Diagnosis System





MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION: MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. DESCRIPTION

(a) The network gateway ECU controls the functions of the multiplex communication system of the vehicle. Data of the multiplex communication system and the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) can be read through the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle.

2. CHECK DLC3

(a) The vehicle's ECU uses the ISO 15765-4 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with ISO 15031-3 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 engine 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
If the display shows a communication error message when connecting the cable of the Techstream to the DLC3, turning the engine switch on (IG) and operating the Techstream, there is a problem on the vehicle side or the Techstream side.

* If communication is normal when the Techstream is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
* If communication is still not possible when the Techstream is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the Techstream itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the Techstream's instruction manual.

3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE

Standard voltage:

11 to 14 V

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