Data List / Active Test

  1. READ DATA LIST 

    HINT:

    Using the intelligent tester's DATA LIST allows switch, sensor, actuator, and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the DATA LIST early in troubleshooting is one way to save time.

    NOTE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    5. Turn the intelligent tester ON.
    6. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST.
    7. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the DATA LIST.

      3RD PNP switch status/ON or OFF Shift lever is:
      On 3: ON
      Not on 3: OFF      		 When shift lever position displayed on intelligent tester differs from actual position, adjustment of PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect
      HINT:
      When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, see FAIL-SAFE CHART 
      REVERSE PNP switch status/ON or OFF Shift lever is:
      On R: ON
      Not on R: OFF      		 When shift lever position displayed on intelligent tester differs from actual position, adjustment of PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect
      HINT:
      When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, see FAIL-SAFE CHART 
      DRIVE PNP switch status/ON or OFF Shift lever is:
      On D: ON
      Not on D: OFF      		 When shift lever position displayed on intelligent tester differs from actual position, adjustment of PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect
      HINT:
      When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, see FAIL-SAFE CHART 
      SHIFT Actual gear position/1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th Shift lever position is:
      • On L: 1st
      • On 2: 1st or 2nd
      • On 3: 1st, 2nd or 3rd
      • On D: 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th

      • After stall test:
      Approximately 80°C (176°F)
      • Equal to ambient temperature during cold soak
      		 If value is -40°C (-40°F) or 215°C (419°F), ATF temperature sensor circuit is opened or short circuit
      SPD (NC) Counter gear speed/display: 50 r/min 4th (O/D) when shift lever is on D (after warming up the engine); Intermediate shaft speed (NC) becomes close to the engine speed -
  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST 

    HINT:

    Performing the intelligent tester's ACTIVE TEST allows relay, VSV, actuator and other items to be operated without removing any parts. Performing the ACTIVE TEST early in troubleshooting is one way to save time.

    The DATA LIST can be displayed during the ACTIVE TEST.

    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    5. Turn the tester ON.
    6. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST.
    7. Perform the ACTIVE TEST.
    ACTIVE TEST CHART

    Item Test Details Diagnostic Note
    SHIFT [Test Details]
    Operate shift solenoid valve and set each shift lever position by yourself
    [Vehicle Condition]
    50 km/h (31 mph) or less
    [Other information]
    • Press "-->" button: Shift up
    • Press "<--" button: Shift down
    		 Possible to check operation of shift solenoid valves
    LOCK UP [Test Details]
    Control shift solenoid DSL to set automatic transaxle to the lock up condition
    [Vehicle Condition]
    • Throttle valve opening angle: Less than 35%
    • Vehicle speed: 58 km/h (36 mph) or more
    		 Possible to check shift solenoid DSL operation
    LINE PRESS UP* [Test Details]
    Operate shift solenoid SLT and raise line pressure
    [Vehicle Condition]
    • Vehicle stopped
    • IDL: ON

    HINT:


    OFF: Line pressure up (when Active Test of "LINE PRESS UP" is performed, ECM commands SLT solenoid to turn OFF) ON: No action (normal operation)    		 -

    HINT:

    *: "Control the Line Pressure Up" in the ACTIVE TEST is performed to check the line pressure changes by connecting SST to the automatic transaxle, which is used in the HYDRAULIC TEST  as well. Please note that the pressure values in the ACTIVE TEST and HYDRAULIC TEST are different.
