INTRODUCTION
If no faults were found while performing BASIC TESTING , proceed with self-diagnostics. If no fault codes or only pass codes are present
after entering self-diagnostics, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section for diagnosis by symptom
(i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.).
This article uses many abbreviations for devices, signal names, and wire colors. See SELF
-DIAGNOSTICS ABBREVIATIONS table.
Abbreviations for wire colors used in individual PINPOINT TEST diagrams are as follows:
BLK - Black
BLU - Blue
BRN - Brown
GRN - Green
LT GRN - Light Green
ORG - Orange
PNK - Pink
RED - Red
WHT - White
YEL - Yellow
SELF-DIAGNOSTICS ABBREVIATIONS
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
Hard Failures
Hard failures cause CHECK ENGINE light (MIL) to come on and remain on until problem is repaired. If MIL comes on and remains on (light
may flash) during vehicle operation, cause of malfunction must be determined using diagnostic (code) charts. If a sensor fails, ECA will use a
substitute value in its calculations to permit continued engine operation. In this condition (limp-in mode), vehicle will run but driveability will
not be optimum.
Intermittent Failures
Intermittent failures may cause MIL to flicker or come on and go off after intermittent defect goes away. Corresponding trouble code, however,
will be retained in ECA memory. If related defect does not reoccur within a certain time frame, related trouble code will be erased from ECA
