Inspection Procedure

HINT:

According to the Data List displayed by Techstream, you can read the value of the switch, sensor, actuator and so on without removing any parts. Reading the Data List as the first step of troubleshooting is one method to save diagnostic 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. READ DATA LIST 
    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
    4. Turn on the tester.
    5. Select the items: "Powertrain / Engine / Data List".
    6. According to the display on the tester, read the "Data List".
