Caution / Notice / Hint

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.

1. DATA LIST 
   1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   3. Turn the Techstream on.
   4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Shift SW Status (P Range), Shift SW Status (R Range), Shift SW Status (N Range), Shift SW Status (N, P Range), Shift SW Status (S Range) and Shift SW Status (D Range).

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Shift SW Status (P Range)
      Shift SW Status (R Range)
      Shift SW Status (N Range)
      Shift SW Status (N, P Range)
      Shift SW Status (S Range)
      Shift SW Status (D Range)

   5. Read the values displayed on the Techstream.
