Diagnosis System

  1. DESCRIPTION 
    1. Power door lock control system data can be read in the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the intelligent tester to check for malfunctions and perform repairs.
  2. CHECK DLC3 
    1. The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 9141-2 for communication.

      The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      7 (Bus + line) - 5 (Signal ground) During communication Pulse generation
      4 (Chassis ground) - Body ground Constant Below 1
      5 (Signal ground) - Body ground Constant Below 1
      16 (B+) - Body ground Constant 9 to 14 V

      HINT:

      Connect the cable of the intelligent tester to the DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and attempt to use the intelligent tester. If the screen displays UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, a problem exists in the vehicle side or tester side.

      • If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.
      • If communication is still impossible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's manual.
    2. Check the battery voltage.
  3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE 
    1. Inspect the battery voltage.

      Voltage: 

      11 to 14 V 

      If voltage is below 11 V, recharge the battery before proceeding.
