Automatic Transmission System -- Data List / Active Test



READ DATA LIST
HINT:
Using the intelligent tester's Data List allows switch, sensor, actuator, and other item values to be read without removing any parts. Reading the Data List early in troubleshooting is one way to save time.
NOTICE:
In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.
  1. Warm up the engine.

  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

  3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  4. Turn the ignition switch ON.

  5. Turn the intelligent tester ON.

  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.

  7. Follow the instructions on the tester and read the Data List.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST
HINT:
Performing the intelligent tester's Active Test allows relay, VSV, actuator and other items to be operated without removing any parts. Performing the Active Test early in troubleshooting is one way to save time.
The Data List can be displayed during the Active Test.
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the ignition switch ON.

  3. Turn the intelligent tester ON.

  4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test.

  5. Perform the Active Test.

    2. Press "←" button: Shift down
    Possible to check operation of shift solenoid valves
    Control the Lock Up
    [Test Details]

    [Vehicle Condition]
    1. Throttle valve opening angle: Less than 35%
    2. Vehicle speed: 60 km/h (37 mph) or more
    Possible to check shift solenoid valve SLU operation
    Control the Line Pressure Up*
    [Test Details]
    Operate shift solenoid SLT and raise line pressure
    [Vehicle Condition]
    1. Vehicle stopped
    2. IDL: ON
    HINT:
    OFF: Line pressure up (when Active Test "Control Line Pressure Up" is performed, ECM commands SLT solenoid to turn OFF)
    ON: No action (normal operation)
    -

    HINT:
    *: "Control the Line Pressure Up" in the Active Test is performed to check the line pressure changes by connecting SST to the automatic transmission, which is used in the Hydraulic Test (Toyota Fortuner RM000000W7B01DX.html) as well. Please note that the pressure values in the Active Test and Hydraulic Test are different.
