## Input Signal System Investigation Procedure

1. Find an unusual signal. (See Finding unusual signals.)

2. Locate its source. (See Locating the source of unusual signals.)

3. Repair or replace the defective part.

4. Confirm that the unusual signal has been erased.

### Finding unusual signals

While referring to ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [AJ], use the PID/DATA monitor and record function to inspect the input signal system relating to the problem.

1. Start the engine and idle the vehicle. You can assume that any signals that are out of specifications by a wide margin are unusual.

2. When recreating the problem, any sudden change in monitor input signals that is not consciously created by the driver can be judged as unusual.

### Locating the source of unusual signals

  Caution

  • Compare the WDS or equivalent monitor voltage with the measurement voltage using the digital measurement system function. If you use another tester, misreading may occur.
  • When measuring voltage, attach the tester GND to the GND of the PCM that is being tested, or to the engine itself. If this is not done, the measured voltage and actual voltage may differ.
  • After connecting the pin to a waterproof coupler, confirming continuity and measuring the voltage, inspect the waterproof connector for cracks. If there are any, use sealant to fix them. Failure to do this may result in deterioration of the harness or terminal from water damage, leading to problems with the vehicle.
