DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST
HINT: Using the intelligent tester or Techstream to read the DATA LIST allows 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. DATA LIST

2. ACTIVE TEST
HINT: Using the intelligent tester or Techstream to perform ACTIVE TEST 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 TEST.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the power switch ON (IG).
(c) Turn the tester on.
(d) Enter the following menus:
(1) Intelligent tester - Select: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/MOBD / AIR CONDITIONER / ACTIVE TEST.
(2) Techstream - Select: Body Electrical / Air Conditioner / Active Test.
(e) According to the display on tester, perform the the "ACTIVE TEST" or "Active Test".
