Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was LEAN or RICH, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  1. INSPECT FUSE (ETCS) 
    1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room No. 1 R/B.
    2. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

    Standard: Below 1 Ω

    NG: REPLACE FUSE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ DATA LIST (+BM VOLTAGE) 
    1. Connect the hand-held tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / +BM.

    Standard: 9 to 14V 

    OK: See  CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS   ) 

    NG: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (ECM - ETCS FUSE - BATTERY) 
    1. Remove the ETCS fuse from the engine room No. 1 R/B.
    2. Disconnect the E5 ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

    Standard: 

    ECM - ETCS FUSE - BATTERY - RESISTANCE TABLE

    Tester Connection Specified Condition
    R/B ETCS fuse terminal 1 - Battery positive (+) terminal Below 1 Ω
    R/B ETCS fuse terminal 1 or Battery positive (+) terminal - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
    R/B ETCS fuse terminal 2 - E5-5 (+BM) Below 1 Ω
    R/B ETCS fuse terminal 2 or E5-5 (+BM) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
