CURRENT DATA DISPLAY & SAVE / SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK MODE
1. Read data list
CAUTION:
The values indicated under the normal conditions in the table below are informative values. Do not depend on reference value only when judging if the part is faulty.
NOTE:
By using the SSM3 for reading the data list, it is able to read the values and the status of the switches, sensors, or actuators without removing these parts. This inspection is very useful because it allows an operator to read any intermittent conditions or signals without disturbing parts or wiring. By reading the current data display & save information at an initial phase of troubleshooting, you can save time for diagnosis.
(1) Turn IG SW to OFF.
(2) Connect the SSM3 to the DLC3.
(3) Turn IG SW to ON.
(4) Turn on the SSM3.
(5) Enter the following menus. [Integ. unit mode] → [Current Data Display & Save]
(6) Using SSM3, read the data list according to the screen displays.

Description of functions
If the driver’s door is opened while the ignition switch is set at the lock position or ACC, the key reminder warning buzzer sounds. When the main body ECM (multiplex network body computer) transmits a key switch signal and driver’s courtesy light switch signal to the combination meter ASSY, the key reminder warning buzzer operates.

Inspection steps
NOTE:
Because the key warning system includes functions that use CAN communication, first check if any problem is present in the CAN communication function according to “How to troubleshoot”. Next, perform the following troubleshooting procedure.
1.
Reading values with SSM3 (front door courtesy light switch)
(1) Connect the SSM3 to the DLC3.
(2) Turn IG SW to ON.
(3) Turn on the SSM3.
(4) Enter the following menus. [Integ. unit mode] → [Current Data Display & Save]
(5) Using SSM3, read the data list according to the screen displays.
