Diagnosis System

  1. CHECK DLC3 

    HINT:

    The vehicle uses the ISO 15765-4 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.

    TERMINAL DESCRIPTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

    Symbol Terminal No. Name Reference terminal Result Condition
    SIL 7 Bus "+" line 5 - Signal ground Pulse generation During transmission
    CG 4 Chassis ground Body ground Below 1Ω Always
    SG 5 Signal ground Body ground Below 1 Ω Always
    BAT 16 Battery positive Body ground 11 to 14 V Always

    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 hand-held tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3, turn the power switch ON (IG) and attempt to use the hand-held tester. If the display informs that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.

    • If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.
    • If communication is still impossible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.

    Standard: 11 to 14 V 

    If the voltage is below 11 V, replace the battery before proceeding.
