The emission-related diagnostic information can be erased by selecting ªERASEº in the ªSELF-DIAG
RESULTSº mode with CONSULT-II.
How to Erase DTC (
With GST)
1) If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least
9 seconds and then turn it ªONº (engine stopped) again.
2) Select Mode 4 with GST (Generic Scan Tool).
The emission-related diagnostic information can be erased by selecting Mode 4 with GST (Generic Scan Tool).
NOTE:
+If the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost after approx.
24 hours.
+Erasing the emission-related diagnostic information using CONSULT-II or GST is easier and
quicker than switching the mode using the data link connector.
+The 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) Distance traveled while MI is activated
8) Others
Actual work procedures are explained using a DTC as an example. Be careful so that not only the DTC, but
all of the data listed above, are cleared from the ECM memory during work procedures.
MODELS WITHOUT EURO-OBD SYSTEMNLEC0031S07DTC and 1st Trip DTCNLEC0031S0701The 1st trip DTC (whose number is the same as the DTC number) is displayed for the latest self-diagnostic
result obtained. If the ECM memory was cleared previously, and the 1st trip DTC did not reoccur, the 1st trip
DTC will not be displayed.
If a malfunction is detected during the 1st trip, the 1st trip DTC is stored in the ECM memory. If the same mal-
function is not detected in the 2nd trip (meeting the required driving pattern), the 1st trip DTC is cleared from
the ECM memory. If the same malfunction is detected in the 2nd trip, both the 1st trip DTC and DTC are stored
in the ECM memory. In other words, the DTC is stored in the ECM memory when the same malfunction occurs
in two consecutive trips. If a 1st trip DTC is stored and a non-diagnostic operation is performed between the
1st and 2nd trips, only the 1st trip DTC will continue to be stored. For fail-safe items, the DTC is stored in the
ECM memory even in the 1st trip.

Emission-related Diagnostic Information (Cont'd)
EC-70

Procedures for clearing the DTC and the 1st trip DTC from the ECM memory are described in ªHow to Erase
Emission-related Diagnostic Informationº, EC-71.
When a (1st trip) DTC is detected, check, print out or write down and erase (1st trip) DTC and Freeze Frame
data as specified in ªWork Flowº procedure Step II, refer to EC-97. Then perform ªDTC Confirmation Proce-
dureº or ªOverall Function Checkº to try to duplicate the problem. If the malfunction is duplicated, the item
requires repair.
How to Read DTC and 1st Trip DTC
DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
Without CONSULT-II
ECM displays the DTC by a set of four digit numbers with MI illumination in the diagnostic test mode II (Self-
diagnostic results). Example: 0100, 0115, 0340, 1335, etc.
With CONSULT-II
CONSULT-II displays the DTC in ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº mode. Examples: P0100, P0115, P0340, P1335,
etc.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
+1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.
+Output of a DTC indicates a malfunction. However, ECM in the diagnostic test mode II (Self-diag-
nostic results) does not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring or has occurred in the
past and has returned to normal. CONSULT-II can identify malfunction status as shown below.
Therefore, the use of CONSULT-II (if available) is recommended.
A sample CONSULT-II display for DTC and 1st trip DTC is shown below. DTC or 1st trip DTC of a malfunc-
tion is displayed in the SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS mode of CONSULT-II. Time data indicates how many
times the vehicle was driven after the last detection of a DTC.
If the DTC is being detected currently, the time data will be ª0º.
If a 1st trip DTC is stored in the ECM, the time data will be ª[1t]º.
SEF992X
Freeze Frame Data and 1st Trip Freeze Frame DataNLEC0031S0702The ECM records the driving conditions such as fuel system status, calculated load value, engine coolant
temperature, short term fuel trim, long term fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, throttle valve opening, base
fuel schedule and intake air temperature at the moment a malfunction is detected.
Data which are stored in the ECM memory, along with the 1st trip DTC, are called 1st trip freeze frame data.
The data, stored together with the DTC data, are called freeze frame data and displayed on CONSULT-II. For
details, see EC-85.
Only one set of freeze frame data (either 1st trip freeze frame data or freeze frame data) can be stored in the
ECM. 1st trip freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory along with the 1st trip DTC. There is no prior-
ity for 1st trip freeze frame data and it is updated each time a different 1st trip DTC is detected. However, once
freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory, 1st trip freeze frame data is no longer stored. Remember,
only one set of freeze frame data can be stored in the ECM.
If freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory and another freeze frame data occurs later, the first (origi-
nal) freeze frame data remains unchanged in the ECM memory.
Both 1st trip freeze frame data and freeze frame data (along with the DTCs) are cleared when the ECM
memory is erased. Procedures for clearing the ECM memory are described in ªHow to Erase Emission-related
Diagnostic Informationº, EC-71.

NLEC0033RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MI, 1ST TRIP DTC, DTC, AND DETECTABLE ITEMSNLEC0033S01+When 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.
+When the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive trips, the DTC and the freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory, and the MI will come on. For details, refer to ªTwo Trip Detection Logicº on
EC-59.
+The MI 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.
+The 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.
+The 1st trip DTC is not displayed when the self-diagnosis results in ªOKº for the 2nd trip.

NLEC0033S04Driving Pattern BNLEC0033S0401Driving pattern B means the vehicle operation as follows:
All components and systems should be monitored at least once by the OBD system.
+The B counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected once regardless of the driving pattern.
+The B counter will be counted up when driving pattern B is satisfied without any malfunction.
+The MI will go off when the B counter reaches 3. (*2 in EC-78)
Driving Pattern CNLEC0033S0402Driving 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)´(1±0.1) [%]
Engine coolant temperature (T) condition:
+When the freeze frame data shows lower than 70ÉC (158ÉF), ªTº should be lower than 70ÉC (158ÉF).
+When 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)
+The C counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected regardless of driving pattern C.
+The C counter will be counted up when driving pattern C is satisfied without the same malfunction.
+The DTC will not be displayed after C counter reaches 80.
+The 1st trip DTC will be cleared when C counter is counted once without the same malfunction after DTC
is stored in ECM.
