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.

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.

5.ACTIVE TEST
HINT:
Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the hand±held tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to oper-
ate without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one of the
method to shorten the 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 to the DLC3.
(d)Turn the ignition switch ON.
(e)According to the display on tester, perform the ºACTIVE TESTº.

6.PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
(a)Taking into consideration the results of the customer problem analysis, try to\
reproduce the symptoms of the trouble. If the problem is that the transaxle does not shift up, sh\
ift down, or the shift point is too
high or too low, conduct the following road test referring to the automatic shift sched\
ule and simulate
the problem symptoms.
7.ROAD TEST
NOTICE:
Conduct the test at normal operating ATF temperature 50 to 80 C (122 to 176 F).
(a)D range test Shift into the D range and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check\
the following points:
(1)Check up±shift operation.Check to see that 1 2, 2 3 and 3 O/D up±shift take place, and that the shift points conform
to the automatic shift schedule (See page 03±45).
HINT:
O/D Gear Up±shift Prohibition Control (1. Water temp. is 60 C (140 F) or less. 2. If there is a 10 km/h
(6 mph) difference between the set cruise control speed and vehicle speed.)

the following points:
(1)Check up±shift operation.Check to see that 1 2, 2 3 and 3 O/D up±shift take place, and that the shift points conform

(6 mph) difference between the set cruise control speed and vehicle speed.)
O/D Gear Lock±up Prohibition Control (1. Brake pedal is depressed. 2. Water temp. is 60 C (140 F)
or lower)
(2)Check for shift shock and slip. Check for shock and slip at the 1 2, 2 3 and 3 O/D up±shift.
(3)Check for abnormal noise and vibration.
Run in D range lock±up or O/D gear and check for abnormal noise and v\
ibration.
HINT:
The check for the cause of abnormal noise and vibration must be done very t\
horoughly as it could also be
sure to loss of balance in the differential, torque converter, etc. (4)Check kick±down operation.While running in the D range, 2nd, 3rd and O/D gears, check to see that the p\
ossible kick±down
vehicle speed limits for 2 1, 3 2 and O/D 3 kick±downs conform to those indicated in the
automatic shift schedule (See page 03±45).
(5) Check for abnormal shock and slip at kick±down.
(6) Check the lock±up mechanism.
Drive in D range O/D gear, at a steady speed (lock±up ON) of about 60 km/h (37 mph).
Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change
abruptly.
If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock±up.
(b) S range test Shift to the S range, depress the accelerator pedal and check the follow\
ing points:
Shift operations.
Shifting the shift lever to º+º or º±º changes the shift \
range on the combination meter.
HINT:
Manual shift prohibition control is performed when:
The ATF temperature is low.
Down±shifting causes engine overrun.
Down±shifting is required continuously. (Down±shifting to 1st gear may not be performed.)
(c) R range test Shift into the R range and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check\
for slipping.
CAUTION:
Before conducting this test, ensure that the test area is free from peop\
le and obstruction.
(d) P range test Stop the vehicle on a grade (more than 5 ) and after shifting into the P range, release the parking
brake. Then, check to see that the parking lock pawl holds the vehicle in plac\
