ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The engine control module monitors the input/out-
put signals (some signals at all times and the othe rs
under specified conditions) of the engine control
module.
Whenamalfunction has continued for a specified
time or longer since the irregular signal is initia lly
monitored, the engine control module judges that
a malfunction has occurred.
After the ECM first detects a malfunction, a diagno s-
tic trouble code is recorded when the engine is
restarted and the same malfunction is re-detected.
However, for items marked with a
a diagnostic
trouble code is recorded on the first detection of
the malfunction.
There are 45 diagnostic items, and the diagnostic results can be read out with a scan tool.
Moreover, since memorization of the diagnostic
trouble codes is backed up directly by the battery,
the diagnostic results are memorized even if the ignition key is turned off. The diagnostic trouble
codes will, however, be erased when the battery
terminal or the engine control module connector
is disconnected.
In addition, the diagnostic trouble code can also
be erased by turning the ignition switch to ON and
sending the diagnostic trouble code erase signal
from the scan tool to the engine control module.
Caution
If the sensor connector ‘is disconnected wlth
the’ ignition switch turned on, the diagnostic
trouble code is
In send
the diagnostic trouble code erase to the
engine control module in order to erase the
diagnostic memory.
The 45 diagnostic items are as follows,
and if plural items are activated, they are all ind i-
cated sequentially from the smallest code number.
Caution
The diagnostic trouble code of ignition
adjustment signal is output whenever
for ignition timing adjustment Is grounded.
Therefore, it is not a malfunction that the code
is output when adjusting
The ECM records the diagnostic, trouble code and
the engine operating conditions at the time the
malfunction was detected.’ These are called
“freeze frame” data.
This data indicates the engine operafing condition
from when nothing at all is detected to the initial
detection of malfunction.
This data can be read by using the scan tool, and
can then be used in simulation tests trouble-
shooting. Data items are as follows.,,
