DLC 3 Check







Inspect the DLC 3

- 3RZ-FE:
The vehicle's ECM uses the ISO 9141-2 communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of DLC 3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

- 5VZ-FE:
The vehicle's ECM uses the V.P.W. (Variable Pulse Width) for communication to comply with SAE J1850. The terminal arrangement of DLC 3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the V.P.W. format.

HINT: If your display shows "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE" when you have connected the cable of OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to DLC 3, turned the ignition switch ON and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.
- If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, inspect DLC 3 on the original vehicle.
- If communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the tool's instruction manual.
