CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
1. DESCRIPTION
HINT:
A momentary interruption (open circuit) in the connectors and/or wire harness between the sensors and ECUs can be detected through the ECU data monitor function of the Techstream.
(a) Turn the ignition switch off.
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(d) Turn the Techstream on.
(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / ABS/VSC/TRAC / Data List.
(f) Select areas where momentary interruptions should be monitored.

(g) While observing the screen, gently jiggle the connectors or wire harnesses between the ECUs and sensors or between ECUs.
OK:
Normal display appears.
HINT:
The connector and/or wire harness has a momentary interruption (open circuit) if the display changes. Repair or replace the connectors and/or wire harnesses as one of them is faulty.
Air Mix Damper Position Sensor Circuit (Passenger Side) (B1431/31)
DESCRIPTION
This sensor detects the position of the air mix damper (for front passenger side)
and sends the appropriate signals to the air conditioning amplifier assembly. The
position sensor is built into the No. 2 air conditioning radiator damper servo sub-assembly
(for front passenger side ...

ECM Communication Circuit Malfunction (C1203)
DESCRIPTION
The circuit is used to send TRAC and VSC control information from the skid control
ECU (brake actuator assembly) to the ECM, and engine control information from the
ECM to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) through the CAN communication
system.
