SRT Set Timing=NBEC0031S0311SRT is set as ªCMPLTº after self-diagnosis has been performed one or more times. Completion of SRT is done
regardless of whether the result is OK or NG. The set timing is different between OK and NG results and is
shown in the table below.

OK: Self-diagnosis is carried out and the result is OK.
NG: Self-diagnosis is carried out and the result is NG.
Ð: Self-diagnosis is not carried out.
When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results in a single cycle (Ignition OFF-ON-OFF), the SRT
will indicate ªCMPLTº.,Case 1 above
When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results through several different cycles, the SRT will indi-
cate ªCMPLTº at the time the respective self-diagnoses have at least one OK result.,Case 2 above
If one or more SRT related self-diagnoses showed NG results in 2 consecutive cycles, the SRT will also indi-
cate ªCMPLTº.,Case 3 above
The table above shows that the minimum number of cycles for setting SRT as ªINCMPº is one (1) for each
self-diagnosis (Case1&2)ortwo(2)foroneofself-diagnoses (Case 3). However, in preparation for the state
emissions inspection, it is unnecessary of each self-diagnosis to be executed twice (Case 3) for the following
reasons:
IThe SRT will indicate ªCMPLTº at the time the respective self-diagnoses have one (1) OK result.
IThe emissions inspection requires ªCMPLTº of the SRT only with OK self-diagnosis results.
IWhen, during SRT driving pattern, 1st trip DTC (NG) is detected prior to ªCMPLTº of SRT, the self-diag-
nosis memory must be erased from ECM after repair.
IIf the 1st trip DTC is erased, all the SRT will indicate ªINCMPº.
NOTE:
SRT can be set as ªCMPLTº together with the DTC(s). Therefore, DTC check must always be carried out prior
to the state emission inspection even though the SRT indicates ªCMPLTº.
SRT Service ProcedureNBEC0031S0312If a vehicle has failed the state emissions inspection due to one or more SRT items indicating ªINCMPº, review

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.

The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by selecting ªERASEº in the ªSELF-
DIAG RESULTSº mode with CONSULT-II.
How to Erase DTC (With GST)NBEC0031S0602NOTE:
If the DTC is not for A/T related items (see EC-8), skip step 2.
1. If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least
10 seconds and then turn it ªONº (engine stopped) again.
2. Perform ªSELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (Without CONSULT-II)º in AT section titled ªTROUBLE
DIAGNOSISº, ªSelf-diagnosisº. (The engine warm-up step can be skipped when performing the diagnosis
only to erase the DTC.)
3. Select Mode 4 with GST (Generic Scan Tool).
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by selecting Mode 4 with GST.
IIf the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost after approx.
24 hours.
IThe following data are cleared when the ECM memory is erased.
1) Diagnostic trouble codes
2) 1st trip diagnostic trouble codes
3) Freeze frame data
4) 1st trip freeze frame data
5) System readiness test (SRT) codes
6) Test values
7) Others

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.
