VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS


  1. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

    Tech Tips

    A momentary interruption (open circuit) in the connectors and/or wire harness can be detected using the Data List function of the GTS.


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    4. Turn the GTS on.

    5. Follow the directions on the GTS to display the Data List and select areas where momentary interruption should be monitored.

      Tech Tips


      • A momentary interruption (open circuit) cannot be detected for 3 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to ON (initial check).

      • If Error remains displayed for one of the items on the GTS, check for continuity between the ECU and the item for which Error is displayed.

      • If a momentary interruption occurs and Error is displayed on the GTS, Error will remain displayed on the GTS for 1 second after the circuit returns to normal.

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      IG Voltage Value Decreased IG voltage value decrease detection / Error or Normal

      Error: Voltage low

      Normal: Normal

      		 -
      IG Voltage Value Increased IG voltage value increase detection / Error or Normal

      Error: Voltage high

      Normal: Normal

    6. While observing the screen, gently jiggle the connector or wire harness.

      Tech Tips

      If the display changes, this indicates that there has been a momentary interruption (open circuit) in the connector and/or wire harness. In this case, repair or replace the connectors and/or wire harnesses as one of them is faulty.
