Diagnosis System

  1. DESCRIPTION 
    1. Smart key system data and its Diagnosis Trouble Codes (DTCs) can be read through the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3). When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the intelligent tester to check for malfunctions and perform repairs.
  2. 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 CONDITION SPECIFICATION

    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 1 Ω 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 intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3, turn the power switch ON (IG) and attempt to use the intelligent 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 not possible 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.
  3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE 

    Standard voltage: 11 to 14 V 

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