Scan Tool Testing and Procedures

2009 Lexus ES 350 V6-3.5L (2GR-FE)SECTION Scan Tool Testing and Procedures







U660E AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE: AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SYSTEM: DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

1. DATA LIST
HINT: Using Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.
NOTE:
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.

(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the engine switch off.
(c) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(e) Turn the tester on.
(f) Enter the following menus: "Powertrain / ECT / Data List".
(g) According to the display on the tester, read "Data List".






















2. ACTIVE TEST
HINT: Using Techstream to perform Active Test allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Performing Active Test early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Test.

(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the engine switch off.
(c) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(e) Turn the tester on.
(f) Enter the following items: "Powertrain / ECT / Active Test".
(g) According to the display on tester, perform "Active Test".









*: "Activate the Solenoid (SLT)" in the Active Test is performed to check the line pressure changes by connecting the SST to the automatic transaxle. The same SST is used for the HYDRAULIC TEST Hydraulic Test as well.
HINT: The pressure values in Active Test and HYDRAULIC TEST will be different from each other.
RENDER: 1.0x

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
