Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: TC and CG Terminal Circuit

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Supplemental Restraint Systems / Airbag System / TC and CG Terminal Circuit

DESCRIPTION

DTC output mode is set by connecting terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.

The DTCs are displayed by blinking the SRS warning light.

HINT:

Make sure that DTCs which relate to the CAN communication system are not output. If any of these DTCs are output, check the CAN communication system (See page ).
The DTC output mode signal is transmitted through the CAN to an ECU including the airbag sensor assembly. Thus if no systems enter DTC output mode, the ECM may have a malfunction.
When a warning light keeps blinking, a short to ground in the wiring of terminal TC of the DLC3 or an internal ground short in each ECU is suspected.
