+On models equipped with air conditioner, checks should
be carried out while the air conditioner is ªOFFº.
+When measuring ªCOº percentage, insert probe more
than 40 cm (15.7 in) into tail pipe.
+Turn off headlamps, heater blower, rear window defogger.
+On vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, set
lighting switch to the 1st position to light only small
lamps.
+Keep front wheels pointed straight ahead.
+If engine stops immediately after starting or idle condition
is unstable, perform the following to initialize IACV-AAC
valve:
a)Stop engine and wait 9 seconds.
b)Turn ignition ªONº and wait 1 second.
c)Turn ignition ªOFFº and wait 9 seconds.
+Make sure the cooling fan has stopped.

On Board Diagnosis LogicNLEC0202When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates enough to cause the CKP
sensor signal to vary, the ECM can determine that a misfire is occurring.
Sensor Input Signal to ECM ECM function
Crankshaft position sensor (POS) Engine speed On board diagnosis of misfire
The misfire detection logic consists of the following two conditions.
1. One Trip Detection Logic (Three Way Catalyst Damage)
On the first trip that a misfire condition occurs that can damage the three way catalyst (TWC) due to
overheating, the MI will blink.
When a misfire condition occurs, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor signal every 200 engine revolutions
for a change.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MI will turn off.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC on a second trip, the MI will blink.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MI will remain on.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC, the MI will begin to blink again.
2. Two Trip Detection Logic (Exhaust quality deterioration)
For misfire conditions that will not damage the TWC (but will affect vehicle emissions), the MI will only light
when the misfire is detected on a second trip. During this condition, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor
signal every 1,000 engine revolutions.
A misfire malfunction can be detected on any one cylinder or on multiple cylinders.

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNLEC0203CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously conducted,
always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds
before conducting the next test.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ªONº, and select ªDATA MONITORº mode
with CONSULT-II.
2) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
