Engine Oil
Inspection
1. Check engine oil with the engine off and the car parked on level ground.
2. Make certain that the oil level indicated on the dipstick is between the upper and lower marks.
3. If the level has dropped close to the lower mark, add oil until it reaches the upper mark.
CAUTION: Insert the dipstick carefully to avoid
bending it. Replacement
CAUTION: Remove the drain plug carefully while the
engine is hot, the hot oil may cause scalding.
1. Warm up the engine.
2. Drain the engine oil.

Troubleshooting Guide
NOTE: Across each row in the chart, the systems that could be sources of a symptom are ranked in the order they should be inspected starting with . Find the symptom in the left column, read across to the most likely source, then refer
to the page listed at the top of that column. If inspection shows the system is OK, try the next most likely system , etc.
If codes other than those listed above are indicated, count the number of blinks again. If the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp is in fact blinking these codes, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. If the indication goes away, replace
the original ECM.
If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp is on while the engine is running, jump the service check connector. If no code
is displayed (Malfunction Indicator Lamp stays on steady), the back-up system is in operation.
Substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. If the indication goes away, replace the original ECM.

Troubleshooting
Self-diagnostic Procedures
I. When the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) has been reported on, do the following: 1. Connect the Service Check Connector terminals with a jumper wire as shown (the Service Check Connector islocated under the dash on the passenger side of the car). Turn the ignition switch ON.
SERVICE CHECK CONNECTOR (2P)
JUMPER
WIRE
2. Note the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC): the MIL indicates a code by the length and number of blinks. The MIL
can indicate any number of simultaneous component problems by blinking separate codes, one after another. Codes
1 through 9 are indicated by individual short blinks. Codes 10 through 59 are indicated by a series of long and
short blinks. The number of long blinks equals the first digit, the number of short blinks equals the second digit.

II. ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) Reset Procedure
1. Turn the ignition switch off.
2. Remove the CLOCK (7.5 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box for 10 seconds to reset ECM.
NOTE: Disconnecting the CLOCK fuse also cancels the radio preset stations and the clock setting. Make note of
the radio presets before removing the fuse so you can reset them.
III. Final Procedure (this procedure must be done after any troubleshooting)
1. Remove the Jumper Wire.
NOTE: If the Service Check Connector is jumped, the MIL will stay on.
2. Do the ECM Reset Procedure.
3. Set the radio preset stations and the clock setting.

Self-diagnostic Procedures (cont'd)
If codes other than those listed above are indicated, verify the code. If the code indicated is not listed above, replace
the
ECM.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may come on, indicating a system problem, when, in fact, there is a poor or
intermittent electrical connection. First, check the electrical connections, clean or repair connections if necessary.
A/T: The MIL and D indicator light may come on simultaneously when the code blinks 6, 7 and 17. Check the PGM-FI
system according to the PGM-FI system troubleshooting, then recheck the D indicator light. If it comes on, see page 14-52.
The MIL and TCS indicator light may come on simultaneously when the code blinks 3, 5, 6, 13, 15, 16, 17, 35 and
36.
Check
the
PGM-FI system according
to the
PGM-FI system
troubleshooting,
then
recheck
the TCS
indicator
light.
If it comes on, see page 19-84.
The MIL does not come on when there is a malfunction in the A/T Fl signal. However, when the two terminals of
the service check connector are connected with a jumper wire, the MIL will indicate the codes.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) stays on after two seconds.
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Connect the service check con-
nector terminals with a jumper
wire.
Does the MIL indicate
any Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC)?
Remove the jumper wire from the
service check connector.
Try to start the engine.Did the engine start?
Remove and inspect the ACG (S) (20 A) fuse in the engine compart-
ment fuse/relay box.
Is the fuse OK?
(To page 11-45) Go to self-diagnostic procedures
(see page 11-34).
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Connect the test harness between
the ECM and connectors (see page 11-37).
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Measure voltage between C9 (+)
terminal and D22 (-) terminal.
Is there approx. 5V (A/T: 11 V)?
Repair short to body ground in
BLU wire between the ECM (C9),
TCM, EPS control unit, ABS con-
trol unit or TCS control unit and service check connector.
Repair open in BLU wire be-
tween ECM (C9) and service check connector.
Repair open in GRN/WHT wire
between service check con-
nector and ECM (D22).
Replace the fuse.
NOTE: After repair, disconnect the service check con-
nector jumper wire, test drive the car, and recheck the
MIL for a code. NOTE: When there is no code stored, the MIL will stay
on if the service check connector is jumped.
Connect the service
check connector termi-
nals with a jumper wire.
Measure voltage be-
tween C9 (+) terminal
and D22 (-) terminal.
Is there approx. 5 V(A/T:
11 V)?
Remove the jumper
wire from the service
check connector.
