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.

the following conditions is satisfied, and warns the driver by light-
ing up the malfunction indicator lamp in the combination meter.

Diagnostic test mode I1 - SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
0 This mode indicates the malfunctioning system(s) by the mal-
function indicator lamp blinking pattern (indicating the DTC).
0 When no malfunction is detected, DTC "55" is indicated.
Diagnostic test mode II - HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR
MONITOR
0 This mode indicates status of the aidfuel ratio by blinks of the
malfunction indicator lamp.
Warm up the engine and increase and maintain the engine
speed at 2,000 rpm. Check that the malfunction indicator lamp
blinks at least five times in
10 seconds.
During airlfuel ratio feedback control,
when heated oxygen sensor output is high (rich): MIL goes
OFF.
when heated oxygen sensor output is low (lean):
MIL comes
ON.
When aidfuel ratio feedback control is clamped: Status just
before clamp
is maintained.
When airifuel ratio feedback control is stopped: MIL goes OFF.

Some of the above ~elfaia~nostic test items can cause related malfunctions to be detected in M,
throttle control, and ABS seif-diagnosis when malfunction is detected. Therefore, malfunctions should
also be checked in self-diagnostic tests for systems other than engine.
CONDITIONS TO TURN OFF MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP
Vehicle speed sensor signal circuit: Correct the sensor signal, then drive the vehicle at 4 km/h or higher.
Overheat: Check
for causes of overheat, then erase self-diagnostic results.
Other items: Malfunction indicator lamp turns
OFF when the vehicle returned to normal condition.
HOW TO ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
In Diagnostic Test Mode II, with the engine stopped (ignition switch ON), connect terminals "CHK" and "IGFP
on the data link connector for
2 or more seconds with a suitable harness, then disconnect them.
