Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Toyota Camry. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

Perform the universal trip to clear permanent DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

HINT: 

Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.

NOTE:

In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

  1. Warm up the engine.
  2. Turn the engine switch off.
  3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
  5. Turn the Techstream on.
  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / ECT / Data List.
  7. According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.
    TCM

    Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
    SPD (NT) Input shaft speed/
    Min.: 0 rpm
    Max.: 12750 rpm
    Lock-up is
    • ON (after warming up engine): Input turbine speed (NT) is equal to engine speed
    • OFF (idling with shift lever in N): Input turbine speed (NT) is nearly equal to engine speed
    Data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm

    HINT: 

    • SPD (NT) is always 0 while driving: Open or short in the sensor or circuit.
    • SPD (NT) is always more than 0 and less than 300 rpm while driving the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 mph) or more: Sensor trouble, improper installation, or intermittent connection trouble of the circuit.
