DLC Inspection

  1. If scan tool displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE when scan tool is connected, try scan tool on another vehicle. If scan tool operates on another vehicle, go to next step. If scan tool does not operate on another vehicle, problem is probably with scan tool.
  2. Check DLC3 for loose or damaged terminals. Ensure DLC3 terminals are in correct position in connector. See ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL.
  3. Check voltage and resistance between ground and specified terminal on DLC3. See DLC3 VOLTAGE & RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS  table. See Fig 1. If voltage and resistance readings are not as specified, check wiring circuit. See ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL.
