READ DATA LIST
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.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| N Range Status | Shift lever N status/ ON or OFF |
|
- |
| Neutral Position SW Signal | PNP switch status/ ON or 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.
Tip:
When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, refer to DTC P0705 (Click here). |
| SPD (NC0) | Input shaft speed/ Min.: 0 rpm Max.: 12750 rpm |
|
Data is displayed in increments of 50 rpm. |
| SPD (SP2) | Output shaft speed/ Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph) Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph) |
Vehicle stopped: 0 km/h (0 mph) (output shaft speed equal to vehicle speed) | - |
| Shift SW Status (R Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or 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.
Tip:
When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, refer to DTC P0705 (Click here). |
| Shift SW Status (2 Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or 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.
Tip:
When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, refer to DTC P0705 (Click here). |
| Shift SW Status (L Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or 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.
Tip:
When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, refer to DTC P0705 (Click here). |
| Shift SW Status (N, P Range) Supported | Status of PNP switch (N or P) supported/ Supp or Unsupp |
- | - |
| Shift SW Status (N, P Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or OFF |
|
- |
| Shift SW Status (3 Range) | PNP switch status/ ON or 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.
Tip:
When failure still occurs even after adjusting these parts, refer to DTC P0705 (Click here). |
| A/T Oil Temperature 3 | ATF temperature sensor value/ Min.: -40°C (-40°F) Max.: 215°C (419°F) |
|
If the value is -40°C (-40°F) or 215°C (419°F), the ATF temperature sensor circuit is open or shorted. |
| Lock Up Solenoid Status | Shift solenoid SL status/ ON or OFF |
|
- |
| Shift Status | ECM gear shift command/ 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th |
|
- |
| SLT Solenoid Status | Shift solenoid SLT status/ ON or OFF |
|
- |
| Snow or 2nd Start Mode | Pattern select switch status/ ON or OFF |
OFF | - |
PERFORM ACTIVE TEST
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control the Line Pressure Up* | Operate shift solenoid valve SLT and raise line pressure | ON or OFF
Tip:
|
[Vehicle Condition]
|
| Control the Lock Up | Control shift solenoid valve SL to set automatic transmission to lock-up | ON or OFF | Possible to check shift solenoid valve SL operation. [Vehicle Condition]
|
| Control the Shift Position | Operate shift solenoid valves and set each shift position |
|
Possible to check operation of the shift solenoid valves. [Vehicle Condition] 50 km/h (30 mph) or less |
*: The Active Test "Control the Line Pressure Up" is performed to check the line pressure changes by connecting SST to the automatic transmission, 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.
