On Board Diagnosis LogicNBEC0576Malfunction is detected when
(Malfunction A)120É signal is not entered to ECM for the first few
seconds during engine cranking,
(Malfunction B)120É signal is not entered to ECM during engine
running,
(Malfunction C)120É signal cycle excessively changes during
engine running.
FAIL-SAFE MODENBEC0576S01When the ECM enters the fail-safe mode, the MIL illuminates.
Detected items Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode
Crankshaft position sensor (REF)
circuitCompression TDC signal (120É signal) is controlled by camshaft position sensor (PHASE)
signal and crankshaft position sensor (POS) signal. Ignition timing will be delayed 0É to 2É.
Possible CauseNBEC0577IHarness or connectors
(The crankshaft position sensor (REF) circuit is open or
shorted.)

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBEC0578NOTE:
IPerform ªPROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION Aº first. If 1st
trip DTC cannot be confirmed, perform ªPROCEDURE
FOR MALFUNCTION B AND Cº.
IIf ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously
conducted, always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least
10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that bat-
tery voltage is more than 10.5V at idle.
SEF013Y
PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION ANBEC0578S01With CONSULT-IINBEC0578S01011) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2) Select ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II.
3) Crank engine for at least 2 seconds.
4) If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº,
EC-514.

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBEC0317CAUTION:
Never remove fuel filler cap during the DTC confirmation pro-
cedure.
NOTE:
IIf DTC P1441 is displayed with P0440, perform TROUBLE
DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC P1441 first.
IIf ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PRO-
CEDUREº has been previously conducted, always turn
ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 5 seconds before
conducting the next test.
IAfter repair, make sure that the hoses and clips are
installed properly.
TESTING CONDITION:
IOpen engine hood before conducting following proce-
dure.
IIf any of following condition is met just before the DTC
confirmation procedure, leave the vehicle for more than 1
hour.
a)Fuel filler cap is removed.
b)Refilled or drained the fuel.
c)EVAP component parts is/are removed.
IBefore performing the following procedure, confirm that
battery voltage is more than 11V at idle.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ªONº and select ªDATA MONITORº mode
with CONSULT-II.
2) Make sure the following conditions are met.
FUEL LEVEL SE: 1.08 - 0.2V
COOLAN TEMP/S: 0 - 32ÉC (32 - 90ÉF)
FUEL T/TMP SE: 0 - 35ÉC (32 - 95ÉF)
