Back±Up Function
If there is trouble with the program in the ECM and the ignition signals (IGT) are not output from the microcomput-
er, the ECM controls fuel injection and ignition timing at predetermined levels as a back±up function to make
it possible to continue to operate the vehicle.
Furthermore, the injection duration is calculated from the starting signal (STA) and the throttle position signal
(IDL). Also, the ignition timing is fixed at the initial ignition timing, 10
°BTDC, without relation to the engine speed.
HINT: If the engine is controlled by the back±up function, the malfunction indicator lamp lights up to warn the
driver of the malfunction but the diagnostic trouble code is not output. EG±504

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
As described in the preceding paragraph, abnormality detection
ability in the test mode is increased compared to that in the normal
mode, so that when intermittent problems occur in the ECM signal
circuits (G1, G2, NE, THW, THA, VTA1, VTA2) shown in the table
below, the appropriate diagnostic trouble code is output.
Accordingly, when the diagnostic trouble codes shown in the table
opposite (13, 22, 24, 41, 47) are output during the diagnostic
trouble code check, and inspection of the appropriate circuits re-
veals no abnormality, check for intermittent problems as described
below.
By checking for intermittent problems, the place where intermittent
problems are occurring due to poor contacts can be isolated.
CLEAR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
See page EG±493.
SET TEST MODE
1. With the ignition switch OFF, using SST, connect the
terminals TE2 and E1 of the data link connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
2. Start the engine and check to see the malfunction indicator
lamp goes off.
PERFORM A SIMULATION TEST
Using the symptom simulation (See page IN±24), apply vibration
to and pull lightly on the wire harness, connector or terminals in the
circuit indicated by the malfunction code.
In this test, if the malfunction indicator lamp lights up, it indicates
that the place where the wire harness, connector or terminals be-
ing pulled or vibrated has faulty contact. Check that point for loose
connections, dirt on the terminals, poor fit or other problems and
repair as necessary.
HINT: After cancelling out the diagnostic trouble code in memory
and set the test mode, if the malfunction indicator lamp does not
go off after the engine is started, check thoroughly for faulty con-
tacts, etc., then try the check again, if the malfunction indicator
lamp still does not go off, check and replace ECM.

Check idle speed.
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symp-
toms on page EG±514.
(1) Shift transmission into ªNº position.
(2) Warm up engine to normal operating tempera±
ture.
(3) Switch OFF all accessories.
(4) Switch OFF air conditioning.
(5) Connect tachometer test probe to terminal
IG of data link connector 1.
Check Idle speed.
Idle speed: 650 50 rpm
Never allow tachometer test probe to touch
ground as it could result in damage to igniter
and/or ignition coil.
As some tachometers are not compatible
with this ignition system, we recommended
that you confirm the compatibility of your
unit before use.
Check ignition timing.
(1) Shift transmission into ªNº position.
(2) Warm up engine to normal operating tempera±
ture.
(3) Keep the engine speed at idle.
(4) Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of
data link connector 1.
SST 09843±18020
(5) Connect a timing light clip to the check wire.
(See page EG±20)
Check ignition timing.
Ignition timing: 10 2° BTDC @ idle
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symp-
toms on page EG±514.
Proceed to page EG±518 and continue to
troubleshoot.

Check fuel pressure.
Proceed to page EG±264 and continue to
troubleshoot.
(1) Be sure that there is enough fuel in the tank.
(2) Turn ignition switch ON.
(3) Using SST, connect terminals FP and +B of
data link connector 1.
SST 09843±18020
Check that there is pressure in the hose from the fuel
filter.
If there is fuel pressure, you will hear the sound of fuel
flowing.
Never make a mistake with the terminal con-
nection position as this will cause a malfunc-
tion.
Check for spark.
Proceed to page IG±21 and continue to trou-
bleshoot.
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symptoms
on page EG±514.
(1) Remove ignition coil (See page IG±26)
(2) Remove spark plug.
(3) Install the spark plug to the ignition coil, and connect
the ignition coil connector.
(4) Ground the spark plug.
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors
during this test, don't crank the engine for more than 1
Ð 2 seconds at a time.

STANDARD VALUE OF ECM TERMINALS
Connectors of the engine control module are waterproof and are
the bolt type.
For waterproof type connectors, in order to measure the voltage
of ECM terminals and the resistance of connected parts, connect
the inspection sub wire harness between the ECM and vehicle
wire harness, then do the inspection.
The inspection method of inserting a tester probe from the other
side of connector significantly reduces the waterproof perfor-
mance.
Disconnect the connector by fully loosening the bolt.
PREPARATION
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn up the passenger side floor carpet.
(See page EG±324)
3. Remove the ECM protector.
4. Disconnect the connector from the ECM.
After completely loosening the bolt, the 2 parts of the connec-
tor can be separated.
NOTICE:
wDo not pull the wire harness when disconnecting the con-
nector.
wWhen disconnecting the connector, the ECM's back±up
power source is cut off, so the malfunction codes, etc. re-
corded in the ECM memory are cancelled.
wNever insert a tester probe or male terminal used for in-
spection purposes into the female terminal of the vehicle
wire harness. Otherwise, the female terminal may be wid-
ened, which can result in faulty connection.
5. Connect SST (check harness ºAº) between the ECM and
connector of the vehicle wire harness.
SST 09990±01000
HINT: The arrangement of the check connector terminals are
the same as those of the ECM.
See page EG±511.
6. Disconnect the SST.
SST 09990±01000
7. Reconnect the connector to the ECM.
(a) M a t c h t h e m a l e connector correctly with the female
connector, then press them together.
(b) Tighten the bolt.
Make sure the connector is completely connected by tighten-
ing the bolt until there is a clearance of less than 1 mm (0.04
in.) between the bottom of the male connector and the end
of the female connector.
8. Install the ECM protector and floor carpet. EG±510
