Inspection Procedure

  1. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER 
    1. Warm up the engine.
    2. Ignition switch off.
    3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Ignition switch ON.
    5. Turn the tester ON.
    6. Enter following menus:

      (1) for Engine and ECT: Powertrain / Engine and ECT /Data list.

    7. Check values by referring to the table below.

      ENGINE: 

      NORMAL CONDITION CHART

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      ENGINE SPD Engine speed / Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 16,383 rpm Almost the same as the actual engine speed (When engine is running) -

      OK: Engine speed displayed on the tester is almost the same as the actual engine speed. 

    NG:  GO TO SFI SYSTEM

    OK: GO TO Next Step 

  2. INSPECT COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the input signal wave form.
      1. Remove the combination meter with connector still connected.
      2. Connect the oscilloscope to terminal C9-19 and body ground.
      3. Start the engine.

    OK: REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the C9 and E6 connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester connection Condition Specified condition
      C9-19 - E6-5 Always Below 1 Ω
      C9-19 - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
