The computing function of the ECM was judged to be malfunctioning.
When the fail-safe system activates, i.e. if the ECM detects a malfunction condition in the CPU of
ECM, the MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP on the instrument panel lights to warn the driver.
However, it is not possible to access ECCS and DTC cannot be confirmed.
Engine control with ECM fail-safe
When the fail-safe system is operating, fuel injection, ignition timing, fuel pump operation and IACV-
AAC valve operation are controlled under certain limitations.
Replace ECM, if ECM fail-safe condition is confirmed.

CONSULT Reference Value in Data Monitor
Mode
Remarks:
lSpecification data are reference values.
lSpecification data are output/input values which are detected or supplied by the ECM at the connector.
* Specification data may not be directly related to their components signals/values/operations.
i.e. Adjust ignition timing with a timing light before monitoring IGN TIMING, because the monitor may show the specification data
in spite of the ignition timing not being adjusted to the specification data. This IGN TIMING monitors the data calculated by the
ECM according to the signals input from the camshaft position sensor and other ignition timing related sensors.
lIf the real-time diagnosis results are NG and the on board diagnostic system results are OK when diagnosing the mass air flow
sensor, first check to see if the fuel pump control circuit is normal.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Camshaft position sensorcEngine speed
ECM
(ECCS

cFuel
pump
relay
Ignition switchcStart signal
The ECM activates the fuel pump for several sec-
onds after the ignition switch is turned on to
improve engine startability. If the ECM receives a
180É signal from the camshaft position sensor, it
knows that the engine is rotating, and causes the
pump to operate. If the 180É signal is not received
when the ignition switch is on, the engine stalls.
The ECM stops pump operation and prevents bat-
tery discharging, thereby improving safety. The
ECM does not directly drive the fuel pump. It con-
trols the ON/OFF fuel pump relay, which in turn
controls the fuel pump.Condition Fuel pump operation
Ignition switch is turned to ON.Operates for
5 seconds.
Engine running and cranking Operates.
When engine is stopped Stops in 1 second.
Except as shown above. Stops.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump with a fuel damper is an in-tank type (the pump
and damper are located in the fuel tank).
