SELF-DIAG RESULTS MODE

Self Diagnostic Item
Regarding items of DTC, refer to Testing and Inspection.)

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.







































































Freeze Frame Data

NOTE:
- The hybrid vehicle control ECU records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. It can be used for estimating or duplicating the vehicle conditions that were present when the malfunction occurred.
- To confirm the details of the hybrid control system, check the INF code which is a detailed information for the displayed DTC. INF code is displayed in freeze frame Data screen.
- 5 sets of the freeze frame data are can be recorded in the hybrid vehicle control ECU memory.
- The freeze frame data is displayed in Data Monitor mode.


























Operation History Data

NOTE:
- The hybrid vehicle control ECU records inappropriate operations performed by the driver and the number of abnormal conditions that have been input to the ECU as operation history data.
- The operation history data is displayed in Data Monitor mode.
- LATEST OPERATION [L/O]: Among the past occurrences, the number of special operations or controls that have been effected during the most recent 1 trip detection.
- LATEST TRIP [L/T]: The number of trips after the occurrence of LATEST OPERATION.
- BEFORE LATEST OPERATION [B/O]: The number of occurrences during the trip previous to the LATEST
OPERATION.
- BEFORE LATEST TRIP [B/T]: The number of trips after the occurrence of BEFORE LATEST OPERATION.











ACTIVE TEST MODE

Test Item

NOTE:
- Using the CONSULT-III to perform active tests allows relays, 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 monitor information can be displayed while performing active tests.
