If DTC code(s) are set, erase
them all.
When the DIAGNOSTIC TOOL (MUT-III)
detects a diagnostic trouble code, its display
informs users whether a mechanical problem
currently exists (“current trouble”) or whether
it existed before but normal operation has
been restored (“past trouble”). However, if an
MPI, TPMS or SRS airbag-related DTC is set,
“Active DTC/Stored DTC” is not displayed. In
this case, follow the diagnosis procedure for
current trouble.
If a trouble, detected in a CAN communica-
tion-capable system, can be reproduced,
diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP
54C, Can Bus Line Diagnostics Chart
P.54C-15 or P.54C-15).
Troubleshooting of electronic control systems for
which the MUT -III can be used follows the basic out-
line described below. Even in systems for which the
MUT-III cannot be used, part of these systems still
follow this outline.
1. STANDARD FLOW OF DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting strategy is shown in each group.
2. SYSTEM OPERATION AND SYMPTOM
VERIFICATION TESTS
If verification of the symptom(s) is difficult, proce-
dures for checking operation and verifying symptoms
are shown.
3. DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
The following trouble code diagnoses are shown.

4. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
If the MUT-III displays a diagnostic trouble code, find
the applicable inspection procedure according to this
chart.
5. SYMPTOM CHART
If there are symptoms, even though the MUT-III
shows that no DTCs are set, inspection procedures
for each symptom will be found by using this chart.
6. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
PROCEDURES
Indicates the inspection procedures corresponding to
each diagnostic trouble code. (Refer to P.00-9).
7. SYMPTOM PROCEDURES
Indicates the inspection procedures corresponding to
each symptom listed in the Symptom Chart (Refer to
P.00-9).
8. SERVICE DATA REFERENCE TABLE
Inspection items and normal judgment values have
been provided in this chart as reference information.
9. CHECK AT ECU TERMINALS
Terminal numbers for the ECU connectors, inspec-
tion items, and standard values have been provided
in this chart as reference information.
.
TERMINAL VOLTAGE CHECKS
1. Use correct tool to check each pin location on the
ENGINE-ECU Check harnes MB992044 and
measure with voltmeter.
Short-circuiting the positive (+) test probe
between a connector terminal and ground could
damage the vehicle wiring, the sensor, the ECU,
or all three. Use care to prevent this!
2. Insert the correct terminal tool into each of the
ENGINE-ECU check harness connector
terminals, and measure the voltage while referring
to the check chart.
NOTE: Measure voltage with the ECU connectors
connected.
You may find it convenient to pull out the ECU to
make it easier to connect the ENGINE-ECU check
harness.
