READ DATA LIST
Tech Tips
Using the intelligent tester 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 because 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.
Note
In the table below, 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.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
According to the display on the tester, read the Data List.
Tester Display | Measurement Item/Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|
SPD (NC) | Counter gear speed/ Min.: 0 rpm Max.: 12750 rpm |
In 4th gear with shift lever in D (after warming up the engine): Intermediate shaft speed (NC) becomes close to engine speed |
Data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm. |
SPD (NT) | Input turbine speed/ Min.: 0 rpm Max.: 12750 rpm |
|
Data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm. |
Neutral Position SW Signal | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever: In P or N: ON Not in P or N: OFF |
When the shift lever position displayed on the intelligent tester differs from the actual position, the adjustment of the PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect. Tech Tips When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, refer to DTC P0705 Click here. |
Shift Status | ECM gearshift command/ 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th |
Shift lever:
|
- |
Shift SW Status (R Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever: In R: ON Not in R: OFF |
When the shift lever position displayed on the intelligent tester differs from the actual position, the adjustment of the PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect. Tech Tips When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, refer to DTC P0705 Click here. |
Shift SW Status (P Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever: In P: ON Not in P: OFF |
When the shift lever position displayed on the intelligent tester differs from the actual position, the adjustment of the PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect. Tech Tips When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, refer to DTC P0705 Click here. |
Shift SW Status (N Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever: In N: ON Not in N: OFF |
When the shift lever position displayed on the intelligent tester differs from the actual position, the adjustment of the PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect. Tech Tips When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, refer to DTC P0705 Click here. |
Shift SW Status (D Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever: In D: ON Not in D: OFF |
When the shift lever position displayed on the intelligent tester differs from the actual position, the adjustment of the PNP switch or shift cable may be incorrect. Tech Tips When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, refer to DTC P0705 Click here. |
Sports Shift Up SW | Sport shift up switch status/ ON or OFF |
|
- |
Sports Shift Down SW | Sport shift down switch status/ ON or OFF |
|
- |
Sports Mode Selection SW | Sport mode select switch status/ ON or OFF |
Shift lever:
|
- |
A/T Oil Temperature 1 | ATF temperature sensor value/ Min.: -40°C (-40°F) Max.: 215°C (419°F) |
|
If the value is -40°C (-40°F) or 150°C (302°F) or higher, the ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or short-circuited. |
Lock Up | Lock-up status/ ON or OFF |
|
- |
Lock Up Solenoid Status | Shift solenoid valve DSL status/ ON or OFF |
Shift solenoid valve DSL:
|
- |
SLT Solenoid Status | Shift solenoid valve SLT status/ ON or OFF |
|
- |
PERFORM ACTIVE TEST
Tech Tips
Using the intelligent tester to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.
According to the display on the tester, perform the Active Test.
Tester Display | Test Part | Control Range | Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|
Activate the Solenoid (SLT)* | Operate shift solenoid valve SLT and raise line pressure | ON or OFF Tech Tips OFF: Line pressure up (when Active Test "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" is performed, ECM commands SLT solenoid to turn OFF) ON: No action (normal operation) |
[Vehicle Condition]
|
Activate the Solenoid (S4) | Operate shift solenoid valve S4 | ON or OFF | [Vehicle Condition]
|
Activate the Lock Up | Control shift solenoid valve DSL to set automatic transaxle to lock-up condition | ON or OFF | It is possible to check the shift solenoid valve DSL operation. [Vehicle Condition]
|
Control the Shift Position | Operate shift solenoid valve and set each shift position |
|
It is possible to check the operation of the shift solenoid valves. [Vehicle Condition] The vehicle speed is 50 km/h (31 mph) or less. |
Activate the Solenoid (DSL) | Operate shift solenoid valve DSL | ON or OFF | [Vehicle Condition]
|
Activate the Solenoid (SL1) | Operate shift solenoid valve SL1 | ON or OFF | [Vehicle Condition]
|
Activate the Solenoid (SL2) | Operate shift solenoid valve SL2 | ON or OFF | [Vehicle Condition]
|
Tech Tips
*: "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" in the Active Test is performed to check the line pressure changes by connecting SST to the automatic transaxle, which is used in the Hydraulic Test Click here as well. Note that the pressure values in the Active Test and Hydraulic Test are different.
