Check Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3)
CHECK DLC3 (Data link Connector 3)The vehicle's ECM uses the ISO 15765-4 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.
HINT: The DLC3 is the interface prepared for reading various data from the vehicle's ECM (Included in HV Control ECU). After connecting the cable of an intelligent tester, turn the ignition switch on and turn the tester ON. If a communication failure message is displayed on the tester screen (on the tester: UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE), a problem exists in either the vehicle or tester. In order to identify the location of the problem, connect the tester to another vehicle.
If communication is normal: Inspect the DLC3 on the original vehicle.
If communication is still not possible: The problem is probably in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the instruction manual.
