CONSULT (Cont'd)
REAL TIMEDIAGNOSIS INDATA MONITOR MODE

CONSULT hastwo kinds oftriggers andthey canbeselected bytouching "SETTING" in"DATA
MONITOR" mode.
1. "AUTO TRIG"(Automatic trigger):
• The malfunction willbeidentified onthe CONSULT screeninreal time.
In other words, DTCandmalfunction itemwillbedisplayed atthe moment themalfunction is
detected byECM.
DATA MONITOR canbeperformed continuously untilamalfunction isdetected. However, DATA
MONITOR cannotcontinue anylonger afterthemalfunction detection.
2. "MANU TRIG"(Manual trigger):
• DTC andmalfunction itemwillnotbedisplayed automatically onCONSULT screeneventhough
a malfunction isdetected byECM. •
DATA MONITOR canbeperformed continuously eventhough amalfunction isdetected.
Use these triggers asfollows:
1. "AUTO TRIG"
• While trying todetect theDTC byperforming the"DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE",besure
to select to"DATA MONITOR (AUTOTRIG)" mode.Youcanconfirm themalfunction atthe
moment itis detected.
• While narrowing downthepossible causes,CONSULT shouldbeset in"DATA MONITOR (AUTO
TRIG)" mode,especially incase theincident isintermittent.
Inspect thecircuit bygently shaking (ortwisting) suspicious connectors, components andharness
in the "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE".Themoment amalfunction isfound theDTC willbe
displayed. (RefertoGI section, "Incident Simulation Tests"in"HOW TOPERFORM EFFICIENT
DIAGNOSIS FORANELECTRICAL INCIDENT".)
2. "MANU TRIG"
• Ifthe malfunction isdisplayed assoon as"DATA MONITOR" isselected, resetCONSULT to
"MANU TRIG".Byselecting "MANUTRIG"youcanmonitor andstore thedata. Thedata canbe
utilized forfurther diagnosis, suchasacomparison withthevalue forthe normal operating con-
dition.

DESCRIPTION
Get detailed information abouttheconditions andtheenvironment whentheincident/symptom occurred
using the"DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" asshown onthe next page.
Before confirming theconcern, checkandwrite down (printoutusing CONSULT) theDiagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC), thenerase thecode. TheDTC canbeused when duplicating theincident atSTEP III
&
IV.
Study therelationship betweenthecause, specified byDTC, andthesymptom described bythe customer.
(The "Symptom MatrixChart" willbeuseful. RefertoEC-72.)
Try toconfirm thesymptom andunder whatconditions theincident occurs.
The "DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET" isuseful toverify theincident. ConnectCONSULT tothe vehicle inDATA
MONITOR (AUTOTRIG)modeandcheck realtime diagnosis results.
If the incident cannotbeverified, performINCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS.RefertoGI section.
If the malfunction codeisdetected, skipSTEP IVand perform STEPV.
Try todetect theDiagnostic TroubleCode(DTC) bydriving in(or performing) the"DTC CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE". Checkandread theDTC byusing CONSULT.
During theDTC verification, besure toconnect CONSULT tothe vehicle inDATA MONITOR (AUTOTRIG)
mode andcheck realtime diagnosis results.

If
the incident cannotbeverified, performINCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS.RefertoGI section.
In case the"DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE"isnot available, performthe"OVERALL FUNCTION
CHECK" instead.TheDTC cannot bedisplayed bythis check, however, thissimplified "check"isan effec-
tive alternative.
The "NG" result ofthe "OVERALL FUNCTIONCHECK"isthe same asthe DTC detection.
Take theappropriate actionbasedonthe results ofSTEP Ithrough IV.
If the malfunction codeisindicated, proceedtoTROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FORDTCXX.
If the normal codeisindicated, proceedtothe BASIC INSPECTION. RefertoEC-65. Thenperform inspec-
tions according tothe Symptom MatrixChart.RefertoEC-72.
Identify wheretobegin diagnosis basedonthe relationship studybetween symptom andpossible causes.
Inspect thesystem formechanical binding,looseconnectors orwiring damage using(tracing) "Harness
Layouts".
Gently shaketherelated connectors, components orwiring harness withCONSULT setin"DATA MONITOR
(AUTO TRIG)" mode.
Check thevoltage ofthe related ECMterminals ormonitor theoutput datafrom therelated sensors with
CONSULT. RefertoEC-74.
The "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE" inEC section contains adescription basedonopen circuit inspection. A
short circuit inspection isalso required forthe circuit checkinthe DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE. Fordetails,
refer toGI section ("HOWTOPERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FORANELECTRICAL INCIDENT","Circuit
Inspection' ').
Repair orreplace themalfunction parts.
Once youhave repaired thecircuit orreplaced acomponent, youneed torun theengine inthe same condi-
tions andcircumstances whichresulted inthe customer's initialcomplaint.
Perform the"DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE"andconfirm thenormal code(Diagnostic troublecodeNo.
55) isdetected. Ifthe incident isstill detected inthe final check, perform STEPVIby using adifferent
method fromtheprevious one.
Before returning thevehicle tothe customer, besure toerase theunnecessary (alreadyfixed)DTCinECM.
Refer toEC-46.
