Toyota Corolla (E120): Checking monitor status
Hint
: ”monitor result” indicates normal or malfunction of each component and system when judgment has done.
1. How to read data
- Connect the hand–held tester to the dlc 3.
- enter ”monitor result” from ”diagnosis / enhanced obd ii / monitor info / monitor result” on the hand–held tester. You will see ”test id” and ”incmp”, ”pass” or ”fail” on the monitor result screen.
Hint
:
- incmp: the judgement has not been done yet.
- Pass: normal is detected.
- Fail: malfunction is detected.
- Select a test id that you want from the list and press the ”enter” button. You will see the following screen:
- val (test value) [test data] [unit]
- lmt (test limit) [test limit] [unit]
- tlt [test limit type]
- By pressing the ”help” button, you can see more information.
Hint
:
- monitor test results can be viewed in the monitor result screen.
- Monitor test results indicate the latest malfunction judgement result of this diagnostic.
- Test value indicates the detection parameter value (example: p0128 thermostat malfunction = engine coolant temperature) at the time of malfunction (or normal) judgement is done.
- Test limit indicates a threshold of malfunction judgement (example: p0128 thermostat malfunction = 75 c).
- When the monitor runs, the monitored parameter’s value is recorded. The value is then compared to the test limit to determine if the result is pass or fail.
- By comparing the parameter value to the test limit, it is possible to determine the degree of failure.
- In rare cases, the monitor may have passed even with a dtc set and mil illuminated. The monitor may have failed on a previous trip, and then passed on the most recent trip. This would indicated an intermittent problem may be the cause of the dtc.

Inspection procedure
1 Inspect transmission wire(sl)
Disconnect the transmission wire connector from the
transaxle.
measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the
table below.
Standard:
2 Check harness and connector(transmission wire – ecm)
Connect the transmission wire c ...
Precaution
Caution:
replace the faulty parts of the seat belt systems (outer belt, inner belt,
bolts, nuts, adjustable shoulder
anchor, tether anchor hardware, sill–bar, etc.).
Seat belt systems not in use at the time of a collision should also be inspected
and replaced if found
to be damaged or wo ...
Data list/active test
1. Data list
Hint:
using the data list displayed by the hand–held tester or the obd ii scan tool,
you can read the value of
the switches, sensors, actuators and so on without parts removal. Reading the
data list as a first step
of troubleshooting is one method to shorten diagnostic time.
