PRE±CHECK
1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Description

When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only dif-
ference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is that you connect to the vehicle the OBD II scan
tool complying with SAE J1978 or TOYOTA hand±
held tester, and read off various data output from
the vehicle's ECM.

OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on±
board computer lights up the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the com-
puter detects a malfunction in the emission control
system / components or in the powertrain control
components which affect vehicle emissions, or a
malfunction in the computer. In addition to the MIL
lighting up when a malfunction is detected, the ap-
plicable Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) prescribed
by SAE J2012 are recorded in the ECM memory.
(See page DI±16)
If the malfunction does not reoccur in 3 consecutive trips, the
MIL goes off automarially but the DTCs remain recorded in the
ECM memory.

To check the DTCs, connect the OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand±held tester to Data Link Connector
3 (DLC3) on the vehicle. The OBD II scan tool or
TOYOTA hand±held tester also enables you to
erase the DTCs and check freezed frame data and
various forms of engine data (For operating instruc-
tions, see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book.)
DTCs include SAE controlled codes and manufac-
turer controlled codes. SAE controlled codes must
be set as prescribed by the SAE, while manufactur-
er controlled codes can be set freely by the
manufacturer within the prescribed limits. (See DTC
chart on page DI±16)

± DIAGNOSTICSENGINE (5S±FE)
239 Author: Date:

The diagnosis system operates in normal mode
during normal vehicle use. It also has a check mode
for technicians to simulate malfunction symptoms
and troubleshoot. Most DTCs use 2 trip detection
logic* to prevent erroneous detection, and ensure
thorough malfunction detection. By switching the
ECM to check mode when troubleshooting, the
technician can cause the MIL to light up for a mal-
function that is only detected once or momentarily.
(TOYOTA hand±held tester only)
(See page DI±3)

*2 trip detection logic: When a malfunction is first
detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in
the ECM memory.(1st trip)
If the same malfunction is detected again during the second
drive test, this second detection causes the MIL to light up.(2nd
trip) (However, the IG switch must be turned OFF between the
1st trip and the 2nd trip.)

Freeze frame data:
Freeze frame data records the engine condition
when a misfire (DTCs P0300 ~ P0304) or fuel trim
malfunction (DTCs P0171, P0172) or other mal-
function (first malfunction only), is detected.
Because freeze frame data records the engine
conditions (fuel system, calculated load, engine
coolant temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, ve-
hicle speed, etc.) when the malfunction is detected,
when troubleshooting it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the en-
gine warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio lean or rich,
etc. at the time of the malfunction.

Priorities for troubleshooting:
If troubleshooting priorities for multiple DTCs are given in the
applicable DTC chart, these should be followed.
If no instructions are given troubleshoot DTCs according to the
following priorities.
(1) DTCs other than fuel trim malfunction (DTCs
P0171, P0172), EGR (DTCs P0401, P0402), and
misfire (DTCs P0300 ~ P0304).
(2) Fuel trim malfunction (DTCs P0171, P0172), and
EGR (DTCs P0401, P0402).
(3) Misfire (DTCs P0300 ~ P0304).

5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
TOYOTA HAND±HELD TESTER only:
By putting the vehicle's ECM in check mode, 1 trip detection logic is possible instead of 2 trip detection logic
and sensitivity to detect open circuits is increased. This makes it easier to detect intermittent problems.
(1) Clear the DTC (See page DI±3).
(2) Set the check mode (See page DI±3).
(3) Perform a simulation test (See page IN±21).
(4) Check the connector and terminal (See page IN±31).
(5) Handle the connector (See page IN±31).
6. BASIC INSPECTION
When the malfunction code is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be performed in the
order for all possible circuits to be considered as the causes of the problems. In many cases, by carrying
out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing the problem can be found
quickly and efficiently. Therefore, use of this check is essential in engine troubleshooting.

NO Charge or replace battery.
