Diagnosis System

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM





1. CHECK DLC3
(a) The vehicle's tire pressure warning ECU uses ISO 15765-4 for communication. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.





NOTICE:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any other switches or the doors.

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 to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch ON and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates 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 may be in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.





2. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Warning light
(1) When there is a problem with the tire pressure warning system, the tire pressure warning light blinks at 0.5 second intervals, and turns on after 1 minute.

NOTICE: When the malfunction has been corrected, the tire pressure warning light does not come on.

(b) DTCs (Normal mode)
(1) DTCs are memorized in the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver and can be read by using the intelligent tester.
(c) Test mode
(1) By switching from the normal mode to the test mode (input signal check), you can inspect the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver, each tire pressure warning valve and transmitter and each vehicle speed sensor.





3. CHECK WARNING LIGHT
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Check that the tire pressure warning light comes on for 3 seconds.
If the warning light does not illuminate for 3 seconds, proceed to the troubleshooting for the tire pressure warning light circuit.





4. TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR CHART

HINT: The table indicates the state of the tire pressure warning light after the ignition switch is turned ON.








HINT:
*1: Turns on and turns off repeatedly at 0.5 second intervals, and turns on after 1 minute.





*2: Turns on and turns off repeatedly at 0.125 second intervals.





*3: Blinks 3 times (1 second on, 1 second off).





*4: When determining if there is a short circuit (10 seconds), light is off. Then it blinks at 0.5 second intervals, and turns on after 1 minute.
