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±494) the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects system mal-
functions relating to the sensors or actuators.
In the normal mode, the self±diagnosis system monitors 19 items,
indicated by code No. as shown in EG±494. A malfunction indica-
tor 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, 13 items, indicated by code No. as shown in
EG±494 are monitored. If a malfunction is detected in any one of
the systems indicated by code Nos. 13, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 35,
41, 47, 71 and 78 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±492).
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). The 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±492) EG±490
