Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Cruise Control / Cruise Control System(for 2gr-fks) / Diagnosis System

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. DESCRIPTION

The ECM stores DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) when trouble occurs on the vehicle. The diagnosis system allows reading of DTCs stored in the ECM when a the Techstream is connected to the DLC3 (Data Link Connector 3). If the CRUISE MAIN indicator light does not come on after a DTC check, it means that a malfunction has occurred in the cruise control system. Use a the Techstream or SST to check for DTCs.

2. CHECK DLC3

(a) The ECM uses ISO 9141-2 for data communication. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

Terminal No.	Tester Connection	Condition	Specification
4	Chassis ground - Body Ground	Always	Below 1 Ω
16	Battery positive - Body Ground	Always	9 to 14 V

HINT:

If the Techstream display shows "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE" after connecting the Techstream to the DLC3 and turning the ignition to the ON position, there is a problem in either the vehicle or the Techstream itself.

If communication is normal when connecting the tester to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
If communication is still not possible when connecting the tester to another vehicle, it suggests the problem exists in the tester. In this case, consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.

3. CHECK INDICATOR

(a) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
