DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The ECM contains a built±in self±diagnosis system by which
troubles with the engine signal network are detected and a Mal-
function Indicator Lamp on the instrument panel lights up.
By analyzing various signals as shown in a later table (See page
EG±494) the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects system mal-
functions relating to the sensors or actuators.
In the normal mode, the self±diagnosis system monitors 19 items,
indicated by code No. as shown in EG±494. A malfunction indica-
tor lamp informs the driver that a malfunction has been detected.
The lamp goes off automatically when the malfunction has been
repaired, but the diagnostic trouble code(s) remains stored in the
ECM memory (except for code Nos. 16 and 53). The ECM stores
the code(s) until it is cleared by removing the EFI No. 1 fuse with
the ignition switch OFF.
The diagnostic trouble code can be read by the number of blinks
of the malfunction indicator lamp when TE1 and E1 terminals on
the data link connector 1 or 2 are connected. When 2 or more
codes are indicated, the lowest number (code) will appear first.
In the test mode, 13 items, indicated by code No. as shown in
EG±494 are monitored. If a malfunction is detected in any one of
the systems indicated by code Nos. 13, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 35,
41, 47, 71 and 78 the ECM lights the malfunction indicator lamp
to warn the technician that a malfunction has been detected. In
this case, TE2 and E1 terminals on the data link connector 2
should be connected as shown later. (See page EG±492).
In the test mode, even if the malfunction is corrected, the malfunc-
tion code is stored in the ECM memory even when the ignition
switch OFF (except code Nos. 43 and 51). The also applies in the
normal mode. The diagnostic trouble mode (normal or test) and
the output of the malfunction indicator lamp can be selected by
connecting the TE1, TE2 and E1 terminals on the data link con-
nector 2, as shown later.
A test mode function has been added to the functions of the self±
diagnosis system of the normal mode for the purpose of detecting
malfunctions such as poor contact, which are difficult to detect in
the normal mode. This function fills up the self±diagnosis system.
The test mode can be implemented by the technician following the
appropriate procedures of check terminal connection and opera-
tion described later. (See page EG±492) EG±490

Diagnosis Inspection (Normal Mode)
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CHECK
1. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp will come on when the
ignition switch is turned ON and the engine is not running.
HINT: If the malfunction indicator lamp does not light up, pro-
ceed to troubleshooting of the telltale light RH (See page
BE±48).
2. When the engine is started, the malfunction indicator lamp
should go off.
If the light remains on, the diagnosis system has detected a
malfunction or abnormality in the system.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Using SST, connect terminals between TE1 and E1 of data
link connector 1 or 2.
SST 09843±18020
3. Read the diagnostic trouble code from malfunction indicator
lamp.
HINT: If a diagnostic trouble code is not output, check the TE1
terminal circuit (See page EG±598).
As an example, the blinking patterns for codes; normal, 12
and 31 are as shown on the illustration.
4. Check the details of the malfunction using the diagnostic
trouble code table on page EG±494.
5. After completing the check, disconnect terminals TE1 and
E1, and turn off the display.
HINT: In the event of 2 or more malfunction codes, indication
will begin from the smaller numbered code and continue in
order to the larger.

Diagnosis Inspection (Test Mode)
Compared to the normal mode, the test mode has an in-
creased sensing ability to detect malfunctions.
It can also detect malfunctions in the starter signal circuit, the
IDL contact signal of the throttle position sensor, air condi-
tioning signal and park/neutral position switch signal.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected
in the normal mode can also be detected in the test mode.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
1. Initial conditions.
(a) Battery voltage 11 V or more
(b) Throttle valve fully closed
(c) Transmission in neutral position
(d) Air conditioning switched OFF
2. Turn ignition switch OFF
3. Using SST, connect terminals TE2 and E1 of the data link
connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
HINT:
wTo confirm that the test mode is operating, check that the
malfunction indicator lamp flashes when the ignition
switch is turned to ON.
wIf the malfunction indicator lamp does not flash, proceed
to troubleshooting of the TE2 terminal circuit on page
EG±598.
5. Start the engine.
6. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the
customer.
7. After the road test, using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1
of the data link connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
8. Read the diagnostic trouble code on malfunction indicator
lamp on the telltale light RH (See page EG±491).
9. After completing the check, disconnect terminals TE1, TE2
and E1, and turn off the display.
HINT:
wThe test mode will not start if terminals TE2 and E1 are
connected after the ignition switch is turned ON.
wWhen the engine is not cranked, diagnostic trouble
codes º43º (Starter signal) output, but this is not
abnormal.
wWhen the automatic transmission shift lever is in the ºDº,
º2º, ºLº or ºRº shift position, or when the air conditioning
is on or when the accelerator pedal is depressed, code
º51º (Switch condition signal) is output, but this is not
abnormal. EG±492

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.
