Data List/Active Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. READ DATA LIST 

    HINT:

    Using the DATA LIST displayed on the intelligent tester, you can read the value of the switches, sensors, actuators, etc. without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step in troubleshooting is one way to shorten the labor time.

    1. Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/ MOBD / IMMOBILIZER / DATA LIST.

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST

    Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the intelligent tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator, etc. to operate without removing any parts. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step in troubleshooting is one way to shorten labor time.

    1. Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/ MOBD / IMMOBILIZER / ACTIVE TEST.
