GENERAL MAINTENANCE
MA00M±03
There are the maintenance and inspection
items which are considered to be the owner's
responsibility. They can be performed by the
owner or be can have them done at a service
shop. These items include those which should
be checked on a daily basis, those which, in
most cases, do not require (special) tools and
those which are considered to be reasonable
for the owner to perform. Items and procedures
for general maintanance are as follows:

*1: ºONº displayed in the diagnosis mode column indicates that the º\
CHECKº Engine Warning Light islighted up when a malfunction is detected. ºOFFº indicates that the ºC\
HECKº does not light up during
malfunction diagnosis, even if a malfunction is detected. ºN.A.º i\
ndicates that the item is not included
in malfunction diagnosis.
*2: ºOº in the memory column indicates that a diagnostic code is reco\
rded in the ECU memory when a mal- function occurs. ºXº indicates that a diagnostic code is not recor\
ded in the ECU memory even if a mal-
function occurs. Accordingly, output of diagnostic results in normal or test mode is performed with \
the
IG switch ON.

*4: This indicates items for which º2 trip detection logicº is used. With this logic, when a lo\
gic malfunction is
first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECU memory. If the same case is detected again
during the second drive test, this second detection causes the ºCHECK\
º Engine Warning Light to light up.
The 2 trip repeats the same mode a 2nd time. (However, the IG switch must be turned OFF between the
1st trip and 2nd trip).
In the Test Mode, the ºCHECKº Engine Warning Light lights up the 1st trip a malfunction is detected.

Back±Up Function
If there is trouble with the program in the ECU and the ignition signals\
(IGT) are not output, the ECU controls
fuel injection and ignition timing at predetermined levels as a back±up f\
unction to make it possible to continue
to operate the vehicle.
Furthermore, the injection duration is calculated from the satrting sign\
al (STA) and the throttle position signal
(IDL). Also, the ignition timing is fixed at the initial ignition timing, 5 5 BTDC, without relation to the engine speed.
HINT: If the engine is controlled by the back±up function, the CHECK ENGIN\
E light lights up to warn the driver
of the malfunction but the diagnostic code is not output. TR±22

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)
Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diag. code detecting condition after diag. code is recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed confirming that diag.code is no longer detected.
DIAGNOSIS CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Initiate test mode (See page TR±12).
Start engine and warm up.
After engine is warmed up, let it idle for 3 min.
With the A/C ON and the transmission in D range (O/D ON), perform
gradual acceleration with in the range 1,300 ± 1,700 rpm (centered
around 1,500 rpm).
(Take care that the engine speed does not fall below 1,200 rpm when
shifting. Gradually depress the accelerator pedal and kept it. Steady so
that engine braking does not occur.)
Maintain the vehicle speed at 40 ± 50 mph (64 ± 80 km/h).
Keep the vehicle running for 1 ± 2 min. after starting acceleration.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the ºCHECKº engine warning light will light\
up af-
ter approx. 60 sec. from the start of acceleration.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction will not be possible.
