1-3 ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODES
(1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
(2) After disconnecting the battery cable from the battery (–) terminal for 10 seconds or more, reconnect
the cable.
(3) After the engine has warmed up, run it at idle for about 15 minutes.
1-4 FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION REFERENCE TABLE
When the main sensor malfunctions are detected by the diagnosis function, the vehicle is controlled
by means of the pre-set control logic to maintain safe conditions for driving.
Malfunctioning itemControl contents during malfunction
Air flow sensor (AFS)(1) Uses the throttle position sensor signal and engine speed signal (crank angle sensor
signal) to take reading of the basic injector drive time and basic ignition timing from
the pre-set mapping.
(2) Fixes the ISC servo in the appointed position so idle control is not performed.
Intake air temperature
sensorControls as if the intake air temperature is 25C.
Throttle position
sensor (TPS)No increase in fuel injection amount during acceleration due to the throttle position sensor
signal.
Engine coolant
temperature sensorControls as if the engine coolant temperature is 80C.
(This condition is maintained until the ignition switch is turned off even when the sensor signal
returns normal.)
Camshaft position
sensor(1) Injects fuel to all cylinders simultaneously for 4 seconds.
(However, after the ignition switch is turned to ON, the No. 1 cylinder top dead centre
is not detected at all.)
(2) Lets the fan motor (radiator and condensor) run at high speed.
Barometric pressure
sensorControls as if the barometric pressure is 101 kPa {760 mmHg}.
Detonation sensorSwitches the ignition timing from ignition timing for super petrol to ignition timing for standard
petrol.
Ignition coil, power
transistorCuts off the fuel supply to cylinders with an abnormal ignition.
Alternator FR terminalDoes not control the output of the alternator according to an electrical load. (works as a
normal alternator)
Misfire
(Evolution-V only)Cuts off the fuel to the misfiring cylinder if a misfire that could damage the catalyst is detected.
