Current Data Display & Save/System Operation Check Mode

[Current Data Display & Save]

NOTE: By using the SSM3 and reading [Current Data Display & Save], you can read the statuses and values for switches, sensors, actuators, and other items without removing parts. Because the non-intrusive inspection allows you to read the intermittent statuses or signals without interfering with parts or lines, it is very convenient. By reading the [Current Data Display & Save] information at the initial stage of troubleshooting, you can save on time for diagnosing trouble.

CAUTION: The normal values written in the chart below are for reference. Do not depend on reference value only when judging if the part is faulty.

Connect the SSM3 to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn on the SSM3.
Input the following menus: [Keyless access system] →[Collation ECM] →[Current Data Display & Save], or [Integ. unit mode] →[Current Data Display & Save], or [Brake Control System] →[ABS/VDC System] →[Current Data Display & Save], or [Engine Control System] →[Current Data Display & Save]
