CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSAXLE SYSTEM(for 8NR-FTS) DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

  1. DATA LIST

    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.

    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.

    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 / Transmission / Data List.

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

      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.

        • There is a delay in when the vehicle speed data 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

      680 to 780 rpm: Idling (shift lever in N, engine warmed up and A/C switch off)

      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 pressure.

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

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

      Coolant Temperature

      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 will be 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F).

      • After a cold soak, the engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature will be approximately equal.

      • If the value is -40°C (-40°F), or 140°C (284°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.

      • Check if the engine overheats if the value indicated is higher than 140°C (284°F).

      Intake Air Temperature

      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

      This is the intake air temperature.

      Tip:

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

      • If the value is -40°C (-40°F), or 140°C (284°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.

      Engine Run Time

      Engine run time

      Min.: 0 sec.

      Max.: 65535 sec.

      Time elapsed since engine started.

      This is the time elapsed since the engine was started.

      Tip:

      The time is counted only while the engine is running.

      Battery Voltage

      Battery voltage

      Min.: 0 V

      Max.: 65.5 V

      11 to 14 V: Idling

      If 11 V or less, characteristics of some electrical components may change.

      BATT Voltage

      Battery voltage

      Min.: 0 V

      Max.: 79.998 V

      11 to 14 V: Idling

      If 11 V or less, characteristics of some electrical components may change.

      Throttle Position Sensor No.1 Voltage %

      Absolute throttle position sensor (No. 1)

      Min.: 0%

      Max.: 100%

      • 10 to 22%: Accelerator pedal fully released

      • 64 to 96%: Accelerator pedal fully depressed (engine running)

      The No. 1 throttle position sensor 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.

      Starter SW

      Starter signal

  2. ACTIVE TEST

    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.

    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.
