DATA MONITOR MODE

Data Monitor

NOTE:
- Some monitor item values may vary significantly if there are slight differences in the environment in which the vehicle is operating when measurements are obtained. Variations may also occur due to aging of the vehicle. Due to these considerations, it is not always possible to provide definite values to be used for judgment of malfunctions. It is possible that a malfunction may be present even if measured values are within the reference range.
- In the event of a problem with intricate symptoms, collect sample data from another vehicle of the same model operating under identical conditions in order to reach an overall judgment by comparing all the items in the data monitor.
- Using the CONSULT-III to read the data monitor 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 monitor information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.
