Inspection procedure
  1. Perform active test by intelligent tester (main body ecu)
  2. Connect the intelligent tester (with can vim) to the dlc3.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to the on position and press the intelligent tester main switch on.
  4. Select the items below in the active test and then check the main body ecu operation.
