GENERAL
OUTLINE OF CHANGES
Due to the changes as shown below, the service procedures regarding the different description from
the previous version have been established.
DOn M/T, the engine-ECU has been changed as diagnosis code P1603 has been added.
DOn A/T, the engine-A/T-ECU has been changed as an on-board diagnosis system has been adopted.
The engine warning lamp control, the diagnosis function, the service data output and the actuator
test are basically the same as for M/T.
DOn A/T, an dual oxygen sensor has been adopted. This sensor is the same as for the previous
M/T.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE CLASSIFIED BY DIAGNOSIS CODE
Code No. P1603 Battery backup line malfunctionProbable cause
Range of Check
DStarting sequence was completed.
DThe battery voltage is 10 V or more.
Set Condition
DBattery backup line voltage is less than 2 V.DOpen or short circuit in the battery back-up line or
loose connector contact
DMalfunction of engine-ECU
DMalfunction of engine-A/T-ECU
NOTE: If the engine is started while the ignition-off
current draw connector has been pulled off, the
engine - ECU
judges that the battery backup line is open, and
illuminates the engine warning lamp and stores this
diagnosis code.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSIS CODE
Code No. 27 SC-ECU power supply system (abnormal
voltage drop)Probable cause
This diagnosis code will be set if the SC-ECU power supply voltage drops below
a certain level.DMalfunction of battery
DMalfunction of harness or connector
DMalfunction of the SC-ECU
Caution
If the system voltage drops during inspection, this code will be output to indicate a current problem.
And correct problem diagnosis will not be possible. Before carrying out the following procedure,
check the battery and recharge it if necessary.
