DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST
1. READ DATA LIST

HINT: Using the intelligent tester's DATA LIST allows switch, sensor, actuator, and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the DATA LIST early in troubleshooting is one way to save time.

NOTICE: In the table, 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.

a. Warm up the engine.
b. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
c. Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
d. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
e. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST.
f. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the DATA LIST.











2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST

HINT: Performing the intelligent tester's ACTIVE TEST allows 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.

a. Warm up the engine.
b. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
c. Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
d. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
