HOW TO READ AND ERASE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODES
Caution
1. If battery voltage is ‘low, diagnostic trouble ‘ codes
may not be output, Be sure to check the’ battery
and charging system before continuing.
2.If the battery is disconnected or if the ECM connec tor
is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble
will be erased. Do not disconnect the battery or EC M
until after the diagnostic trouble codes are record ed.
3.Turn the ignition switch off before connecting or d is-
connecting the scan tool.

1. Connect the scan tool to the data and
read the diagnostic trouble. codes.
2.Repair the malfunction while the
CHART FOR DIAGNOSTIC ‘CODES.
3. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and then back to ON
again.
4.Erase the diagnostic trouble codes using the scan tool.
5. ‘Check that the diagnostic trouble code is norma l.
INSPECTION USING SCAN TOOL DATA LIST AND ACTUA-
TOR TESTING
1. Carry out inspection by means of the data list a nd the
actuator test function.
If there is a malfunction, check and repair the chassis
harnesses and components.
2.Recheck using the scan tool and check that the malf unc-
tion has been eliminated as a result of the repairs.’
3. Erase the diagnostic trouble code from memory.
4. Remove the scan tool.
5.Start the engine again and carry out a road test to confirm
that the problem has disappeared.

DIAGNOSTIC BY TEST
(INCREASED SENSITIVITY)
When mode II is selected using the MUT-II, the chec k
engine/malfunction indicator lamp illuminates at the point when
the ECM detects a problem (except if the related
to emissions), and at the same time the correspondi ng
diagnostic trouble codes are stored.
Furthermore, in the case of comprehensive component
electrical faults (opens/shorts), the time from the occurrence
of the fault to the storing of the DTC is compresse d (4 seconds
1 second).
As a result of this, checking of the trouble symptoms
checking after have been completed are both made
easier.
Once mode II has been selected, it is necessary
ignition switch to OFF or to use the MUT-II to
I once more before mode I operation can resumed.
However, all
readiness test and frame
data will be erased after returning to mode
so this
should be recorded beforehand if necessary.
(1) Using the scan tool, changeover the diagnostic test mode
of the engine control module to DIAGNOSTIC TEST
MODE II. (INCREASED SENSITIVITY)
(2) Road test the vehicle.
(3) Read the diagnostic trouble code in the same ma nner
as “READ OUT OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE” and
repair the malfunctioning part.
(4) Turn off the ignition
NOTE
Turning OFF the ignition switch will cause the engi ne
control module to changeover the ECM from the diagn ostic
test mode II to the diagnostic test
