1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester on.

3. Select the item below from the Data List and read the value displayed on the intelligent tester.
   

   ECM

   Item	Measurement Item/ Range(Display)	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
   Engine Rpm	Engine speed / Min.: 0 rpm, Max.: 12,750 rpm	Approximately same as actual engine speed (When engine is running)	-

4. Compare the engine speed displayed on the tester with the tachometer reading.

   Reference:

   Standard Indication	Acceptable Range [Data in ( ) are for reference]
   700 r/min	630 to 770 r/min
   1,000 r/min	(900 to 1,100 r/min)
