Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Yaris. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. DATA LIST 

    HINT:

    Using the Data List displayed by the Techstream, you can read the values of the switches, sensors, actuators and so on without parts removal. Reading the Data List as the first step of troubleshooting is one method of shortening labor time.

    1. Turn the ignition switch off.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    4. Turn the tester on.
    5. Select the following items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
    6. In accordance with the display on the tester, read the Data List.
