DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. DESCRIPTION
(a) DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
When troubleshooting a vehicle with a diagnostic system, the only difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure is connecting the Techstream to the vehicle and reading various data output from the vehicle's steering lock ECU.
The steering lock ECU records DTCs when the computer detects a malfunction in the computer itself or in system circuits.
To check the DTCs, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 on the vehicle. The Techstream enables the DTCs to be cleared, the indicators to be activated, and the Data List to be checked.
(b) The steering lock ECU diagnosis information cannot be read directly from the steering lock ECU by the Techstream. The diagnosis information from the steering lock ECU is transmitted to the Techstream via the certification ECU to the Techstream using the Controller Area Network (CAN).
