AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

  1. DATA LIST

    Tip:

    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.

      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.

      Tip:

      • 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.

      Tip:

      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.

      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%.

      Tip:

      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%.

      N Range Status

      Shift lever N status

      ON or OFF

      • ON: Shift lever in P or N

      • OFF: Shift lever not in P or N

  2. Tip:

    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.
