WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota Matrix and 2003 Toyota Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 9141-2 for communication. Terminal arrangement of DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches ISO 9141-2 format.
- If your display shows UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE when you have connected cable of OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester to DLC3, turned ignition switch ON and operated scan tool, there s a problem on vehicle side or tool side. If communication is normal when tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect DLC3 on original vehicle. Go to next step. If communication is still impossible when tool is connected to another vehicle, problem is probably in tool itself, so consult service department listed in tool's instruction manual.
- Check DLC3 for loose or damaged terminals. See Fig 1. Ensure DLC3 terminals are in correct position in connector. See ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL. Repair as necessary. If connector and terminals are OK, go to next step.
- Check voltage and resistance between ground and specified terminal on DLC3. See DLC3 VOLTAGE & RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONSΒ table. If voltage and resistance readings are not as specified, check wiring circuit. See ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL.
