NORMAL Mode Diagnostic Trouble Code Retrieval

  1. Connect Toyota hand-held tester or scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3 at driver's side of instrument panel. See Figure. Turn ignition on with engine off. Turn hand-held tester or scan tool on. Using hand-held tester or scan tool manufacturer's instructions, check for DTCs and freeze frame data.
  2. If hand-held tester or scan tool does not display UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, go to next step. If hand-held tester or scan tool displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, check DLC No. 3. See DATA LINK CONNECTOR NO. 3 INSPECTION  under SCAN TOOL PROBLEMS.
  3. Record any DTCs and freeze frame data displayed for system diagnosis. If driveability problem exists and no DTCs are present, go to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article for diagnosis by symptom.
  4. If any DTCs exist, perform appropriate DTC test under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS . For DTC descriptions, see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS  table under DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS. For information on freeze frame data, see FREEZE FRAME DATA . For information on two-trip detection logic codes, see TWO-TRIP DETECTION LOGIC .
  5. After repairs for DTC have been completed, DTC must be cleared from Engine Control Module (ECM). See CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES . Road test vehicle to ensure all symptoms and/or complaints have been repaired.
