TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspection Method for Sensors
1. Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2.
2. Turn ignition switch to ON position (Engine OFF).
Note
•
If engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.
3. Access PIDs for the switch you are inspecting.
4. Vibrate the sensor slightly with your finger.
•
If PID value is unstable or malfunction occurs, check for poor connection and/or poorly mounted sensor.
Inspection Method for Actuators or Relays
1. Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2.
2. Turn ignition switch to ON position (Engine OFF).
Note
•
If engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.
3. Prepare the Output State Control for actuators or relays that you are inspecting.
4. Vibrate the actuator or relay with your finger for
3 seconds are Output State Control is activated.
•
If variable click sound is heard, check for poor connection and/or poorly mounted actuator or relay.
Note
•
Vibrating relays too strongly may result in
open relays.
Water Sprinkling Method
Caution
•
Indirectly change the temperature and humidity by spraying water onto the front of the radiator.
•
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leakage may damage the control module. When testing
a vehicle with a water leakage problem, special caution must be used.
If malfunction occurs only during high humidity or rainy/snowy weather, perform the following steps.
1. Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2 if you are inspecting sensors or switches.
2. Turn ignition switch to ON position (Engine OFF).
Note
•
If engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.
3. Access PIDs for sensor or switch if you are inspecting sensors or switches.
4. If you are inspecting the switch, turn it on manually.
5. Spray water onto the vehicle or run it through a
car wash.
•
If PID value is unstable or malfunction occurs,
repair or replace part as necessary.
