How to Set SRT CodeNBEC0031S0302To set all SRT codes, self-diagnosis for the items indicated above must be performed one or more times. Each
diagnosis may require a long period of actual driving under various conditions.
With CONSULT-II
Perform corresponding DTC Confirmation Procedure one by one based on ªPerformance Priorityº in the table
on EC-62.
Without CONSULT-II
The most efficient driving pattern in which SRT codes can be properly set is explained on the next page. The
driving pattern should be performed one or more times to set all SRT codes.

IThe time required for each diagnosis varies with road surface conditions, weather, altitude, individual driv-
ing habits, etc.
Zone A refers to the range where the time required, for the diagnosis under normal conditions*, is the
shortest.
Zone B refers to the range where the diagnosis can still be performed if the diagnosis is not completed
within zone A.
*: Normal conditions refer to the following:
þ Sea level
þ Flat road
þ Ambient air temperature: 20 - 30ÉC (68 - 86ÉF)
þ Diagnosis is performed as quickly as possible under normal conditions.
Under different conditions [For example: ambient air temperature other than 20 - 30ÉC (68 - 86ÉF)], diag-
nosis may also be performed.
Pattern 1:
IThe engine is started at the engine coolant temperature of þ10 to 35ÉC (14 to 95ÉF)
(where the voltage between the ECM terminal 70 and ground is 3.0 - 4.3V).
IThe engine must be operated at idle speed until the engine coolant temperature is greater than 70ÉC
(158ÉF) (where the voltage between the ECM terminal 70 and ground is lower than 1.4V).
IThe engine is started at the fuel tank temperature of warmer than 0ÉC (32ÉF) (where the voltage
between the ECM terminal 92 and ground is less than 4.1V).
Pattern 2:
IWhen steady-state driving is performed again even after it is interrupted, each diagnosis can be conducted.
In this case, the time required for diagnosis may be extended.
Pattern 3:
IThe driving pattern outlined in *2 must be repeated at least 3 times.
Pattern 4:
ITests are performed after the engine has been operated for at least 17 minutes.
IThe accelerator pedal must be held very steady during steady-state driving.
IIf the accelerator pedal is moved, the test must be conducted all over again.
*1: Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h (56 MPH), then release the accelerator pedal
and keep it released for more than 10 seconds. Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h
(56 MPH) again.
*2: Operate the vehicle in the following driving pattern.
1) Decelerate vehicle to 0 km/h (0 MPH) and let engine idle.
2) Repeat driving pattern shown below at least 10 times.
IDuring acceleration, hold the accelerator pedal as steady as possible.
SEF414S
*3: Checking the vehicle speed with GST is advised.
Suggested Transmission Gear Position for A/T Models
Set the selector lever in the ªDº position with the overdrive switch turned ON.
Suggested upshift speeds for M/T models
Shown below are suggested vehicle speeds for shifting into a higher gear. These suggestions relate to fuel
economy and vehicle performance. Actual upshift speeds will vary according to road conditions, the weather
and individual driving habits.

Suggested Maximum Speed in Each Gear
Downshift to a lower gear if the engine is not running smoothly, or if you need to accelerate.
Do not exceed the maximum suggested speed (shown below) in any gear. For level road driving, use the
highest gear suggested for that speed. Always observe posted speed limits and drive according to the road
conditions to ensure safe operation. Do not over-rev the engine when shifting to a lower gear as it may cause
engine damage or loss of vehicle control.

TEST VALUE AND TEST LIMIT (GST ONLY Ð NOT APPLICABLE TO CONSULT-II)NBEC0031S04The following is the information specified in Mode 6 of SAE J1979.
The test value is a parameter used to determine whether a system/circuit diagnostic test is ªOKº or ªNGº while
being monitored by the ECM during self-diagnosis. The test limit is a reference value which is specified as the
maximum or minimum value and is compared with the test value being monitored.
Items for which these data (test value and test limit) are displayed are the same as SRT code items (30 test
items).
These data (test value and test limit) are specified by Test ID (TID) and Component ID (CID) and can be dis-
played on the GST screen.

MALFUNCTION
WARNINGThis is a usual driving condition. When a malfunction is
detected twice in two consecutive driving cycles (two trip
detection logic), the MIL will light up to inform the driver
that a malfunction has been detected.
The following malfunctions will light up or blink the MIL in
the 1st trip.
ICoolant overtemperature enrichment protection
IªMisfire (Possible three way catalyst damage)º
IªClosed loop controlº
IFail-safe mode
Diagnostic Test Mode I Ð Bulb CheckNBEC0032S03In this mode, the MIL on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains OFF, check the bulb. Refer to
EL-114, ªWARNING LAMPSº or see EC-648.
Diagnostic Test Mode I Ð Malfunction WarningNBEC0032S04
MIL Condition
ON When the malfunction is detected or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning.
OFF No malfunction.
OBD System Operation ChartNBEC0033RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, 1ST TRIP DTC, DTC, AND DETECTABLE ITEMSNBEC0033S01IWhen a malfunction is detected for the first time, the 1st trip DTC and the 1st trip freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory.
IWhen the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive trips, the DTC and the freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory, and the MIL will come on. For details, refer to ªTwo Trip Detection Logicº on
EC-59.
IThe MIL will go off after the vehicle is driven 3 times with no malfunction. The drive is counted only when
the recorded driving pattern is met (as stored in the ECM). If another malfunction occurs while counting,
the counter will reset.
IThe DTC and the freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 40 times (driving pattern A)
without the same malfunction recurring (except for Misfire and Fuel Injection System). For Misfire and Fuel
Injection System, the DTC and freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 80 times (driv-
ing pattern C) without the same malfunction recurring. The ªTIMEº in ªSELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTSº
mode of CONSULT-II will count the number of times the vehicle is driven.
IThe 1st trip DTC is not displayed when the self-diagnosis results in ªOKº for the 2nd trip.

EXPLANATION FOR DRIVING PATTERNS FOR ªMISFIRE DETERIORATION>º, ªFUEL INJECTION SYSTEMº
NBEC0033S04NBEC0033S0401Driving pattern B means the vehicle operation as follows:
All components and systems should be monitored at least once by the OBD system.
IThe B counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected once regardless of the driving pattern.
IThe B counter will be counted up when driving pattern B is satisfied without any malfunction.
IThe MIL will go off when the B counter reaches 3. (*2 in ªOBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHARTº)
NBEC0033S0402Driving pattern C means the vehicle operation as follows:
1) The following conditions should be satisfied at the same time:
Engine speed: (Engine speed in the freeze frame data)±375 rpm
Calculated load value: (Calculated load value in the freeze frame data) x (1±0.1) [%]
Engine coolant temperature (T) condition:
IWhen the freeze frame data shows lower than 70ÉC (158ÉF), ªTº should be lower than 70ÉC (158ÉF).
IWhen the freeze frame data shows higher than or equal to 70ÉC (158ÉF), ªTº should be higher than or
equal to 70ÉC (158ÉF).
Example:
If the stored freeze frame data is as follows:
Engine speed: 850 rpm, Calculated load value: 30%, Engine coolant temperature: 80ÉC (176ÉF)
To be satisfied with driving pattern C, the vehicle should run under the following conditions:
Engine speed: 475 - 1,225 rpm, Calculated load value: 27 - 33%, Engine coolant temperature: more than 70ÉC
(158ÉF)
IThe C counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of (1).
IThe C counter will be counted up when (1) is satisfied without the same malfunction.
IThe DTC will not be displayed after C counter reaches 80.
IThe 1st trip DTC will be cleared when C counter is counted once without the same malfunction after DTC
is stored in ECM.
