DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The ECM contains a built±in self±diagnosis system by which
troubles with the engine signal network are detected and a Mal-
function Indicator Lamp on the instrument panel lights up.
By analyzing various signals as shown in a later table (See page
EG±388) the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects system mal-
functions relating to the sensors or actuators.
In the normal mode, the self±diagnosis system monitors 18
(California specification vehicles) or 17 (except for California and
Canadian specification) items, indicated by code No. as shown in
EG±388. A malfunction indicator lamp informs the driver that a
malfunction has been detected. The lamp goes off automatically
when the malfunction has been repaired, but the diagnostic
trouble code(s) remains stored in the ECM memory (except for
code Nos. 16 and 53). The ECM stores the code(s) until it is
cleared by removing the EFI No. 1 fuse with the ignition switch
OFF.
The diagnostic trouble code can be read by the number of blinks
of the malfunction indicator lamp when TE1 and E1 terminals on
the data link connector 1 or 2 are connected. When 2 or more
codes are indicated, the lowest number (code) will appear first.
In the test mode, 12 (California specification vehicles) or 11 (ex-
cept for California and Canadian specification vehicles) items, in-
dicated by code No. as shown in EG±388 are monitored. If a mal-
function is detected in any one of the systems indicated by code
Nos. 13, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 35, 41, 71 and 78 (California
specification vehicles) or 13, 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, 35, 41, 71 and 78
(except for California and Canadian specification vehicles) the
ECM lights the malfunction indicator lamp to warn the technician
that a malfunction has been detected. In this case, TE2 and E1
terminals on the data link connector 2 should be connected as
shown later. (See page EG±386).
In the test mode, even if the malfunction is corrected, the malfunc-
tion code is stored in the ECM memory even when the ignition
switch OFF (except code Nos. 43 and 51). This also applies in the
normal mode. The diagnostic trouble mode (normal or test) and
the output of the malfunction indicator lamp can be selected by
connecting the TE1, TE2 and E1 terminals on the data link con-
nector 2, as shown later.
A test mode function has been added to the functions of the self±
diagnosis system of the normal mode for the purpose of detecting
malfunctions such as poor contact, which are difficult to detect in
the normal mode. This function fills up the self±diagnosis system.
The test mode can be implemented by the technician following the
appropriate procedures of check terminal connection and opera-
tion described later. (See page EG±386) EG±384
± ENGINE2JZ±GE ENGINE TROUBLESHOOTING
Diagnosis Inspection (Test Mode)
Compared to the normal mode, the test mode has an in-
creased sensing ability to detect malfunctions.
It can also detect malfunctions in the starter signal circuit, the
IDL contact signal of the throttle position sensor, air condi-
tioning signal and park/neutral position switch signal.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected
in the normal mode can also be detected in the test mode.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
1. Initial conditions.
(a) Battery voltage 11 V or more
(b) Throttle valve fully closed
(c) Transmission in neutral position
(d) Air conditioning switched OFF
2. Turn ignition switch OFF
3. Using SST, connect terminals TE2 and E1 of the data link
connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
4. Turn ignition switch ON.
HINT:
wTo confirm that the test mode is operating, check that the
malfunction indicator lamp flashes when the ignition
switch is turned to ON.
wIf the malfunction indicator lamp does not flash, proceed
to troubleshooting of the TE2 terminal circuit on page
EG±484.
5. Start the engine.
6. Simulate the conditions of the malfunction described by the
customer.
7. After the road test, using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1
of the data link connector 2.
SST 09843±18020
8. Read the diagnostic trouble code on malfunction indicator
lamp on the telltale light RH (See page EG±385).
9. After completing the check, disconnect terminals TE1, TE2
and E1, and turn off the display.
HINT:
wThe test mode will not start if terminals TE2 and E1 are
connected after the ignition switch is turned ON.
wWhen the engine is not cranked, diagnostic trouble
codes º43º (Starter signal) output, but this is not
abnormal.
wWhen the automatic transmission shift lever is in the ºDº,
º2º, ºLº or ºRº shift position, or when the air conditioning
is on or when the accelerator pedal is depressed, code
º51º (Switch condition signal) is output, but this is not
abnormal. EG±386
