1. DATA LIST
Using the intelligent tester 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.

2. ACTIVE TEST
Using the intelligent tester to perform Active Tests 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 Tests early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.
Data List information can be displayed while performing Active Tests.

DESCRIPTION
When the engine misfires, high concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) enter the
exhaust gas. High HC
concentration levels can cause increase in exhaust emission levels. Extremely
high concentrations of HC
can also cause increases in the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) tem ...
Check for open circuit
(a) For an open circuit in the wire harness in Fig. 1, the resistance or
voltage, as described below.
(b) Check the resistance.
Check the resistance
Standard resistance (Fig. 2)
HINT:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the
wire harness vertically and horizontally. I ...
If the engine will not
start
If the engine will not start even though correct starting procedures
are being followed (, 228), consider each of the following
points:
The engine will not start even though the starter motor operates
normally.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
There may not be sufficien ...
