DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

READ DATA LIST

HINT:

Using the Techstream 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.

NOTICE:

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.

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / (desired system) / Data List.

(f) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.

(g) Using the Techstream, confirm the Data List items to help determine the cause of the problem.

NOTICE:

  • The steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) communicates with the Techstream through the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) which uses CAN communication. If the CAN communication system or certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is malfunctioning, Data List items may not be normal.
  • When using the Techstream with the engine switch off, connect the Techstream to the vehicle and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the Techstream and the vehicle begins. Then select the Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Access. While using the Techstream, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the Techstream and the vehicle.

Immobiliser

State of immobiliser system determined by certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)

Set or Unset

Set: Immobiliser set (engine start prohibited) (engine switch off)

Unset: Immobiliser unset (engine start permitted) (engine switch on (ACC) or on (IG))
  • When the immobiliser cannot be unset, this item can be used to determine whether the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) is part of the problem.
  • The engine cannot be started when this item displays "Set".

HINT:

  • The state of the immobiliser (whether it is set or unset) can be determined through the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly). If this item displays "Set", the communication between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) can be determined to be normal.
  • The security indicator light operation is only linked with the state of the immobiliser (set/unset), and is not related to the steering lock operation (lock/unlock), when the immobiliser is set, the security indicator light blinks.

Unlock operation conditions for the steering lock:

When the following condition is met, the unlock operation is performed:

The engine switch is on (ACC) or on (IG).

  • When the engine switch is turned on (ACC) or on (IG) and the key and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) are verified, the steering is unlocked.

When any of the following conditions are met, key verification is performed.

  • The brake pedal is depressed so that the engine can be started.
  • 30 seconds have elapsed after opening and closing a door.
  • The engine switch is pressed.

Key verification occurs when the code emitted from the key and the code stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) are compared to check that they match.

Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) verification occurs when the S code and L code are verified while the engine is being started or the engine switch is being pushed. The ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) uses the S code to determine whether the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is authorized. The steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) uses the L code to determine whether the ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) is authorized.

Lock operation conditions for the steering:

When the following conditions are met and the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) has been verified, the lock operation is performed.

  • The engine switch is off.
  • The shift lever is in P.
  • A door is opened or a door lock operation (door lock, wireless door lock or key-linked lock) is performed.

HINT:

The following example shows the behavior of various Data List items when the shift lever is in P, the brake pedal is not depressed, the vehicle is normal and the power source mode changes.

Get into the vehicle while carrying the key. With the engine switch off, the shift lever in P and all the doors closed, perform the following procedures and check the power source mode.

HINT:

*1: Without depressing the brake pedal, press the engine switch and check that the power source mode changes to on (ACC).

*2: Without depressing the brake pedal, press the engine switch and check that the power source mode changes to on (IG).

*3: Press the engine switch and check that the power source mode changes to off.

*4: Release the brake pedal, open the driver door and check that the steering locks.
