various data output from the vehicle's clearance warning ECU.
The clearance warning ECU records DTCs when the computer detects a malfunction in the
computer itself or in its circuits.
To check the DTCs, connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3 on the vehicle. The hand-held
tester enables you to erase the DTCs, activate the several actuators and check the freeze
frame data and data list.
b. Check the DLC3.
The clearance warning ECU follows the CAN and ISO 9141-2 communication protocol. The
terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2
format.

HINT:
If the display shows "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE" after connecting the hand-held tester cable to
the DLC3 and turning the ignition switch to the ON position, there is either a problem with the vehicle or tester.
If communication is normal when connecting the tester to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the
original vehicle.
If communication is still not possible when connecting the tester to another vehicle, the problem is
probably in the tester itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the tester's operator's manual.
1.CHECK DTCs
a. Prepare the hand-held tester.
b. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3 at the lower part of the instrument panel.
c. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the hand-held tester on.
d. Use the hand-held tester to check the DTCs and the freeze frame data, and note or print the results.
(Refer to the operator's manual for operating instructions.)
e. SEE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART
to confirm the details of the DTCs.
2.CLEAR DTCs
a. The following procedures clear the DTCs and freeze frame data.
1. When using the hand-held tester:
Operate the hand-held tester. (Refer to the operator's manual for operating
instructions.)
2. When not using the hand-held tester:
Disconnect the battery terminals.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Ultrasonic sensor consists of a sensor portion that transmits and receives ultrasonic waves and a pre-amplifier
that amplifies them. The ultrasonic sensor outputs the ultrasonic transmission and reception signals to the
clearance warning ECU assy.
