Engine - Diagnostics: Pre-Check
- DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
- Description
When troubleshooting OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics) vehicles, a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool (complying with SAE J1987) must be connected to the DLC3 (Data Link Connector 3) of the vehicle. Various data in the vehicle's ECM (Engine Control Module) can be then read. OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-board computer illuminates the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) on the instrument panel when the computer detects a malfunction in:
- The emission control systems and components
- The power train control components (which affect vehicle emissions)
- The computer itself
In addition, the applicable DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in 3 consecutive trips, the MIL turns off automatically but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM (Engine Control Module) memory.
To check the DTCs, connect a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3. The tester and scan tool display DTCs, freeze frame data, and a variety of engine data. The DTCs and freeze frame data can be erased with the tester and scan tool (refer to DTC CHECK).
- Normal mode and check mode
The diagnosis system operates in the normal mode during normal vehicle use. In normal mode, 2 trip detection logic is used to ensure accurate detection of malfunctions. Check mode is also available as an option for technicians. In check mode, 1 trip detection logic is used for simulating malfunction symptoms and increasing the system's ability to detect malfunctions, including intermittent problems (hand-held tester only).
- 2-trip detection logic
When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory (1st trip). If the same malfunction is detected during the next sequent drive cycle, the MIL is illuminated (2nd trip).
- Freeze frame data
The freeze frame data record the engine conditions (fuel system, calculated engine load, engine coolant temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.
- DLC3 (Data Link Connector 3)
The vehicle's ECM uses the ISO 9141-2 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.
DLC3 CONNECTOR REFERENCE TABLESymbols Terminal No. Names Reference Terminals Results Conditions SIL 7 Bus "+" line 5 - Signal ground Pulse generation During transmission CG 4 Chassis ground Body ground Below 1 Ω Always SG 5 Signal ground Body ground Below 1 Ω Always BAT 16 Battery positive Body ground 9 to 14 V Always HINT:
The DLC3 is the interface prepared for reading various data from the vehicle's ECM. After connecting the cable of a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool, turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester or scan tool ON.
If a communication failure message is displayed on the tester or scan tool screen (on the tester: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE), 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 impossible: The problem is probably with the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the instruction manual.
- Battery voltage
Battery voltage: 11 to 14 V
If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge the battery before proceeding.
- MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
- The MIL illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to ON and the engine is not running.
HINT:
If the MIL does not illuminate, check the MIL circuit (See MIL CIRCUIT ).
- The MIL should turn off when the engine is started. If the MIL remains on, the diagnosis system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
- The MIL illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to ON and the engine is not running.
- Description
- DTC CHECK (Normal Mode) NOTE: Hand-held tester only:
When the diagnosis system is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa, all DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode are erased. Before changing modes, always check and make a note of DTCs and freeze frame data.HINT:
- DTCs which are stored in the ECM can be displayed on a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. A hand-held tester can display current and pending DTCs.
- Some DTCs are not set if the ECM does not detect the same malfunction again during a second consecutive driving cycle. However, such malfunctions, detected on only one occasion, are stored as pending DTCs.
- The pending DTCs are set when the malfunction is detected once.
- Check DTCs (using a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool)
- Connect a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the tester or scan tool ON.
- For the tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES or PENDING CODES.
- For the scan tool, refer to the instruction manual.
- Check DTCs and freeze frame data, and then write them down.
- See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
to check the details of DTCs.
HINT:
When simulating a symptom with an OBD II scan tool to check DTCs in the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART, subject to 2 trip detection logic, conduct either of the following operations. (For more information, refer to the scan tool instruction manual.)
- Check pending DTCs using the Continuous Test Result function (Mode 07 for SAE J1979).
- Simulate the symptom again after turning the ignition switch to OFF upon finishing the first symptom simulation, so that the MIL is illuminated and the DTC(s) is stored in the ECM.
- Clear DTCs (using a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool)
- Connect a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the tester or scan tool on.
- For the tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CLEAR CODES.
- Press the YES button.
- For the scan tool, refer to the instruction manual.
- Clear DTCs (without using a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool)
- Perform either one of the following operations.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable for more than 1 minute.
- Remove the EFI fuse from the Relay Block (R/B) located inside the engine compartment for more than 1 minute.
- Perform either one of the following operations.
- DTC CHECK (Check Mode) NOTE: Hand-held tester only:
When the diagnosis system is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa, all DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode are erased. Before changing modes, always check and make a note of DTCs and freeze frame data.HINT:
Hand-held tester only:
Compared to normal mode, check mode is more sensitive to malfunctions. Therefore, check mode can detect the malfunctions that cannot be detected by normal mode.
- Procedure for check mode (using a hand-held tester)
- Make sure that the vehicle is in the following condition:
- Battery voltage 11 V or more.
- Throttle valve fully closed.
- Shift lever is in the neutral position.
- A/C switched OFF.
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
- Connect a hand-held tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the tester ON.
- Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / CHECK MODE.
- Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode. (Make sure the MIL flashes as shown in Fig 7 .)
- Start the engine. (Make sure the MIL turns off.)
- Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the customer.
- Check DTCs and freeze frame data using the tester.
HINT:
Do not turn the ignition switch to OFF, as turning it to OFF switches the diagnosis system from check mode to normal mode, which erases all the stored DTCs and freeze frame date.
- Make sure that the vehicle is in the following condition:
- Procedure for check mode (using a hand-held tester)
- FAIL-SAFE CHART
If any of the following codes are recorded, the ECM enters fail-safe mode.
FAIL-SAFE CHARTDTCs Items Fail-Safe Operations Fail-Safe Deactivation Conditions P0031, P0032, P0037, P0038, P0051 and P0052 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater Turn off HO2S heater. Ignition switch is OFF. P0100 Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Ignition timing is calculated from engine RPM and throttle position. Pass condition is detected. P0110 Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor ECM estimates that IAT is 20°C (68°F). Pass condition is detected. P0115 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor ECM estimates that ECT is 80°C (176°F). Pass condition is detected. P0120, P0121, P0604, P0606, P0607, P0657, P1126, P2102, P2103, P2111, P2118 and P2119 Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) ECM cuts off throttle actuator current and throttle valve is controlled by throttle cable. ECM then adjusts engine output by controlling fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition timing according to accelerator pedal opening angle to continue at a minimal speed.(1) Pass condition is detected and ignition switch is turned OFF. P0325 Knock Sensor ECM sets ignition timing to maximum retard value (minimal spark advance control is performed). Ignition switch is OFF P0351 Ignitor Fuel is cut. Pass condition is detected P2120, P2121 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor APP sensor has 2 sensor circuit: Main and sub. If either of circuits malfunctions, ECM controls engine using other circuit. If both of circuits malfunction, ECM regards accelerator pedal as being released. As a result, throttle valve is closed and engine idles. Pass condition is detected and ignition switch is turned OFF. (1) If DTCs P0860 and P1646 are output simultaneously, the fail-safe function operates to stop the engine when a vehicle speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h) is reached - CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
HINT:
Hand-held tester only:
Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the hand-held tester when the ECM is in check mode. In check mode, the ECM uses 1trip detection logic, which is more sensitive to malfunctions than normal mode (default) that uses 2trip detection logic.
- Clear DTCs (See step 2).
- Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using a hand-held tester.
- Perform a simulation test (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING ).
- Check and wiggle the harness(es), the connector(s) and terminal(s) (See HOW TO USE THE DIAGNOSTIC CHART AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE ).

- DEFINITION OF TERMS DEFINITION OF TERMS TABLE
Terms Definition Monitor description Description of what the ECM monitors and how detects malfunction (monitoring purpose and details). Related DTCs A group of diagnostic trouble codes that are output by the ECM based on the same malfunction detection logic. Typical enabling condition Preconditions that allow the ECM to detect malfunctions. With all preconditions satisfied, the ECM sets a DTC when the monitored value(s) exceeds the malfunction threshold(s). Sequence of operation The priority order that is applied to monitoring, if multiple sensors and components are used to detect the malfunction. While another sensor is being monitored, the next sensor or component will not be monitored until the previous monitoring is concluded. Required sensor/components The sensors and components that are used by the ECM to detect malfunctions. Frequency of operation The number of times that the ECM checks for malfunctions per driving cycle. "Once per driving cycle" means that the ECM detects a malfunction only one time during a single driving cycle. "Continuous" means that the ECM detects a malfunction every time when enabling conditions are met. Duration The minimum time that the ECM must detect a continuous deviation in the monitored value(s) before setting a DTC. This timing begins when the "typical enabling conditions" are met. Malfunction thresholds Beyond this value, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction and sets a DTC. MIL operation MIL illumination timing after a defect is detected. "Immediately" means that the ECM illuminates the MIL the instant the ECM determines that there is a malfunction. "2 driving cycle" means that the ECM illuminates the MIL if the same malfunction is detected the second time during the next sequential driving cycle. - TOYOTA/LEXUS PART AND SYSTEM NAME LIST

- O2S TEST RESULT
- Description of O2S TEST RESULT.
The O2S Test Result is a part of the monitoring for Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor malfunctions. The various states (Test Items) of the HO2 sensor are monitored by the ECM. The Test Item values (Test Value) can be read using a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool.
A Test Value is the latest snapshot data after the vehicle is driven to run the monitor. Therefore, the Test Value is not dynamic data.
If a Test Value is outside the standard range, this indicates that the HO2 sensor is malfunctioning. If a Test Value is on the borderline of the standard level, any malfunctions may be concealed in the HO2 sensor. Test Values are cleared when the ignition switch is turned to OFF.

- Outline
The monitor results and the test value can be checked with the OBD II scan tool.
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the emissions-related components as the thermostat, catalyst converter and evaporative emissions (EVAP), and determines whether they are functioning normally or not. When finished monitoring, the ECM stores the monitor results the test values.
The monitor result indicates whether the component is functioning normally or not. The test value is the value that was used to determine the monitor result. If the test value is outside the test limit (malfunction criterion), that ECM determines the component is malfunctioning. Some emissions-related components have multiple test values to determine monitor result. If one of these test value is outside test limit, the ECM determines the component is malfunctioning.
