DTC Check (Normal Mode)

DTC CHECK

NOTICE: (LEXUS hand-held tester only): When the diagnosis system is switched from normal mode to check mode, it erases all DTCs and freeze frame data recorded in normal mode. So before switching modes, always check the DTCs and freeze frame data, and note them down.

1. Prepare the OBD II scan tool(complying with SAE J1978) or LEXUS hand-held tester.
2. Connect the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester to DLC3 in the fuse box at the lower left of the instrument panel.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON and switch the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester main switch ON.
4. Use the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester to check the DTCs and freeze frame data, note them down. (For operating instructions, see the OBD II scan tool's instruction book.)
5. Confirm the details of the DTCs, per DTC Charts.

NOTICE: When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (excluding LEXUS hand-held tester) to check the DTCs, use normal mode. For codes on the DTCs chart subject to "2 trip detection logic", turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is simulated the first time. Then repeat the simulation process again. When the problem has been simulated twice, the MIL lights up and the DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
