INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If the CONSULT-III cannot diagnose the sys tem properly, check the following items.
NOTE:
The CAN and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 6, 7 and 14 may be connected to more than one system. A short in
any circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect CONSULT-III access to other systems.

Symptom Check item
CONSULT-III cannot access
any system. • CONSULT-III DLC power supply circuit (Terminal 8) and ground circuit (Terminal 4)
CONSULT-III cannot access in-
dividual system. (Other sys-
tems can be accessed.) • Power supply and ground circuit for the control unit of the system (For detailed circuit, refer to wiring
diagram for each system.)
• Open or short circuit between the system and CONSULT-III DLC (For detailed circuit, refer to wiring
diagram for each system.)
• Open or short circuit CAN communication line. Refer to LAN-14, "
Trouble Diagnosis Flow Chart".
