• In the DTC check, it is very important to determine
whether the problem indicated by the DTC either: 1)
still occurs, or 2) occurred in the past but has returned
to normal. In addition, the DTC should be compared
to the problem symptom to see if they are related. For
this reason, DTCs should be checked before and after
confirmation of symptoms (i.e., whether or not
problem symptoms exist) to determine current system
conditions, as shown in the flowchart below.
• Never skip the DTC check. Failing to check DTCs
may, depending on the case, result in unnecessary
troubleshooting for systems operating normally or
lead to repairs not related to the problem. Follow the
procedures listed in the flowchart in the correct order.

If a DTC was displayed in the initial DTC check, the
problem may have occurred in a wire harness or
connector in that circuit in the past. Check the wire
harness and connectors.

A
The problem still occurs in a place other than the diagnostic
circuit (the DTC displayed first is either for a past problem or
a secondary problem).
4. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
HINT:
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no
problem symptoms occur. In such a case, a thorough
problem analysis must be carried out. A simulation of the
same or similar conditions and environment in which the
problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be
carried out. No matter how much skill or experience a
technician has, troubleshooting without confirming the
problem symptoms will lead to important repairs being
overlooked and mistakes or delays.
For example:
With a problem that only occurs when the engine is
cold or as a result of vibration caused by the road
during driving, the problem can never be
determined if the symptoms are being checked on
a stationary vehicle or a vehicle with a warmed-up
engine. Vibration, heat or water penetration
(moisture) is difficult to reproduce. The symptom
simulation tests below are effective substitutes for
the conditions and can be applied on a stationary
vehicle. Important points in the symptom
simulation test:
In the symptom simulation test, the problem
symptoms as well as the problem area or parts
must be confirmed. First, narrow down the
possible problem circuits according to the
symptoms. Then, connect the tester and carry out
the symptom simulation test, judging whether the
circuit being tested is defective or normal. Also,
confirm the problem symptoms at the same time.
Refer to the problem symptoms table for each
system to narrow down the possible causes.SYSTEM NORMAL

IN
(a) VIBRATION METHOD: When a malfunction seems
to occur as a result of vibration.
(1) PART AND SENSOR
Apply slight vibration with a finger to the part of
the sensor suspected to be the cause of the
problem, and check whether or not the
malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:
Applying strong vibration to relays may open
relays.
(2) CONNECTORS
Slightly shake the connector vertically and
horizontally.
(3) WIRE HARNESS
Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and
horizontally.
HINT:
The connector joint and fulcrum of the vibration
are the major areas that should be checked
thoroughly.
(b) HEAT METHOD: When a malfunction seems to
occur when the area in question is heated.
(1) Heat the component that is the possible cause of
the malfunction with a hair dryer or similar
device. Check if the malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:
• Do not heat to more than 60
C (140F).
Exceeding this temperature may damage
the components.
• Do not apply heat directly to the parts in
the ECU.
(c) WATER SPRINKLING METHOD: When a
malfunction seems to occur on a rainy day or in
high-humidity.
(1) Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check if the
malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:
• Never sprinkle water directly into the
engine compartment. Indirectly change
the temperature and humidity by spraying
water onto the front of the radiator.
• Never apply water directly onto the
electronic components.
HINT:
If the vehicle has or had a water leakage
problem, the leakage may have damaged the
ECU or connections. Look for evidence of
corrosion or short circuits. Proceed with caution
during water tests.B071602E03

(d) HIGH ELECTRICAL LOAD METHOD: When a
malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is
excessive.
(1) Turn on the heater blower, headlight, rear
window defogger and all other electrical loads.
Check if the malfunction reoccurs.
5. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
Look for output Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) (from the
DTC checks) in the appropriate section's Diagnostic Trouble
Code Chart. Use the chart to determine the trouble area and
the proper inspection procedure. A description of each of the
chart's columns is shown in the table below.
6. PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
When a "Normal" code is output during a DTC check but
the problem still occurs, use the Problem Symptoms
Table. The suspected areas (circuits or parts) for each
problem symptoms are in the table. The suspected areas
are listed in order of probability. A description of each of
the chart's columns is shown in the table below.
HINT:
In some cases, the problem is not detected by the
diagnostic system even though a problem symptom
occurs. It is possible that the problem is occurring
outside the detection range of the diagnostic system, or
that the problem occurs in a completely different system.
7. CIRCUIT INSPECTION

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU
CONTROLLED SYSTEMS
GENERAL INFORMATION
A large number of ECU controlled systems are used in the
SIENNA. In general, ECU controlled systems are considered
to be very intricate, requiring a high level of technical
knowledge to troubleshoot. However, most problem checking
procedures only involve inspecting the ECU controlled
system's circuits one by one. An adequate understanding of
the system and a basic knowledge of electricity is enough to
perform effective troubleshooting, accurate diagnoses and
necessary repairs.
FOR USING INTELLIGENT TESTER
– Before using the intelligent tester, read the tester
operator's manual thoroughly.
– If the tester cannot communicate with the ECU controlled
systems when the tester is connected to the DLC3 with the
ignition switch on and the tester turned on, there is a
problem on the vehicle side or tester side.
(1) If communication is normal when the tester 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 tester is
connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably
in the tester itself. Perform the Self Test procedures
outlined in the tester operator's manual.
