Diagnosis System

  1. DESCRIPTION 
    1. The active control engine mount ECU controls the functions of the CAN communication system on the vehicle. Data of the CAN communication system and the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can be read through the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle.
  2. CHECK DLC3 

    The vehicle's ECU uses ISO 15765-4 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.

    HINT:

    The DLC3 is the interface prepared for reading various data from the vehicle's ECU. After connecting the cable of Techstream, turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester on. If a communication failure message is displayed on the tester screen, a problem exists in either the vehicle or tester. In order to identify the location of the problem, connect the tester to another vehicle. If communication is normal: Inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.

    If communication is still not possible: The problem is probably in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the instruction manual.

    1. Techstream

      HINT:

      Connect the cable of Techstream to the DLC3, turn the engine switch on (IG) and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.

      • If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.
      • If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.
  3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE 

    Standard Voltage: 

    11 to 14 V 

    If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.
