• If communication is normal when the tester is
connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3
of the original vehicle.
• If communication is still not possible when the
tester is connected to another vehicle, the
problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the
Service Department listed in the tester's
instruction manual.
2. WARNING LIGHT
(a) When a problem occurs in the electronic power
steering system, the P/S warning light on the
combination meter comes on to inform the driver of
the problem.
DTC CHECK / CLEAR
1. CHECK DTC
(a) When using intelligent tester:
(1) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to
the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON and press the
intelligent tester main switch ON.
(3) Read the DTCs by following the prompts on the
intelligent tester.
HINT:
Refer to the intelligent tester operator's manual
for further details.
(b) When not using intelligent tester:
(1) Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4

• If the P/S warning light does not blink to
display any DTCs set or the normal code,
inspect the circuit shown in the table below.
• If two or more malfunctions are detected
simultaneously, DTCs will be displayed in
ascending numerical order.
(4) Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart (See
page PS-16) for DTC information.
2. CLEAR DTC

FREEZE FRAME DATA
1. FREEZE FRAME DATA
NOTICE:
• It is difficult to show the specified values
(judgment values) clearly because freeze frame
data values change significantly due to
differences in measurement conditions,
surroundings, or vehicle conditions. For this
reason, there may be a problem even when the
values are within specifications.
• Turn the ignition switch ON and park the vehicle
on level ground. Check the freeze frame data by
using intelligent tester.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the
DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and check the freeze
frame data by following the prompts on the
intelligent tester display.

FAIL-SAFE CHART
If a problem occurs in the electric power steering system, the
P/S warning light will come on in the combination meter and
steering power assist will be stopped, fixed at a particular
point, or decreased simultaneously to protect the system.
Electronic power steering system
HINT:
The amount of power assist may be decreased to prevent the
motor and ECUs from overheating if the steering wheel is
continuously turned when the vehicle is either stopped or
driven at a low speed, or if the steering wheel is kept at either
full lock position for a long time. In such cases, the amount of
power assist returns to normal if the steering wheel is not
turned for approximately 10 minutes with the engine idling.
