CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ECM (PCM) monitors crankshaft revolution speed and engine speed via the crankshaft position sensor and cylin-
der No. via the camshaft position sensor. Then it calculates the change in the crankshaft revolution speed and from
how many times such change occurred in every 200 or 1000 engine revolutions, it detects occurrence of misfire.
When ECM (PCM) detects a misfire (misfire rate per 200 revolutions) which can cause overheat and damage to
the three way catalytic converter, it makes the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) flash as long as misfire occurs at
that rate.
After that, however, when the misfire rate drops, MIL remains ON until it has been judged as normal 3 times under
the same driving conditions.
Also, when ECM (PCM) detects a misfire (misfire rate per 1000 revolutions) which will not cause damage to three
way catalytic converter but can cause exhaust emission to be deteriorated, it makes MIL light according to the 2
driving cycle detection logic.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Among different types of random misfire, if misfire occurs at cylinders 1 and 4 or cylinders 3 and 2 simulta-
neously, it may not possible to reconfirm DTC by using the following DTC confirmation procedure. When
diagnosing the trouble of DTC P0300 (Random misfire detected) of the engine which is apparently misfir-
ing, even if DTC P0300 cannot be reconfirmed by using the following DTC confirmation procedure, pro-
ceed to the following Diag. Flow Table.
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.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) Clear DTC with ignition switch ON.
3) Check vehicle and environmental condition for:
–Altitude (barometric pressure): 2400 m, 8000 ft or less (560 mmHg, 75 kPa or more)
–Intake air temp.: between –10C and 80C (14F and 176F)
–Engine coolant temp.: –10C, 14F or higher
4) Start engine and keep it at idle for 2 min. or more.
5) Check DTC in “DTC” mode and pending DTC in “ON BOARD TEST” or “PENDING DTC” mode.
6) If DTC is not detected at idle, consult usual driving based on information obtained in “Customer complaint analy-
sis” and “Freeze frame data check”.

6A-20 ENGINE MECHANICAL (G10, 1-CAM 6-VALVES ENGINE)
CAUTION:
Don’t turn camshaft or start engine (i.e., valves should not be operated) for about half an hour after
reinstalling hydraulic valve lash adjusters and camshaft. As it takes time for valves to settle in place,
operating engine within half an hour after their installation may cause interference to occur between
valves and piston.
If air is trapped in valve lash adjuster, valve may make tapping sound when engine is operated after
valve lash adjuster is installed. In such a case, run engine for about half an hour at about 2,000 – 3,000
r / min., and then air will be purged and tapping sound will cease. Should tapping should not cease,
it is possible that valve lash adjuster is defective. Replace it if defective.
If defective adjuster can’t be located by hearing among 6 of them, check as follows.
1) Stop engine and remove cylinder head cover.
2) Push adjuster downward by hand (with less than 15 kg or 33 lbs force) when cam crest is not on
adjuster to be checked and check if clearance exists between cam and adjuster. If it does, adjuster
is defective and needs replacement.
VALVE LASH ADJUSTER NOISE DIAGNOSIS
In case of the followings, valve lash adjuster noise may be caused by air trapped into valve lash adjusters.
Vehicle is left for 24 hours or more.
Engine oil is changed.
Hydraulic lash adjuster is replaced or reinstalled.
Engine is overhauled.
If noise from valve lash adjusters is suspected, perform the following checks.
1) Check engine oil for the followings.
Oil level in oil pan
If oil level is low, add oil up to Full level hole on oil level gauge.
Oil quality
If oil is discolored, or deteriorated, change it.
For particular oil to be used, refer to Section 0B.
Oil leaks
If leak is found, repair it.
Oil pressure (refer to Oil Pressure Check in this section)
If defective pressure is found, repair it.
2) Run engine for about half an hour at about 2,000 to 3,000 r / min., and then air will be purge and tapping sound
will cease.
3) Should tapping sound not cease, it is possible that hydraulic valve lash adjuster is defective.
Replace it if defective.
If defective adjuster can’t be located by hearing among 16 of them, check as follows.
a) Stop engine and remove cylinder head cover.
b) Push adjuster downward by hand (with less than 20 kg or 44 lbs. Force) when cam crest is not on adjuster
to be check if clearance exists between cam and adjuster.
If it does, adjuster is defective and needs replacement.

EVAP CANISTER PURGE INSPECTION
NOTE:
Before inspection, check to make sure that gear shift lever is
in neutral position (with A / T model, selector lever in “P” range)
and that parking brake lever is pulled all the way up.
1) Disconnect purge hose from EVAP canister.
2) Place finger against the end of disconnected hose and check
that vacuum is not felt there when engine is cool and running at
idle speed.
3) Connect purge hose to EVAP canister and warm up engine to
normal operating temperature.
4) Disconnect purge hose from EVAP canister.
5) Also check that vacuum is felt when engine is running at idle
speed.
NOTE:
The EVAP canister purge system does not perform purging
(vacuum is not detected at the purge hose) unless the en-
gine is sufficiently warmed up and the heated oxygen sen-
sor is activated fully. Also, when the purge hose is discon-
nected in Step 4), the air is drawn into the purge line. As a
result, ECM detects a change in the purge gas concentra-
tion and sometimes stops purging but this indicates noth-
ing abnormal.
If check result is not satisfactory, check vacuum passage, hoses,
EVAP canister purge valve, wire harness and ECM.
VACUUM PASSAGE INSPECTION
Start engine end run it at idle speed. Disconnect vacuum hose from
EVAP canister purge valve. With finger placed against hose discon-
nected, check that vacuum is applied.
If it is not applied, clean vacuum passage by blowing compressed
air.
VACUUM HOSE INSPECTION
Check hoses for connection, leakage, clog and deterioration. Re-
place as necessary.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (SFI FOR G13) 6E2-37
1) Disconnect purge hose (1) from EVAP canister.
2) Place finger against the end of disconnected hose and check
that vacuum is not felt there when engine is cool and running at
idle speed.
3) Connect purge hose to EVAP canister and warm up engine to
normal operating temperature.
4) Disconnect purge hose from EVAP canister.
5) Also check that vacuum is felt when engine is running at idle
speed.
NOTE:
The EVAP canister purge system does not perform purging
(vacuum is not detected at the purge hose) unless the en-
gine is sufficiently warmed up and the heated oxygen sen-
sor is activated fully. Also, when the purge hose is discon-
nected in Step 4), the air is drawn into the purge line. As a
result, ECM (PCM) detects a change in the purge gas con-
centration and sometimes stops purging but this indicates
nothing abnormal.
If check result is not satisfactory, check vacuum passage, hoses,
EVAP canister purge valve, wire harness and ECM (PCM).
Vacuum Passage Inspection
Start engine and run it at idle speed. Disconnect vacuum hose (1)
from EVAP canister purge valve (2). With finger placed against
hose disconnected, check that vacuum is applied.
If it is not applied, clean vacuum passage by blowing compressed
air.
Vacuum Hose Inspection
Check hoses for connection, leakage, clog and deterioration. Re-
place as necessary.
EVAP Canister Purge Valve Inspection
Check EVAP canister purge valve referring to step 1 of DTC P0443
Flow Table.
If found malfunction, replace.

Ignition signal
With the diagnosis switch terminal of monitor coupler for ECM not
grounded, the ignition switch turned ON (but the engine at stop) and
regardless of the condition of the engine and emission control sys-
tem, ECM indicates whether a trouble has occurred in the immobi-
lizer control system or not by causing the malfunction indicator lamp
to flash or turn ON.
Malfunction indicator lamp is ON:
No trouble exists in the immobilizer control system.
Malfunction indicator lamp is flashing:
ECM or Immobilizer Control Module has detected some trouble in
the immobilizer control system.
NOTE:
As soon as the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM and Immobi-
lizer Control Module diagnose if a trouble has occurred in the
immobilizer control system. While the diagnosis is being
made, the malfunction indicator lamp stays ON and if the diag-
nosis result is “abnormal”, it immediately changes to flashing
but if the result is “normal”, it remains ON. Diagnosis takes
about 3 seconds at maximum.

ECM indicates whether a trouble has occurred in the immobilizer
control system or not by causing the immobilizer indicator lamp to
flash or turn ON.
Immobilizer indicator lamp is ON:
No trouble exists in the immobilizer control system.
Immobilizer indicator lamp is flashing:
ECM or Immobilizer Control Module has detected some trouble in

When ECM and Immobilizer Control Module detects a trouble, it
stores DTC corresponding to the exact trouble area in ECM and Im-
mobilizer Control Module memory.
DTCs stored in memory of each controller (Immobilizer Control
Module and ECM) can be read by using the procedure described
in “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK (IMMOBILIZER CON-
TROL MODULE)” and “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
(ECM)” in this section.
