Inspection Procedure 1

Data Link Connector Circuit:

Connectors:

CIRCUIT OPERATION
- A battery positive voltage is applied on the data link connector power terminal (terminal 16). The ground terminals (terminal 4, 5) are grounded to the vehicle body.

COMMENT
- The cause is probably a defect in power supply system (including ground) for the on-board diagnostic lest mode line.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The most likely causes for this case:
- Malfunction of the data link connector.
- Malfunction of the harness wire.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the power supply line at the data link connector C-69.



1. Measure voltage between terminal 16 and ground.

- Voltage should be approximately 12 volts (battery positive voltage).

If within specifications, go to Step 2.

If not within specifications, check the intermediate connectors A-54X, D-01 and D-06, and repair or replace if needed. Refer to vehicle level Testing and Inspection. If the intermediate connectors A-54X, D-01 and D-06 are in good condition, repair the harness wire between the data link connector C-69 and fusible link (6).

Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.

STEP 2. Check the ground line at the data link connector C-69.



1. Check for the continuity between terminal 4.5 and ground.

- There should be continuity (0 ohms).

If no continuity, repair the harness wire between the data link connector C-69 and the ground.

If continuity, replace the scan tool.

Then confirm that the malfunction symptom is eliminated.
