Title: M20A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR; 2023 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback [09/2022 - 11/2022]

DTC CHECK / CLEAR

NOTICE:

When the diagnosis system is changed from normal mode to check mode or vice versa, all DTCs and Freeze Frame Data recorded in normal mode are cleared. Before changing modes, always check and make a note of DTCs and Freeze Frame Data.

HINT:

DTCs which are stored in the ECM can be displayed on the Techstream. The Techstream can display the confirmed, pending and permanent DTCs.
If a malfunction is detected during the current driving cycle, confirmed and permanent DTCs are stored.
Some DTCs are not stored if the ECM does not detect the same malfunction again during a second consecutive driving cycle. However, such malfunctions, detected on only one occasion, are stored as pending DTCs.
confirmed and pending DTCs can be cleared by using the Techstream or by disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. However, permanent DTCs cannot be cleared using either of these two methods.
After clearing current DTCs using the Techstream (or by disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal), permanent DTCs can be cleared when the universal trip is performed and then the system is determined to be normal for the relevant DTCs. The driving pattern to obtain a normal judgment is described under the "Confirmation Driving Pattern" for the respective DTC.
To clear permanent DTCs, all of the following conditions must be are met:
- There is a history that universal trip driving was performed.
- For TMMMS Made: The vehicle has been judged as normal for 2 trips. (Normal judgment does not have to be performed in 2 consecutive trip, but normal judgment should occur in the latest trip.) (not for misfire and fuel system DTCs)
- For TMC Made: The vehicle has been judged as normal for 1 trip. (not for misfire and fuel system DTCs)
- No malfunctions are detected.

2 Trip Detection Logic Examples

1: for TMMMS Made 2: for TMC Made
Pending DTC	Store condition	Malfunction detected
Pending DTC	Clear condition	System determined to be normal or DTCs cleared using Techstream or Cable disconnected from negative (-) battery terminal
Confirmed DTC	Store condition	Malfunction detected (2nd trip)
Confirmed DTC	Clear condition	No malfunctions in 40 driving cycles or DTCs cleared using Techstream or Cable disconnected from negative (-) battery terminal
Permanent DTC	Store condition	Malfunction detected (2nd trip)
Permanent DTC	Clear condition	Engine switch turned on (IG) after normal judgment obtained in 3 consecutive driving cycles or After DTCs cleared using Techstream or cable disconnected from negative (-) battery terminal, universal trip performed and normal judgment obtained for 2 trips1 or 1 trip2 (not for misfire and fuel system DTCs) or After DTCs cleared using Techstream or cable disconnected from negative (-) battery terminal, malfunction not detected when universal trip driving performed (misfire and fuel system DTCs)
MIL	ON	Malfunction detected (2nd trip)
MIL	OFF	Engine switch turned on (IG) after normal judgment obtained in 3 consecutive driving cycles or DTCs cleared using Techstream or Cable disconnected from negative (-) battery terminal

For TMMMS Made

For TMC Made

HINT:

Obtaining a normal judgment and performing a universal trip driving pattern can be done in the same driving cycle or in different driving cycles.
It is unnecessary to obtain a normal judgment if the output DTCs are misfire or fuel system DTCs.

CHECK DTC

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes

(e) Check the DTC(s) and Freeze Frame Data, and then write them down.

Techstream Display	Description
Test Failed	Shows the malfunction judgment results during the current trip.
Pending	Shows the malfunction judgment results up to now. (Indicates the possibility of a malfunction when no DTC is confirmed.)
Confirmed	Shows the DTCs confirmed up to now. (The number of current trips differs for each DTC.)

(f) Check the details of the DTC(s).

CLEAR DTC (Pending and Confirmed DTC)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

(e) Clear the DTCs.

Powertrain > Engine > Clear DTCs

CLEAR DTC (Pending and Confirmed DTC without using Techstream)

(a) Perform either of the following operations:

NOTICE:

After the ignition switch is turned off, there may be a waiting time before disconnecting the negative (-) battery terminal.

When disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.
HINT:

When disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, there is an automatic learning function that completes learning when the respective system is used.

(1) Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal for more than 1 minute.

(2) Remove the EFI NO. 1 fuse from the No. 1 engine room relay block and No. 1 junction block assembly located inside the engine compartment for more than 1 minute.

CLEAR PERMANENT DTC (for TMMMS Made)

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes

HINT:

If "PERMANENT" in the top right of the screen displays "YES", permanent DTCs are stored.

(e) Select the "Generic" tab.

(f) Check if permanent DTCs are stored.

If permanent DTCs are not output, it is not necessary to continue this procedure.
