AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST


  1. DATA LIST

    Tech Tips

    Using the GTS 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.


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.

    7. According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Vehicle Speed Vehicle speed

      Min.: 0 km/h (0 mph)

      Max.: 255 km/h (158 mph)

      		 Actual vehicle speed

      • This is the current vehicle speed.

      • The vehicle speed is detected using the wheel speed sensors.


        • Vehicle speed data is delayed when it is displayed. Therefore, even if the vehicle speed listed in the freeze frame data is 0 km/h (0 mph), this does not always mean that the malfunction occurred when the vehicle was stopped.
      Engine Speed Engine speed

      Min.: 0 rpm

      Max.: 16383 rpm

      		 720 to 820 rpm: Idling When the crankshaft position sensor is malfunctioning, "Engine Speed" is approximately 0 rpm or varies greatly from the actual engine speed.
      Calculate Load Load calculated by ECM

      Min.: 0%

      Max.: 100%

      		 -

      • This is the engine load calculated based on the estimated intake manifold pressure.

      • Calculate Load = Estimated intake manifold pressure / maximum intake manifold pressure x 100 (%)

        (For example, when the estimated intake pressure is the same as atmospheric pressure, Calculate Load is 100%.)
      Coolant Temp Coolant temperature

      Min.: -40°C (-40°F)

      Max.: 140°C (284°F)

      		 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up

      This is the engine coolant temperature.

      Tech Tips


      • After warming up the engine, the engine coolant temperature is 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F).

      • After a long soak, the engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature are approximately equal.

      • If the value is -40°C (-40°F), or higher than 135°C (275°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.

      • Check if the engine overheats when the value indicates higher than 135°C (275°F).
      Intake Air Intake air temperature

      Min.: -40°C (-40°F)

      Max.: 140°C (284°F)

      		 Equivalent to temperature at location of mass air flow meter sub-assembly

      • After a long soak, the engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature are approximately equal.

      • If the value is -40°C (-40°F), or higher than 128°C (262°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.
      Engine Run Time Engine run time

      Min.: 0 s

      Max.: 65535 s

      		 Time after engine start

      This is the time elapsed since the engine started.

      Tech Tips

      The time is counted only while the engine is running.
      Battery Voltage Battery voltage

      Min.: 0 V

      Max.: 65.535 V

      		 11 to 14 V: Idling If 11 V or less, characteristics of some electrical components may change.
      Glow Indicator Supported Status of the glow indicator supported Unsupported or Supported Unsupported -
      Glow Indicator Status of the glow indicator ON or OFF OFF -
      Accelerator Position Accelerator pedal position

      Min.: 0%

      Max.: 399.9%

      		 Actual accelerator pedal position This is the accelerator pedal position defined using the learned fully released position (sensor output) of accelerator pedal position sensor No. 1 as 0% and the fully depressed position as 100%.
      Throttle Sensor Volt % Absolute throttle position sensor No. 1

      Min.: 0%

      Max.: 100%

      • 10 to 22%: Accelerator pedal fully released

      • 64 to 96%: Accelerator pedal fully depressed

      The throttle position sensor No. 1 output is converted using 5 V = 100%.

      Tech Tips

      If there are no throttle position sensor DTCs stored, it is possible to conclude that the throttle position sensor system is normal.
      Throttle Sensor Position Throttle sensor position

      Min.: 0%

      Max.: 100%

      • 0%: Accelerator pedal fully released

      • 50 to 80%: Accelerator pedal fully depressed

      • This is the throttle valve opening amount used for engine control.

        (100% signifies 125° of throttle valve rotation. This does not include the amount the throttle valve is opened to maintain the idle speed during idling.)

      • This value has no meaning when the ignition switch is ON and the engine is stopped.

      • The throttle valve opening amount during idling is indicated by 0%. When the throttle valve is fully open, the value is 68%.

  2. Tech Tips

    Using the GTS 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.

    ACTIVE TEST


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the ignition switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.

    7. According to the display on the GTS, perform the Active Test.


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Active Test
      Tester Display Measurement Item Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Connect the TC and TE1 Turn on and off TC and TE1 connection ON or OFF

      • ON: TC and TE1 are connected.

      • OFF: TC and TE1 are disconnected.

      [Vehicle Condition]


      • Engine stopped

      • Shift lever in P or N
      Activate the Solenoid (SLU) Operate shift solenoid valve SLU ON or OFF

      [Vehicle Condition]


      • Engine stopped

      • Shift lever in P or N
      Activate the Solenoid (SLT) Operate shift solenoid valve SLT and raise line pressure

      ON or OFF

      Tech Tips

      ON: No action (normal operation)

      OFF: Line pressure up (When Active Test "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" is performed, ECM commands shift solenoid valve SLT to turn off).

      [Vehicle Condition]


      • Vehicle stopped

      • Engine idling
      Activate the Lock Up Control shift solenoid valve SLU and SL to set the automatic transaxle to lock-up ON or OFF

      Can be used to check shift solenoid valve SLU and SL operation.

      [Vehicle Condition]

      Vehicle speed: 60 km/h (37 mph) or more
      Activate the Solenoid (SL) Operate shift solenoid valve SL ON or OFF

      [Vehicle Condition]


      • Engine stopped

      • Shift lever in P or N
      Control the Shift Position Operate the shift solenoid valves and set each shift position

      • Press "→" button: Shift up

      • Press "←" button: Shift down

      Can be used to check the operation of the shift solenoid valves.

      A 10-second interval is required between gear changes.

      Do not down-shift at high speeds. Doing so will damage the automatic transaxle.

      [Vehicle Condition]

      50 km/h (30 mph) or less
      Activate the Solenoid (SL1) Operate shift solenoid valve SL1 ON or OFF

      [Vehicle Condition]

      [Vehicle Condition]


      • Engine stopped

      • Shift lever in P or N

      Tech Tips

      Activate the Solenoid (SLT) in the Active Test is performed to confirm that the line pressure changes. The line pressure changes are confirmed using the same SST that is used for the Hydraulic Test.
