HINT:
The following items can be customized.
NOTICE:

When a customer requests a change in a function, first make sure that customization of the
function(s) is/are possible.

Be sure to make a note of the current setting before customizing.

When troubleshooting a function, first make sure that the function is not set to OFF.

When troubleshooting, pay attention as there is a possibility that the function has been set to
SMALL through customizing (Example: In case of the symptom in which ºThe key reminder
buzzer operation does not functionº is displayed, check that the key reminder buzzer operation
is not set to SMALL, then perform troubleshooting).

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS
GENERAL INFORMATION
A large number of ECU controlled systems are used in the SEQUOIA. In general, the ECU controlled system
is considered to be a very intricate system requiring a high level of technical knowledge and expert skill to
troubleshoot. However, the fact is that if you proceed to inspect the circuits one by one, troubleshooting of
these systems is not complex. If you have adequate understanding of the system and a basic knowledge
of electricity, accurate diagnosis and necessary repair can be performed to locate and fix the problem. This
manual is designed through emphasis of the above standpoint to help service technicians perform accurate
and effective troubleshooting, and is compiled for the following major ECU controlled systems:
The troubleshooting procedure and how to make use of it are described on the following pages.

FOR USING OBD II SCAN TOOL OR TOYOTA HAND±HELD TESTER

Before using the scan tool or tester, the scan tool's instruction book or tester's operator manual should
be read thoroughly.

If the scan tool or tester cannot communicate with ECU controlled systems when you have connected
the cable of the scan tool or tester to DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and operated the scan tool,
there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.
(1) If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect the diagnosis
data link line (Bus
line) or ECU power circuit of the vehicle.
(2) If communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem
is probably in the tool itself, so perform the Self Test procedures outline in the Tester Operator's
Manual.

1. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
In troubleshooting, the problem symptoms must be confirmed accurately and all preconceptions must be
cleared away in order to give an accurate judgment. To ascertain just what the problem symptoms are, it is
extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at the time it occurred.
Important Point in the Problem Analysis:
The following 5 items are important points in the problem analysis. Past problems which are thought to be
unrelated and the repair history, etc. may also help in some cases, so as much information as possible should
be gathered and its relationship with the problem symptoms should be correctly ascertained for reference
in troubleshooting. A customer problem analysis table is provided in Diagnostics section for each system
for your use.

2. SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION AND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
The diagnostic system in the SEQUOIA fulfills various functions. The first function is the Diagnostic Trouble
Code Check in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ECU is stored in code in the ECU memory
at the time of occurrence, to be output by the technician during troubleshooting. Another function is the Input
Signal Check which checks if the signals from various switches are sent to the ECU correctly.
By using these check functions, the problem areas can be narrowed down quickly and troubleshooting can
be performed effectively. Diagnostic functions are incorporated in the following systems in the SEQUOIA.

In diagnostic trouble code check, it is very important to determine whether the problem indicated by the diag-
nostic trouble code is still occurring or occurred in the past but returned to normal at present. In addition,
it must be checked in the problem symptom check whether the malfunction indicated by the diagnostic
trouble code is directly related to the problem symptom or not. For this reason, the diagnostic trouble codes
should be checked before and after the symptom confirmation to determine the current conditions, as shown
in the table on the next page. If this is not done, it may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary trouble-
shooting for normally operating systems, thus making it more difficult to locate the problem, or in repairs not
pertinent to the problem. Therefore, always follow the procedure in correct order and perform the diagnostic
trouble code check.

If a diagnostic trouble code was
displayed in the initial diagnostic
trouble code check, it indicates
that the trouble may have occurred
in a wire harness or connector in
that circuit in the past. Therefore,
check the wire harness and con-
nectors (See page IN±35).

Taking into account the above points, a flow chart showing how to proceed with troubleshooting using the
diagnostic trouble code check is shown below. This flow chart shows how to utilize the diagnostic trouble
code check effectively, then by carefully checking the results, indicates how to proceed either to diagnostic
trouble code troubleshooting or to troubleshooting of problem symptoms table.

Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and horizontally.
The connector joint, fulcrum of the vibration, and body
through portion are the major areas to be checked thorough-
ly.
Apply slight vibration with a finger to the part of the sensor
considered to be the problem cause and check that the mal-
function occurs.Shake Slightly

3. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when there are no problem symptoms occurring. In such cases,
a thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out, then simulate the same or similar conditions and
environment in which the problem occurred in the customer's vehicle. No matter how much experience a
technician has, or how skilled he may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without confirming the problem
symptoms he will tend to overlook something important in the repair operation and make a wrong guess
somewhere, which will only lead to a standstill. For example, for a problem which only occurs when the en-
gine is cold, or for a problem which occurs due to vibration caused by the road during driving, etc., the prob-
lem can never be determined so long as the symptoms are confirmed with the engine hot or the vehicle at
a standstill. Since vibration, heat or water penetration (moisture) is likely cause for problem which is difficult
to reproduce, the symptom simulation tests introduced here are effective measures in that the external
causes are applied to the vehicle in a stopped condition.
Important Points in the Symptom Simulation Test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem symptoms should be confirmed, but the problem area or parts
must also be found out. To do this, narrow down the possible problem circuits according to the symptoms
before starting this test and connect a tester beforehand. After that, carry out the symptom simulation test,
judging whether the circuit being tested is defective or normal and also confirming the problem symptoms
at the same time. Refer to the problem symptoms table for each system to narrow down the possible causes
of the symptom.

HEAT METHOD: When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated. 2
NOTICE:3 WATER SPRINKLING METHOD:
(1)
(2)
4 OTHER: When a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.When the malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in a
high±humidity condition. Heat the component that is the likely cause of the malfunction
with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to see if the malfunction
occurs.
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check to see if the malfunc-
tion occurs.
Turn on all electrical loads including the heater blower, head
lights, rear window defogger, etc. and check to see if the mal-
function occurs.ON HINT:
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water may
contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, special caution must be taken.
Malfunc-
tion
Do not heat to more than 60 °C (140 °F). (Temperature
is limited not to damage the components.)
Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU. (1)
(2)
Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compart-
ment, but indirectly change the temperature and hu-
midity by applying water spray onto the radiator front
surface.
Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents. NOTICE: IN±30
