WARNING: APPLY PARKING BRAKE AND/OR
BLOCK WHEELS BEFORE PERFORMING A TEST
WITH THE ENGINE OPERATING.
OBTAINING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
(1) Connect DRBII scan tool to the data link con-
nector located in the engine compartment near the
powertrain control module (PCM). (2) Start the engine if possible, cycle the transaxle
selector and the A/Cswitch if applicable. Shut off
the engine. (3) Turn the ignition switch on, access Read Fault
Screen. Record all the fault messages shown on the
DRBII scan tool. Observe the malfunction indicator
lamp (check engine lamp on the instrument panel).
The lamp should light for 3 seconds then go out (bulb
check).
STATE DISPLAY TEST MODE
The switch inputs used by the powertrain control
module (PCM) have only two recognized states,
HIGH and LOW. For this reason, the PCM cannot
recognize the difference between a selected switch po-
sition versus an open circuit, a short circuit, or a de-
fective switch. If the change is displayed, it can be
assumed that the entire switch circuit to the PCM is
functional. From the state display screen access ei-
ther State Display Inputs and Outputs or State Dis-
play Sensors.
STATE DISPLAY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Connect the DRBII scan tool to the vehicle and ac-
cess the State Display screen. Then access Inputs and
Outputs. The following is a list of the engine control
system functions accessible through the Inputs and
Outputs screen. Park/Neutral Switch (automatic transaxle only)

CIRCUIT ACTUATION TEST MODE
The circuit actuation test mode checks for proper
operation of output circuits or devices which the pow-
ertrain control module (PCM) cannot internally rec-
ognize. The PCM can attempt to activate these
outputs and allow an observer to verify proper oper-
ation. Most of the tests provide an audible or visual
indication of device operation (click of relay contacts,
spray fuel, etc.). With the exception of an intermit-
tent condition, if a device functions properly during
its test, it can be assumed that the device, its associ-
ated wiring, and its driver circuit are in working or-
der.

cess the Actuators screen. The following is a list of

PROCEDURE
(1) Connect DRBII scan tool.
(2) Remove air cleaner assembly. Plug the heated
air door vacuum hose. (3) Warm engine in Park or Neutral until the cool-
ing fan has cycled on and off at least once. (4) Hook-up timing check device and tachometer.
(5) Disconnect the coolant temperature sensor and
set basic timing to 12ÉBTDC 62ÉBTDC.
(6) Shut off engine. Reconnect coolant temperature
sensor. (7) Disconnect the PCV valve hose from the intake
manifold nipple. (8) Attach Air Metering Fitting #6457 (Fig. 4) to
the intake manifold PCV nipple. (9) Restart the engine, allow engine to idle for at
least one minute. (10) Using the DRBII scan tool, Access Min Air-
flow Idle Spd in the sensor read test mode. (11) The following will then occur:
² Idle air control motor will fully close.
² Idle spark advance will become fixed.
² Idle fuel will be provided at a set value.
² Engine RPM will be displayed on DRBII scan tool.
(12) Check idle RPM with tachometer. If idle RPM is within the specifications listed below, then the
throttle body minimum air flow is set correctly.
If idle RPM is not within specification replace
throttle body. (13) Shut off engine.
(14) Remove Special Tool number 6457 from in-
take manifold PCV nipple. Reinstall the PCV valve
hose. (15) Remove DRBII scan tool.
(16) Reinstall air cleaner assembly. Reinstall
heated air door vacuum hose. (17) Disconnect timing check device and tachome-
ter.

FUEL LINES AND HOSES
Perform the Fuel System Pressure Relief Procedure
before servicing the fuel system. The procedure must
be done to bleed fuel pressure from the system before
removing clamps or hoses. Use care when removing fuel hoses to prevent dam-
age to hose or hose nipple. Always use new hose
clamps, of the correct type, during reassembly. Tighten
hose clamps to 1 N Im (10 in. lbs.) torque. Do not use
aviation style clamps on this system or hose
damage may result.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Before servicing the fuel pump, fuel lines,
fuel filter, throttle body, or fuel injector, release fuel
system pressure.
(1) Loosen fuel filler cap to release fuel tank pres-
sure. (2) Disconnect injector wiring harness connector at
edge of throttle body (Fig. 1). (3) Connect a jumper wire between terminal Num-
ber 1 of the injector harness and engine ground. (4) Connect a jumper wire to the positive terminal
Number 2 of the injector harness and touch the battery
positive post for no longer than 5 seconds . This
releases system pressure. (5) Remove jumper wires.
(6) Continue fuel system service.
THROTTLE BODY
CAUTION: The fuel system is under a constant pres-
sure of 270 kPa (39 psi). When servicing the fuel
portion of the throttle body, release fuel pressure
before disconnecting any tubes. Refer to the fuel
pressure release procedure.
Always reassemble throttle body components with
new O-rings and seals where applicable. Never use
silicone lubricants on O-rings or seals, damage may
result. Use care when removing fuel tubes to prevent
damage to quick connect fittings or tube ends. Refer to Fuel Hoses, Clamps, and Quick Connect Fittings
in the Fuel Delivery Section of this Group.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove air cleaner (Fig. 2).
(2) Perform fuel system pressure release procedure.
(3) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(4) Disconnect vacuum hoses and electrical connec-
tors (Fig. 3).
