Diagnosis System

  1. CHECK DLC3 
    1. The ECU uses ISO 15765-4 for communication. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and meets the ISO 15765-4 format.

      DLC3 TERMINALS REFERENCE

      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
      SG (5) - Body ground Signal ground Always Below 1 Ω
      BAT (16) - Body ground Battery positive Always 11 to 14 V
      CANH (6) - CANL (14) CAN bus line Ignition switch LOCK position ((1)) 54 to 67 Ω
      CANH (6) - Battery positive HIGH-level CAN bus line Ignition switch LOCK position ((1)) 6 kΩ or higher
      CANH (6) - CG (4) HIGH-level CAN bus line Ignition switch LOCK position ((1)) 200 Ω or higher
      CANL (14) - Battery positive LOW-level CAN bus line Ignition switch LOCK position ((1)) 6 kΩ or higher
      CANL (14) - CG (4) LOW-level CAN bus line Ignition switch LOCK position ((1)) 200 Ω or higher
      (1) Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any other switches, or the doors.

      If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector.

      HINT:

      If the display shows a communication error message when connecting the cable of the Techstream to the DLC3, turning the ignition switch to the ON position and operating the Techstream, there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.

      • If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
      • If communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction manual.
  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. No matter how experienced or skilled a technician may be, if he proceeds to troubleshoot without confirming the problem symptoms, he will likely overlook something important and make a wrong guess at some points in the repair operation.

    This leads to a standstill in troubleshooting.

    1. 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 the ON position).

      1. Slightly vibrate the part of the sensor considered to be the problem cause 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.

    2. Simulation method for DTC B1795: Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK to the ON position, 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 classification 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 
    1. Initial check
      1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
      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 the ON position, the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator will be ON/OFF depending on the conditions listed below.

        Condition ON Indicator OFF Indicator
        Vacant OFF OFF
        Adult is seated. ON OFF
        Child is seated. OFF ON
        Child restraint system is set. OFF ON
        Front passenger occupant classification system failure OFF ON

        HINT:

        • The passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator comes on based on the timing chart below in order to check the indicator light circuit.

        • When the Occupant Classification System has trouble, both the SRS warning light and the passenger airbag ON/OFF indicator ("OFF") come on. In this case, check the DTCs in the "Airbag System" first.
  4. CHECK PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    2. 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 the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and approximately 6 seconds have elapsed.
