      HINT:

      If the display shows an error message after having connected the cable of the Techstream to the DLC3, engine switch on (IG), and operated the tester, there is a problem on either the vehicle side or the 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 impossible 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.
