SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
HINT:

The diagnostic system in AVENSIS has various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) Check, in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in code form in
the ECU memory. Another function is the Input Signal Check, which checks if the signals from various
switches are sent to the ECU correctly. By using these check functions, it is possible to quickly narrow
down potential problem areas and troubleshooting can be performed effectively. The diagnostic func-
tions are incorporated in the following systems in the AVENSIS.

In the DTC check, it is very important to determine whether the problem indicated by the DTC is still
occurring or has occurred in the past but returned to normal at present. In addition during the problem
symptom check, it a check must be made on whether the malfunction indicated by the DTC is directly
related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the DTC should be checked before and after
symptom confirmation to determine the current conditions. If this is not done, it may, depending on the
case, result in unnecessary troubleshooting for systems that are operating normally. This would make
more difficult to detect the problem area or to try to repair irrelevant areas. Therefore, always follow
the procedures in the correct order and perform the DTC check.

A flow chart showing how to proceed with troubleshooting using the diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
check is shown the this page. This flow chart shows how to utilize the DTC check effectively. Then,
by carefully checking the results, this chart indicates how to proceed either to the DTC troubleshooting
or to the troubleshooting of the problem symptoms table.

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 environment 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 confirming 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 occurs when the engine is cold,
or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during driving, etc., the problem can never
be determined when the engine is hot or when the vehicles is at a standstill. 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 of
the 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 60C
(140F) (Temperature is limited to keep the compo-
nents from being damaged).

SYSTEMS
AVENSIS REPAIR MANUAL (RM1018E)

Do not apply heat directly to the parts in the ECU.
3. WATER SPRINKLING METHOD: When the malfunc-
tion seems to occur on a rainy day or in high±humid-
ity.
(a) Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check if the malfunc-
tion occurs.
NOTICE:

Never sprinkle water directly onto the engine
compartment, but indirectly change the temperature
and humidity by spraying a mist of water onto the ra-
diator front surface.

Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents.
HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaking water may
contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, this factor must also be considered.
4. OTHERS: If the malfunction seems to occur when
electrical load is excessive.
(a) Turn on all the electrical equipment including the heater
blower, headlights, rear window defogger, etc., and check
if the malfunction occurs.

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.

(±) terminal cable is disconnected. If necessary, be
sure to initialize the system.
(b) HANDLING OF ELECTRONIC PARTS
(1) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU unless
absolutely necessary (If the IC terminals are
touched, the IC may be rendered inoperative by
static electricity).
(2) To disconnect electronic connectors, pull the con-
nector itself, not the wires.
(3) Be careful not to drop electronic components, such
as sensors or relays. If they are dropped on a hard
floor, they should be replaced and not be reused.
(4) When cleaning the engine with steam, protect the
electronic components, air filter and emission±re-
lated components from water.
(5) Never use an impact wrench to remove or install
temperature switches or temperature sensors.
(6) When checking the continuity at the wire connector,
insert the tester probe carefully to prevent terminals
from bending.
4. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF FUEL CONTROL PARTS
(a) PLACE FOR REMOVING AND INSTALLING OF FUEL SYSTEM PARTS
(1) Work in a place with good air ventilation and without anything that could cause combustion
around you such as a welder, grinder, drill, electric motor or stove.
(2) Never work in a place such as a pit or nearby a pit, as there is a possibility that vaporized fuel
will collect in those places.
(b) REMOVING AND INSTALLING OF FUEL SYSTEM PARTS
(1) Prepare a fire extinguisher before starting operations.
(2) To prevent static electricity, install a ground on the fuel changer, vehicle and fuel tank, and do
not spray much water so as to prevent slipping.
(3) Never use any electric equipment like an electric motor or a working light, as they may create
sparks or a high temperature.
(4) Never use an iron hammer, as it may create sparks.
(5) Dispose of shop rags containing fuel deposits separately.
5. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF ENGINE INTAKE
PARTS
(a) If any metal tip is mixed in the inlet pass, this may give a
bad effect to the engine and turbocharger.
(b) When removing and installing the inlet system parts,
close the opening of the removed inlet system parts and
the engine with a clean waste cloth or gum tape.
(c) When installing the inlet system parts, check that there is
no mixing of a metal tip.
