End Of SiePID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTIONA6E5770189012301. Connect the SSTs (WDS or equivalent) to the DLC-2.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Measure the PID value.
Note
•Perform part inspection for the output device after TCM inspection.
•The PID/DATA MONITOR function monitors the calculated value of the input/output signals in the TCM.
Therefore, if a monitored value of an output device is out of specification, it is necessary to inspect the
monitored value of the input device related to the output device control. Since an output device
malfunction is not directly indicated as a malfunction of the monitored value for the output device, it is
necessary to inspect the output device individually using the simulation function, etc.
