DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. DESCRIPTION
a. Multiplex communication system data can be read in the Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3) of the vehicle. When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the intelligent tester to check for malfunctions and make necessary repairs.

2. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE

Standard: 11 to 14 V

If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.

3. CHECK DLC3








a. The vehicle's ECU uses the ISO 15765-4 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.

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

HINT:
- If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect DLC3 of the original vehicle.
- If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle. the problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the instruction manual.
