If the engine speedisabove 2,500rpmwith noload (for
example, inneutral andengine speedover2,500 rpm)fuelwill
be cut offafter some time.Theexact timewhen thefuel iscut
off varies basedonengine speed.
Fuel cutwill operate untiltheengine speedreaches 2,000rpm,
then fuelcutiscancelled.

• On models equipped withairconditioner,
checks shouldbecarried outwhile theair
conditioner is"OFF".
• On models equipped withautomatic
transaxle, whenchecking idlespeed, ignition

probe morethan40cm (15.7 in)into tailpipe .•
• Turn offheadlamps, heaterblower, rear

the number ofsingle digits. Forexample, themalfunction indicatorlampblinks 4times forabout 2.5
seconds (0.6secx4 times) andthen itblinks threetimes forabout 1second (0.3secx3 times). This
indicates theDTC "43" andrefers tothe malfunction ofthe throttle position sensor.
In this way, allthe detected malfunctions areclassified bytheir diagnostic troublecodenumbers. The
DTC "55" refers tono malfunction. (SeeDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLECODECHART, refertoEC-62.)

HOW TOERASE DIAGNOSTIC TESTMODE II(Self-diagnostic results)

The diagnostic troublecodecanbeerased fromthebackup memory inthe ECM when thediagnostic
test mode ischanged fromDiagnostic TestMode IIto Diagnostic TestMode
I.
(Refer to"HOW TO
SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TESTMODES" onprevious page.)

• Ifthe battery terminal isdisconnected, thediagnostic troublecodewillbelost from thebackup
memory within24hours.
• Becareful nottoerase thestored memory before
startin~
troublediagnoses.

• If
the MIL blinks or"NATS MALFUNCTION" isdisplayed on
"SELF-OIAG RESULTS"screen,perform self-diagnostic
results modewithCONSULT usingNATS program card
(NATS-E940). RefertoEL section.
• Confirm noself-diagnostic resultsofNATS isdisplayed
before touching "ERASE" in"SELF-DIAG RESULTS"mode
with CONSULT.
• When replacing ECM,initialisation ofNATS V2.0system and
registration ofall NATS V2.0ignition key10smust becar-
ried outwith CONSULT usingNATS program card(NATS-
E940).
Therefore, besure toreceive allkeys from vehicle owner.
Regarding theprocedures ofNATS initialisation andNATS
ignition key10registration, refertoCONSULT operation
