REGISTRATION
NOTICE:
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be input
into the replacement ECM.
HINT:
The VIN is a 17-digit alphanumeric vehicle identification
number. The intelligent tester is required to register the VIN.
1. INPUT INSTRUCTIONS
(a) The general VIN input instructions using the
intelligent tester are shown below:
(b) The arrow buttons (UP, DOWN, RIGHT and LEFT)
and numerical buttons (0 to 9) are used to input the
VIN.
(c) Cursor Operation
To move the cursor around the tester screen, press
the RIGHT and LEFT buttons.
(d) Alphabetical Character Input
(1) Press the UP and DOWN buttons to select the
desired alphabetical character.
(e) Numerical Character Input
(1) Press the numerical button corresponding to
the number that you want to input.
HINT:
Numerical characters can be selected by using
the UP and DOWN buttons.
(f) Correction
(1) When correcting the input character(s), put the
cursor onto the character using the RIGHT and
LEFT buttons.
(2) Select or input the correct character using the
UP and DOWN buttons, or the numerical
buttons.
(g) Finishing Input Operation
(1) Make sure that the input VIN matches the
vehicle VIN after input.
(2) Press the ENTER button on the tester.
2. READ VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
(a) The VIN reading process is shown in the flowchart
below. Reading the VIN stored in the ECM is
necessary when comparing it to the VIN provided
with the vehicle.
(b) Read the VIN using the intelligent tester.
(c) Check the vehicle's VIN.
(d) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(e) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(f) Turn the tester ON.

(g) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / VIN.
3. WRITE VIN
(a) The VIN writing process is shown in the flowchart
below. This process allows the VIN to be input into
the ECM. If the ECM is changed, or the ECM VIN
and Vehicle VIN do not match, the VIN can be
registered, or overwritten in the ECM by following
this procedure.
(b) Write VIN using the intelligent tester.
(c) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(e) Turn the tester ON.

CHECKING MONITOR STATUS
The purpose of the monitor result (mode 06) is to allow
access to the results for on-board diagnostic monitoring tests
of specific components/systems that are not continuously
monitored. Examples are catalyst, evaporative emission
(EVAP) and thermostat.
The monitor result allows the OBD II scan tool to display the
monitor status, test value, minimum test limit and maximum
test limit. These data are displayed after the vehicle has been
driven to run the monitor.
When the test value is not between the minimum test limit
and maximum test limit, the ECM (PCM) interprets this as a
malfunction. When the component is not malfunctioning, if the
difference of the test value and test limit is very small, the
component will malfunction in the near future.
Perform the following instructions to view the monitor status.
Although the Lexus diagnostic tester is used in the following
instructions, it can be checked using a generic OBD II scan
tool. Refer to your scan tool operator's manual for specific
procedures.
1. PERFORM MONITOR DRIVE PATTERN
The monitor results and test values can be checked with
the OBD II scan tool or the intelligent tester. The engine
control module (ECM) monitors the emissions-related
components such as the thermostat, catalyst converter
and evaporative emissions (EVAP), and determines
whether they are functioning normally or not. When
monitoring is finished, the ECM stores the monitor
results and the test values. The monitor result indicates
whether the component is functioning normally or not.
The test value is the value that was used to determine
the monitor result. If the test value is outside of the test
limit (malfunction criterion), the ECM determines the
component is malfunctioning. Some emissions-related
components have multiple test values to determine
monitor result. If one of these test values is outside of the
test limit, the ECM determines the component is
malfunctioning.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and turn the tester on.
(c) Clear the DTCs.
(d) Run the vehicle in accordance with the applicable
drive pattern described in READINESS MONITOR
DRIVE PATTERN (See page ES-22). DO NOT turn
the ignition switch off.
NOTICE:
The test results will be lost if the ignition switch
is turned off.
