from the REF signal (120É signal) of the
crankshaft position sensor (REF).
CKPS´RPM (POS)
[rpm]qIIndicates the engine speed computed
from the POS signal (1É signal) of the
crankshaft position sensor (POS).IAccuracy becomes poor if engine
speed drops below the idle rpm.
IIf the signal is interrupted while the
engine is running, an abnormal value
may be indicated.
POS COUNTqIIndicates the number of signal plate
(Flywheel/Drive Plate) cogs (tooth) dur-
ing one revolution of the engine.

sensor is displayed.IWhen the engine is stopped, a certain
value is indicated.
COOLAN TEMP/S
[ÉC] or [ÉF]qqIThe engine coolant temperature (deter-
mined by the signal voltage of the
engine coolant temperature sensor) is
displayed.IWhen the engine coolant temperature
sensor is open or short-circuited, ECM
enters fail-safe mode. The engine cool-
ant temperature determined by the

ªleanº, and control is being affected
toward a rich mixture.IAfter turning ON the ignition switch,
ªRICHº is displayed until air-fuel mixture
ratio feedback control begins.
IWhen the air-fuel ratio feedback is
clamped, the value just before the
clamping is displayed continuously. HO2S1 MNTR (B2)

Fail-safe Chart=NBEC0040The ECM enters fail-safe mode, if any of the following malfunctions is detected due to the open or short cir-
cuit. When the ECM enters the fail-safe mode, the MIL illuminates.
DTC No. Detected items Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode
P0100 Mass air flow sensor circuit Engine speed will not rise more than 2,400 rpm due to the fuel cut.
P0115 Engine coolant temperature
sensor circuitEngine coolant temperature will be determined by ECM based on the time after
turning ignition switch ªONº or ªSTARTº.
CONSULT-II displays the engine coolant temperature decided by ECM.
ConditionEngine coolant temperature decided
(CONSULT-II display)
Just as ignition switch is turned
ON or Start40ÉC (104ÉF)
More than approx. 4 minutes
after ignition ON or Start80ÉC (176ÉF)
Except as shown above40 - 80ÉC (104 - 176ÉF)
(Depends on the time)
P0120 Throttle position sensor cir-
cuitThrottle position will be determined based on the injected fuel amount and the
engine speed.
Therefore, acceleration will be poor.
Condition Driving condition
When engine is idling Normal
When accelerating Poor acceleration
P1335 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.
Unable to
access ECMECMECM fail-safe activating condition
The computing function of the ECM was judged to be malfunctioning.
When the fail-safe system activates (i.e., if the ECM detects a malfunction condi-
tion in the CPU of ECM), the MIL on the instrument panel lights to warn the driver.
However it is not possible to access ECM and DTC cannot be confirmed.
Engine control with fail-safe
When ECM fail-safe is operating, fuel injection, ignition timing, fuel pump operation,
IACV-AAC valve operation and cooling fan operation are controlled under certain
limitations.
ECM fail-safe operation
Engine speedEngine speed will not rise more than 3,000
rpm
Fuel injection Simultaneous multiport fuel injection system
Ignition timing Ignition timing is fixed at the preset valve
Fuel pumpFuel pump relay is ªONº when engine is running
and ªOFFº when engine stalls
IACV-AAC valve Full open
Replace ECM, if ECM fail-safe condition is confirmed.
