Land Cruiser URJ200 URJ202 GRJ200 VDJ200 - 1VD-FTV ENGINE CONTROL

ECD SYSTEM (w/ DPF) - DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

When troubleshooting Europe On-Board Diagnostic (Euro-OBD) vehicles, the vehicle must be connected to the GTS. Various data output from the vehicle Engine Control Module (ECM) can then be read.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is illuminated when the vehicle on-board computer detects a malfunction in the computer itself or in drive system components. In addition, the applicable Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored in the ECM memory ().
When the malfunction does not reoccur, the MIL stays illuminated until the engine switch is turned off, and the MIL turns off when the engine is started. Be aware that the DTCs remain stored in the ECM memory.
To check DTCs, connect the GTS to the DLC3 on the vehicle.

The diagnosis system operates in "normal mode" during normal vehicle use. In normal mode, "2 trip detection logic" is used to ensure accurate detection of malfunctions. "Check mode" is also available to technicians as an option. In check mode, "1 trip detection logic" is used when simulating malfunction symptoms to increase increasing the ability of the system to detect malfunctions, including intermittent malfunctions ().

When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory (1st trip). If the same malfunction is detected during the next subsequent drive cycle, the MIL is illuminated (2nd trip).

The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was moving or stationary, whether the engine was warmed up or not, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.

• Standard voltage:
• 11 to 14 V

The MIL illuminates when the engine switch is turned on (IG) and the engine is not running.

• HINT:

• If the MIL is not illuminated, check the MIL circuit ().

When the engine is started, the MIL should turn off. If the MIL remains on, the diagnosis system has detected a malfunction or abnormality in the ECD system.

• HINT:
