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.
1) Clear DTC and warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Increase vehicle speed to 50 mph, 80 km / h in 3rd gear or “2” range while observing vehicle speed displayed
on scan tool.
3) Release accelerator pedal and with engine brake applied, keep vehicle coasting (fuel cut condition) for 4 sec.
or more.
4) Check pending DTC and DTC.

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 and then ON.
2) Clear DTC and warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
3) Increase vehicle speed to 50 mph, 80 km / h in “2” range.
4) Release accelerator pedal and with engine brake applied, keep vehicle coasting (fuel cut condition) for 4 sec.
or more.
5) Stop vehicle and check DTC and pending DTC.

2Injector Circuit Check
1) Check injector circuit for short.
Is fuel injected from injector at ignition switch ON?“Y/B” wire shorted to
ground or faulty
injector.
If wire and injector is
as specified
respectively and then
substitute known-
good ECM (PCM) and
recheck.Go to Step 3.
3Injector Check
1) Check injector for fuel Injection referring to FUEL
INJECTOR ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION in
Section 6E1.
Is fuel injected from injector at engine cranking?Go to Step 4.Go to Step 5.
4Injector Leakage Check
1) Check injector for leaks referring to FUEL
INJECTOR ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION in
Section 6E1.
Is it in good condition?Injector and its circuit
are in good condition.Faulty fuel injector.
