DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. CHECK DLC3
(a) The vehicle's ECU uses the ISO 9141-2 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.
Symbols (Terminal No.) |
Terminal Description |
Condition |
Specified Condition |
---|---|---|---|
SIL (7) - SG (5) |
Bus + line |
During transmission |
Pulse generation |
CG (4) - Body ground |
Chassis ground |
Always |
Below 1 Ω |
BAT (16) - Body ground |
Battery positive |
Always |
11 to 14 V |
HINT:
If the display shows a communication error message when the Techstream is connected to the DLC3, the ignition switch is turned to ON and the Techstream is operated, there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.
2. SYMPTOM SIMULATION
HINT:
The most difficult case in troubleshooting is when no symptoms occur. In such cases, a thorough customer problem analysis must be carried out. Then the same or similar conditions and environment in which the problem occurred in the customer's vehicle should be simulated. Regardless of the technician's experience or skill, if troubleshooting proceeds without confirmation of the problem symptoms, something important is likely to be overlooked and incorrect guesses may be made at some points in the repair operation.
This leads to a standstill in troubleshooting.
(a) Vibration method: When vibration seems to be the major cause.
HINT:
Perform the simulation method only during the primary check period (for approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to on).
(1) Slightly vibrate the part of the sensor considered to be the cause of the problem with your fingers and check whether the malfunction occurs.
HINT:
Shaking the relays too strongly may result in open relays.
(2) Slightly shake the connector vertically and horizontally.
(3) Slightly shake the wire harness vertically and horizontally.
The connector joint and fulcrum of the vibration are the major areas to be checked thoroughly.
(b) Simulation method for DTC B1795: Turn the ignition switch from the lock to on, hold for 10 seconds, and then back to the lock position again 50 times in a row.
HINT:
DTC B1795 is output if the occupant detection ECU receives the ignition switch lock-on-lock signal 50 times in a row when a malfunction occurs in the power circuit for the occupant classification system.
3. FUNCTION OF PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR
(a) Initial check
(1) Turn the ignition switch to on.
(2) The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator (ON and OFF) comes on for approximately 4 seconds, then goes off for approximately 2 seconds.
(3) Approximately 6 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to on, the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator will be ON/OFF depending on the conditions listed below.

4. PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR CHECK
(a) Turn the ignition switch to on.
(b) Check that the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator (ON and OFF) comes on for approximately 4 seconds, then goes off for approximately 2 seconds.
HINT:
Refer to the table in the previous step regarding the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator when approximately 6 seconds have elapsed after the ignition switch is turned to on.

Open in Stop Light Switch Circuit (C1425)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) detects the brake operating conditions
through a signal transmitted by the stop light switch.
The skid control ECU incorporates a circuit to detect an open circuit. This DTC
is output when an open circuit is detected in the stop light ...
