VC Output Circuit: Procedure

  1. CHECK MIL 
    1. Check that the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminates when turning the power switch on (IG).

      OK

      MIL lights up.

    NG → See step   2 

    OK → See step   12 

  2. CHECK CONNECTION BETWEEN TECHSTREAM AND HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Check the communication between the Techstream and hybrid vehicle control ECU.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Communication is not possible A
      Communication is possible B

    B → See step   10 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK MIL (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Check the MIL.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      MIL does not illuminate A
      MIL illuminates B
    4. Reconnect the throttle position sensor connector.

    B → See step   11 

    A: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK MIL (MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the manifold absolute pressure sensor connector.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Check the MIL.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      MIL does not illuminate A
      MIL illuminates B
    4. Reconnect the manifold absolute pressure sensor connector.

    B → See step   14 

    A: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK MIL (CANISTER PUMP MODULE) 
    1. Disconnect the canister pump module connector.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Check the MIL.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      MIL does not illuminate A
      MIL illuminates B
    4. Reconnect the canister pump module connector.

    B → See step   13 

    A: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR - HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU) 
    1. Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
    2. Disconnect the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C28-71 (VCTA) or C3-5 (VC) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
    4. Reconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
    5. Reconnect the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR - HYBRID ECU) 
    1. Disconnect the manifold absolute pressure sensor connector.
    2. Disconnect the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C13-3 (VC) or A58-65 (VCPM) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
    4. Reconnect the manifold absolute pressure sensor connector.
    5. Reconnect the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  8. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CANISTER PUMP MODULE - HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU) 
    1. Disconnect the canister pump module connector.
    2. Disconnect the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      O2-6 (VCC) or A58-64 (VCPP) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
    4. Reconnect the canister pump module connector.
    5. Reconnect the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   9
