PS
If the result is not as specified, the ECU may have a
malfunction.
DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. CHECK DLC3
(a) Check the DLC3:
The power steering ECU uses CAN (ISO11898-1)
and ISO9141-2 for communication protocol. The
terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with
SAE J1962 and matches the ISO9141-2 format.
NOTICE:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the
vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not
operate the ignition switch, other switches or
the doors.
If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have
a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and
connector.
HINT:
Connect the cable of the intelligent tester to the
DLC3, turn the ignition switch ON and attempt to
use the tester. If the display indicates that a
communication error has occurred, there is a
problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.

• If communication is normal when the tester is
connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3
of the original vehicle.
• If communication is still not possible when the
tester is connected to another vehicle, the
problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the
Service Department listed in the tester's
instruction manual.
2. WARNING LIGHT
(a) When a problem occurs in the electronic power
steering system, the P/S warning light on the
combination meter comes on to inform the driver of
the problem.
DTC CHECK / CLEAR
1. CHECK DTC
(a) When using intelligent tester:
(1) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to
the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON and press the
intelligent tester main switch ON.
(3) Read the DTCs by following the prompts on the
intelligent tester.
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual
for further details.
(b) When not using intelligent tester:
(1) Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4
(CG) of the DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.

(3) Read and write down any DTCs indicated by the
P/S warning light on the combination meter.
Refer to the chart below for examples of a
normal code and DTCs 21 and 22.
HINT:
• If the P/S warning light does not blink to
display any DTCs set or the normal code,
inspect the circuit shown in the table below.
• If two or more malfunctions are detected
simultaneously, DTCs will be displayed in
ascending numerical order.
(4) Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart (See
page PS-16) for DTC information.
2. CLEAR DTC
(a) When using intelligent tester:
(1) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to
the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON and press the
intelligent tester main switch ON.
(3) Clear the DTCs by following the prompts on the
intelligent tester.
(4) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(5) Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.

FREEZE FRAME DATA
1. FREEZE FRAME DATA
NOTICE:
• It is difficult to show the specified values
(judgment values) clearly because freeze frame
data values change significantly due to
differences in measurement conditions,
surroundings, or vehicle conditions. For this
reason, there may be a problem even when the
values are within specifications.
• Turn the ignition switch ON and park the vehicle
on level ground. Check the freeze frame data by
using intelligent tester.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the
DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and check the freeze
frame data by following the prompts on the
intelligent tester display.
