CONSULT contains a lithium battery. When replacing the battery obey the following:
WARNING:
Replace the lithium battery with SANYO Electric Co., Ltd.,
CR2032 only. Use of another battery may
present
a risk of fire or explosion. The battery may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated.
Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.
Keep the battery out of reach of children and discard used battery conforming to the local regulations.

RELATION BETWEEN TROUBLE SYMPTOMS AND ENGINE MECHANICAUACCESSORIES
Malfunction of the gasoline engine will not occur when the three elements of combustion (compression
pressure, aidfuel mixture, and spark) are all normal. Though the
aidfuel mixture and the spark (ignition tim-
ing) are controlled by ECM
(.TCM) control unit, if the engine mechanical is malfunctioning,
a malfunction will
occur. (The table below shows universal cases. Some cases may not apply to the vehicle.)

SIGNAL VOLTAGES MEASURED WITH OSCILLOSCOPE AND CIRCUIT TESTER
- Signal voltages measured at ECM (-TCM) terminals (terminals for engine control) with a circuit tester and
example of waveforms displayed on an oscilloscope are shown below.
For signal terminals for A/T control, refer to "AIT Trouble Diagnosis" in AT section.
Measured data are affected by many factors such as irregularity of parts, vehicle history, operating
conditions, environment, service status, and measuring instruments and methods.
