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 engine switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    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.


      Powertrain > Transmission > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Total Distance Traveled Total distance traveled

      Min.: 0

      Max.: 16777215

      		 - -
      Total Distance Traveled - Unit Unit for Total Distance Traveled km or mile - -
      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

      		 600 to 700 rpm: Engine idling (shift lever in P, engine warmed up and A/C 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%

      		 20 to 40%: Engine idling with warmed up engine

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

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

        (For example, when the actual intake manifold pressure is the same as atmospheric pressure, Calculate Load is 100%.)
      Coolant Temperature Engine 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 140°C (284°F) or higher, the sensor circuit is open or shorted.

      • Check if the engine overheats when the value indicates 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.

      Tech Tips


      • 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 140°C (284°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.
      Ambient Temperature Ambient temperature

      Min.: -40°C (-40°F)

      Max.: 215°C (419°F)

      		 Equivalent to ambient air temperature

      This is the ambient temperature.

      Tech Tips

      After a long soak, the engine coolant temperature, engine oil temperature, intake air temperature and ambient air temperature are approximately equal.
      Engine Run Time Engine run time

      Min.: 0 sec

      Max.: 65535 sec

      		 Time after engine start

      This is the time elapsed since the engine was started.

      Tech Tips

      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: Engine idling If 11 V or less, the characteristics of some electrical components may change.

      • 10 to 22%: Accelerator pedal fully released

      • 64 to 96%: Accelerator pedal fully depressed

      The No. 1 throttle position sensor 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.

  2. ACTIVE TEST

    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.


    1. Warm up the engine.

    2. Turn the engine switch off.

    3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    4. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Transmission / Active Test.

    7. Perform the Active Test according to the display on the GTS.

      • Confirm that the vehicle is stopped.

      • ON: TC and TE1 (CG) are connected.

      • OFF: TC and TE1 (CG) are disconnected.

      • The MIL will not blink when "Activate the TC Terminal / ON" is selected.

      • Press "→" button: Upshift occurs

      • Press "←" button: Downshift occurs

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

      Upshifts and downshifts should be performed consecutively. A 10-second interval is required between gear changes.

      Do not downshift at high speeds. Doing so will damage the automatic transaxle assembly.
