July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

PID/Data Monitor Inspection

  1. Connect the M-MDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.

  2. After the vehicle is identified, from the initial screen select the following items:
    • When using the IDS (laptop PC) 
      1. Select the "Tool Box" tab
      2. Select "DataLogger"
      3. Select "Modules"
      4. Select "PCM"
    • When using the PDS (Pocket PC) 
      1. Select "Modules tests"
      2. Select "PCM"
      3. Select "DataLogger"
  3. Select the PID from the PID table.
  4. Verify the PID data according to the directions on the M-MDS screen
    NOTE:
    • Perform part inspection for the output device after PCM inspection.
    • The PID/DATA MONITOR function monitors the calculated value of the input/output signals in the PCM. Therefore, if a monitored value of an output device is out of specification, it is necessary to inspect the monitored value of the input device related to the output device control. Since an output device malfunction is not directly indicated as a malfunction of the monitored value for the output device, it is necessary to inspect the output device individually using methods such as the simulation function.
