CANIST PURGE DUTY (EVAP CANISTER
PURGE FLOW DUTY, %)
This parameter indicates valve ON (valve open) time
rate within a certain set cycle of EVAP purge solenoid
valve which controls the amount of EVAP purge.
0% means that the purge valve is completely closed
while 100% is a fully open valve.
CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION (ON / OFF)
This parameter will read ON when throttle valve is ful-
ly closed, or OFF when the throttle is not fully closed.
FUEL CUT (ON / OFF)
ON : Fuel being cut (output signal to injector is
stopped)
OFF : Fuel not being cut
RAD FAN
(RADIATOR FAN CONTROL RELAY, ON / OFF)
ON : Command for radiator fan control relay opera-
tion being output.
OFF : Command for relay operation not being out-
put.
ELECTRIC LOAD (ON / OFF)
ON : Headlight, small light, heater fan or rear win-
dow defogger ON signal inputted.
OFF : Above electric loads all turned OFF.
A / C SWITCH (ON / OFF)
ON : Command for A / C operation being output
from ECM (PCM) to A / C amplifier.
OFF : Command for A / C operation not being output.
FUEL TANK LEVEL (%)
This parameter indicates approximate fuel level in the
fuel tank. As the detectable range of the fuel level sen-
sor is set as 0 to 100%, however, with some models
whose fuel tank capacity is smaller, the indicated fuel
level may be only 70% even when the fuel tank is full.
PSP SWITCH (ON / OFF)
ON : PSP switch detects P / S operation (high PS
pressure).
OFF : PSP switch not detects P / S operation.
BAROMETRIC PRESS (kPa, inHg)
This parameter represents a measurement of baro-
metric air pressure and is used for altitude correction
of the fuel injection quantity and ISC actuator control.
FUEL PUMP (ON / OFF)
ON is displayed when the ECM (or PCM) activates the
fuel pump via the fuel pump relay switch.
VSS (A / T) (km / h, MPH)
If is computed by using pulse signals from vehicle
(output) speed sensor on automatic transmission.
TRANS RANGE (TRANSMISSION RANGE
SENSOR, P, R, N, D, 2 OR L)
It is indicated transmission range detected by trans-
mission range sensor.
SHIFT SOL 1-CON (SHIFT SOLENOID-1,
ON / OFF)
ON : ON command being output to shift solenoid-1
OFF : ON command not being output.
SHIFT SOL 2-CON (SHIFT SOLENOID-2,
ON / OFF)
ON : ON command being output to shift solenoid-2
OFF : ON command not being output.
SHIFT SOL 1-MON (SHIFT SOLENOID-1,
ON / OFF)
The monitor result of the shift solenoid-1 circuit is dis-
played.
ON : Electricity being passed to shift solenoid-1 or
circuit open.
OFF : Electricity not being passed or circuit short.
SHIFT SOL 2-MON (SHIFT SOLENOID-2,
ON / OFF)
The monitor result of the shift solenoid-2 circuit is dis-
played.
ON : Electricity being passed to shift solenoid-2 or
circuit open.
OFF : Electricity not being passed or circuit short.
THROT POS LEVEL (THROTTLE POSITION
LEVEL FOR A / T, “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”
or “7”)
This parameter indicates which level (zone) the
throttle valve opening is in. The throttle opening is di-
vided into 8 levels (zones) from “0” (about idle posi-
tion) to “7” (about full open) and signals are assigned
to each opening level (zone). ECM (PCM) control the
automatic gear change of the automatic transmission
by using these signals according to the signal from
the TP sensor.
GEAR POSITION
This parameter indicates the A / T gear position which
is computed on signals from the Transmission Range
Switch, VSS, TP Sensor, and so forth.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF. Clear DTC with ignition switch ON, check vehicle and environmental condition for:
–Altitude (barometric pressure): 2400 m, 8000 ft or less (560 mmHg, 75 kPa or more)
–Ambient temp.: –10C, 14F or higher
–Intake air temp.: 70C, 158F or lower
–Engine coolant temp.: 70 – 11 0C, 158 – 230F
2) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
3) Increase vehicle speed to 30 – 40 mph, 50 – 60 km / h in 3rd gear or “D” range and hold throttle valve at that
opening position for 1 min.
4) Stop vehicle.
5) Check DTC in “DTC” mode and pending DTC in “ON BOARD TEST” or “PENDING DTC” mode.
