Data List / Active Test

  1. DATA LIST 

    HINT:

    According to the DATA LIST displayed by the intelligent tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor, actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of troubleshooting is one method to shorten labor time.

    NOTE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the ignition switch off.
    3. Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface module) to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch to the on position.
    5. Turn on the tester.
    6. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / ENGINE AND ECT / DATA LIST".
    7. According to the display on the tester, read the "DATA LIST".

      AT OIL TEMPI ATF Temp. Sensor Value/min.: -40°C (-40°F), max.: 215°C (419°F)
      • After Stall Test; Approx. 80°C (176°F)
      • Equal to ambient temperature when cold soak
      		 If the value is "-40°C (-40°F)" or "215°C (419°F)", ATF temp, sensor circuit is opened or shorted.

      • Lock-up ON (After warning up the engine):

        Input Turbine speed (NT) equal to the engine speed.

      • Lock-up OFF (Idling at N Position):

        Input Turbine speed (NT) nearly equal to the engine speed.

  2. ACTIVE TEST 

    HINT:

    Performing the ACTIVE TEST using the intelligent tester allows the relay, VSV, actuator and so on to operate without parts removal. Performing the ACTIVE TEST as the first step of troubleshooting is one method to shorten labor time.

    It is possible to display the DATA LIST during the ACTIVE TEST.

    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the ignition switch off.
    3. Connect the intelligent tester together with the CAN VIM (controller area network vehicle interface module) to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    5. Push the "ON" button of the intelligent tester.
    6. Select the item "DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / ENGINE AND ECT /ACTIVE TEST".
    7. According to the display on tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".
