Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Data List / Active Test
- READ DATA LISTΒ
HINT:
Using 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 as 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.
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
When using Techstream with the engine switch off, turn on and off any of the door courtesy light switches repeatedly at 1.5 or less second intervals until communication between the tester and vehicle starts.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/ MOBD / DATA LIST.
- Read the DATA LIST.

- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TESTΒ
HINT:
Performing Techstream ACTIVE TEST allows the relay, VSV, actuator and other items to be operated without removing any parts. Performing the ACTIVE TEST early in troubleshooting is one way to save time. The DATA LIST can be displayed during the ACTIVE TEST.
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST.
