Data List / Active Test

  1. DATA LIST 

    HINT:

    Using the intelligent tester or Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.

    NOTE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
    1. Connect the intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester ON.
    4. Enter the following menus:
      1. Intelligent tester - Select: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/ MOBD / BODY SYSTEM or P-TRAIN/CHASSIS / (desired system) / DATA LIST.
      2. Techstream - Select: Body Electrical, Powertrain or Chassis / (desired system) / Data List.
    5. According to the display on tester, read the "DATA LIST" or "Data List".

        *1:
        • It is normal that door will be locked automatically when performing the speedometer ACTIVE TEST.
        • The displayed value has the same units (km/ h, MPH) as the main scale of the vehicle's speedometer.
        • The needle position should be within the acceptable tolerance.

        *2: If this Active Test is being performed and the engine switch is turned off and then on (IG), the A/T and ODO/TRIP display area's background may turn white. If this occurs, end this Active Test and turn the engine switch off.
