(a) Check for DTC (see page PS-11).
Result
HINT:
• When any CAN communication system DTCs are
output, perform troubleshooting on the CAN
communication system first.
• When communication to the power steering ECU is
not established through the intelligent tester, inspect
terminals SIL of the DLC3 and the power steering
ECU, and the IG circuit of the power steering ECU.

If the result is not as specified, the ECU may have a
malfunction.
DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. CHECK DLC3
(a) Check the DLC3:
The power steering ECU uses CAN (ISO11898-1)
and ISO9141-2 for communication protocol. The
terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with
SAE J1962 and matches the ISO9141-2 format.
NOTICE:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the
vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not
operate the ignition switch, other switches or
the doors.
If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have
a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and
connector.
HINT:
Connect the cable of the intelligent tester to the
DLC3, turn the ignition switch ON and attempt to
use the tester. If the display indicates that a
communication error has occurred, there is a
problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.
