2. DTC CHECK (Normal Mode)
NOTICE:
If no DTC appears in normal mode:
On the OBD ll scan tool or the hand-held tester check
the pending fault code using the Continuous Test Re-
sults function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979).
When the diagnosis system is changed from normal
mode to check mode or vice-versa, all DTCs and
freeze frame data recorded in normal mode will be
erased. Before changing modes, always check and
make a note of DTCs and freeze frame data.
(a) Checking DTCs using the OBD II scan tool or hand-held
tester.
(1) Connect the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tes-
ter to DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) Use the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tester to
check the DTCs and freeze frame data and then
write them down.
For the hand-held tester, enter the following me-
nus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO
/ CURRENT CODEDS. For the OBD II scan tool,
see its instruction manual.
(4) See page DI-36 to confirm the details of the
DTCs.
NOTICE:
When simulating a symptom with the OBD II scan tool (ex-
cluding hand-held tester) to check the DTCs, use the nor-
mal mode. For DTCs chart subject to º2 trip detection log-
icº, perform either of the following actions.
Check the pending fault code:
For the hand-held tester, enter the following menus:
DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / PEND-
ING CODES.
Turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is
simulated once. Then repeat the simulation process
again. When the problem has been simulated twice,
the MIL comes on and the DTCs are recorded in the
ECM.

Check the pending fault code using the Continuous
Test Results function (Mode 7 for SAE J1979) on the
OBD II scan tool.
(b) Clearing the DTCs using the OBD II scan tool or the
hand-held tester.
(1) Connect the OBD II scan tool or the hand-held tes-
ter to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) Erase DTCs and freeze frame data with the OBD II
scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or the hand-
held tester. For the hand-held tester: 1) enter the
following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD
II / DTC INFO / CLEAR CODES; and 2) press YES.
For the OBD II scan tool, see its instruction manual.
(c) Clearing the DTCs not using the OBD II scan tool or the
hand-held tester.
Remove the EFI or ECD No. 1 and ETCS fuses from the
engine room J/B for more than 60 seconds, or disconnect
the battery terminal for more than 60 seconds.
After disconnecting the battery terminal, perform the ºINI-
TIALIZE procedure.
3. DTC CHECK (Check Mode)
HINT:
Hand-held tester only:
Check mode has a higher sensitivity to detect malfunctions and
can detect malfunctions that normal mode cannot detect.
Check mode can also detect all the malfunctions that normal
mode can detect.
(a) Follow these steps when preparing to use the hand-held
tester check mode.
(1) Make sure that the items below are true:
Battery positive voltage 11 V or more
Throttle valve fully closed
Transmission in the P or N position
A/C switched OFF
(2) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(3) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(4) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(5) Change the ECM to check mode with the hand-
held tester. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS
/ ENHANCED OBD II / CHECK MODE. Make sure
the MIL flashes as shown in the illustration.
NOTICE:
All DTCs and freeze frame data recorded will be erased if:
1) the hand-held tester is used to change the ECM from
normal mode to check mode or vice-versa; or 2) during
check mode, the ignition switch is turned from ON to ACC
or OFF.

(6) Start the engine. The MIL should turn off after the
engine starts.
(7) Simulate the conditions of the malfunction de-
scribed by the customer.
(8) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
hand-held tester diagnosis selector to check the
DTC, freeze frame data and other data.
(9) After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable cir-
cuit.
(b) Clearing DTCs using the OBD ll scan tool or the hand-
held tester.
(1) Connect the OBD ll scan tool or the hand-held tes-
ter to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) Erase DTCs and freeze frame data with the OBD II
scan tool (complying with SAE J1978) or the hand-
held tester. For the hand-held tester: 1) enter the
following menus: DIAGNOSIS ENHANCED OBD II
/ DTC INFO / CLEAR CODES; and 2) press YES.
For the OBD II scan tool, see its instruction manual.
(c) Clearing the DTCs without using the OBD ll scan tool or
the hand-held tester.
Remove the EFI or ECD No. 1 and ETCS fuses from the
engine room J/B for more than 60 seconds, or disconnect
the battery terminal for more than 60 seconds.
After disconnecting the battery terminal, perform the ºINI-
TIALIZEº procedure.

If the Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) has a mal-
function, the ECM cuts off current to the throttle control
motor. The throttle control valve returns to a predetermined
opening angle (approximately 16) by the force of the return
spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by control-
ling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition tim-
ing in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle
to enable the vehicle to continue at a minimal speed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly, the
vehicle can be driven slowly. If the accelerator pedal is
depressed quickly, the vehicle may speed up and slow
down erratically.
ºPassº condition is detected and then the ignition switch is
turned OFF.

The accelerator pedal position sensor has two (main and
sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction occurs in either of the
sensor circuits, the ECM detects the abnormal signal volt-
age difference between the two sensor circuits and
switches to limp mode. In limp mode, the remaining circuit
is used to calculate the accelerator pedal opening to allow
the vehicle to continue driving.
If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the opening
angle of the accelerator pedal to be fully closed. In this
case, the throttle valve will remain closed as if the engine is
idling.
ºPassº condition is detected and the ignition switch is turned
OFF.
5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
Hand-held tester only:
Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect when the ECM is
in check mode with hand-held tester. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which has a higher
sensitivity to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.
(a) Clear the DTCs. (See step 2)
(b) Set the check mode. (See step 3)
(c) Perform a simulation test (See page IN-26).
(d) Check the connector and terminal (See page IN-36).
(e) Wiggle the harness and connector (See page IN-36).

6. BASIC INSPECTION
When the malfunction is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be carried out in all the
possible circuits considered as causes of the problem. In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check
shown in the following flowchart, the location causing the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. There-
fore, using this check is essential in the engine troubleshooting.
1 Is battery positive voltage 11 V or more when engine stopped?
NO Charge or replace battery.
YES
2 Is engine cranked?
NO Proceed to page ST-16 and ST-18, and contin-
ue to troubleshoot.
YES
3 Does engine start?
NO Go to step 6.
YES
