DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
__ --
FL25
(MA)
The ECU contains a built-in self-diagnosis system by which
troubles with the engine signal network are detected and a
“CHECK ENGINE” warning light on the instrument panel
flashes,
By analyzing various signals as shown in the later table (See
pages Fl-30, 31) the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) detects
system malfunctions which are related to the various operating
parameter sensors or to the actuator. The ECU stores the
failure until the diagnosis system is cleared by removing the EFI
fuse with the ignition switch off.
A “CHECK ENGINE” warning light on the instrument panel
informs the driver that a malfunction has been detected.
The light goes out automatically when the malfunction has
been cleared.
The diagnostic code can be read by the number of the blinks of
the “CHECK ENGINE” warning light when T and El are short-
circuit.
(MS)
The ECU contains a built-in self-diagnosis system by which
troubles with the engine signal network are detected and a
“CHECK ENGINE” warning light on the instrument panel
flashes.
By analyzing various signals as shown in the later table (See
page FI-32) the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) detects system
malfunctions which are related to the various operating
parameter sensors or to the actuator. The ECU stores the
failure until the diagnosis system is cleared by removing the EFI
fuse with the ignition switch off.
In the ECU, a test mode function has been added to the func-
tions of the self-diagnosis system of the previous diagnosis
mode (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 to follow the pro-
cedures of appropriate check terminal connection and opera-
tion described in later (See page FI-28).
In the normal mode, the self-diagnosis system monitors 14
items, indicated by the codes except for code No. 51 as shown
in FI-32. A “CHECK ENGINE” warning light on the instrument
panel informs the driver that a malfunction has been detected.
The light goes out automatically when the malfunction has
been cleared.
The diagnostic code can be read by the number of the blinks of
the “CHECK ENGINE” warning light when TEl and El are
short-circuited.

“CHECK ENGINE” Warning Light In the test mode, seven items, indicated by code
24, 41, 42, 43, and 5 1, as shown in FI-32 are m
malfunction is detected in any one of the systems
code Nos. 13, 22, 24, and 41 the ECU lights the “CHECK
ENGINE” warning light to warm the technician that the mal-
function has been detected. In this case, TE2 and El terminals
on the check connector should be connected as shown later
(See page FI-28)
In the test mode, for all seven conditions shown above in code
Nos. 13 - 51, even if the malfunction is corrected, the mal-
function is stored in the ECU memory while the ignition switch
remains on. Also, when a malfunction occurs for-the four con-
ditions from code Nos. 13 - 41, the “CHECK ENGINE” warning
light remains on. However, once the ignition switch is turned to
OFF, the ECU erases all of the malfunctions in the memory. The
diagnostic mode (normal or test) and the output of the “CHECK
ENGINE” warning light can be selected by the TEl , TE2 and El
terminal connections on the check connector, as shown in the
later.
“CHECK ENGINE” WARNING LIGHT CHECK
1. The “CHECK ENGINE” warning light will come on when
the ignitiorqw:@ch is placed at ON and the engine is not
running. -y.
2. When the engine is started, the “CHECK ENGINE” warning
light should go out.
If the light remains on, the diagnosis system has detected
a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
OUTPUT OF DIAGNOSIS CODES
(MA)
To obtain an output of diagnostic codes, proceed as follows:
1. Initial conditions ,’
(a)’ Battery voltage about 11 volts
(b) Throttle valve fully closed (throttle position sensor
IDL points closed)
(cl Transmission in neutral position
(d) Accessory switches OFF
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Do not start the engine.

CANCELLING OUT DIAGNOSTIC CODE
1.
2. After repair of the trouble area, the diagnostic code
retained in memory by the ECU must be cancelled out by
removing the EFI fuse 15A for 30 seconds or more,
depending on ambient temperature (the lower the tem-
perature, the longer the fuse must be left out) with the
ignition switch off.
NOTE:
l Cancellation can also be done by removing the battery”
negative (-1 terminal, but in this case other memory
systems (clock etc.) will also be cancelled out.
l If the diagnostic code is not cancelled out, it will be
retained by the ECU and appear along with a new code
in event of future trouble.
l If it is necessary to work on engine components requir-
ing removal of the battery terminal, a check must first
be made to see if a diagnostic code has been recorded.
After cancellation, road test the vehicle to check that a
“normal” code is now read on the “CHECK ENGINE”
warning light.
If the same diagnostic code is still indicated, it means that
the trouble area has not been repaired thoroughly.
DIAGNOSIS INDICATION
(I) When 2 or more codes are indicated, the lowest number
(code) will appear first.
However, no other code will appear along with code No.
11.
(2) All detected diagnostic codes, except 51 and 53, will be
retained in memory by the ECU from the time of detection
until cancelled out.
(3) Once the malfunction is cleared, the “CHECK ENGINE”
warning light on the instrument panel will go out but the
diagnostic code(s) remain stored in ECU memory (except
for codes 51 and 53).
