Diagnosis System

2007 Toyota 4 Runner 2WD V8-4.7L (2UZ-FE)SECTION Diagnosis System
DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. DESCRIPTION
The ECU stores trouble codes when trouble occurs on the vehicle.

The diagnostic system allows for reading of the trouble codes from the DLC3.

Use the intelligent tester to check and solve the problem.

2. CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
a. Check the battery voltage.

Standard voltage: 10 to 14 V

If the voltage is below 10 V, replace the battery before proceed to the next step.

3. CHECK DLC3







a. The vehicle's ECU uses ISO 9141-2 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector.




b. Connect the cable of the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch to the ON position and attempt to use the intelligent tester. If the screen displays a communication error message, a problem exists in the vehicle side or tester side.

HINT:
- If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
- If communication is still impossible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction manual.
