IIECMECM 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
condition in the CPU of ECM), the MI 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 and IACV-AAC valve operation are controlled under certain limita-
tions.
ECM fail-safe operation
Engine speedEngine speed will not rise more than
3,000 rpm
Fuel injectionSimultaneous multiport fuel injection sys-
tem
Ignition timing Ignition timing is fixed at the preset value
Fuel pumpFuel pump relay is ªONº when engine is
running and ªOFFº when engine stalls
IACV-AAC valve Full open
Cooling fansCooling fan relay ªONº (High speed condi-
tion) when engine is running, and ªOFFº
when engine stalls.
Replace ECM, if ECM fail-safe condition is confirmed.

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor
Mode
NJEC0042Remarks:
+Specification data are reference values.
+Specification data are output/input values which are detected or supplied by the ECM at the connector.
* Specification data may not be directly related to their components signals/values/operations.
(i.e., Adjust ignition timing with a timing light before monitoring IGN TIMING. Specification data might be displayed even when igni-
tion timing is not adjusted to specification. This IGN TIMING monitors the data calculated by the ECM according to the input signals
from the crankshaft position sensor and other ignition timing related sensors.)
+If the real-time diagnosis results are NG, and the on board diagnostic system results are OK, when diagnosing the mass air flow sensor,
first check to see if the fuel pump control circuit is normal.
