ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE) 6-1-27
Scan tool data definitions
COOLANT TEMP (Engine Coolant Temp., °C/°F)
It is detected by engine coolant temp. sensor.
INTAKE AIR TEMP (°C/°F)
It is detected by intake air temp. sensor.
DESIRE IDLE (Desired Idle Speed RPM)
The desired idle speed is an ECM (PCM) internal parameter which indicates the ECM (PCM) requested idle. If
the engine is not running, the number is not valid.
CLOSED THROT POS (Closed Throttle Position ON/OFF)
This parameter will read ON when the throttle valve is fully closed. Or OFF when the throttle is not fully closed.
IAC FLOW DUTY (%)
This parameter indicates IAC valve opening rate which controls bypass air flow.
ENGINE SPEED (RPM)
It is computed by reference pulses from the Camshaft Position Sensor.
SHORT FT B1 (Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 1, %) / SHORT FT B2 (Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 2, %)
Short term fuel trim value represents short term corrections to the air/fuel mixture computation. A value of 0 indi-
cates no correction, a value greater than 0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 implies an
enleanment correction.
LONG FT B1 (Long Term Fuel Trim Bank 1, %) / LONG FT B2 (Long Term Fuel Trim Bank 2, %)
Long term fuel trim value represents long term corrections to the air/fuel mixture computation. A value of 0 indi-
cates no correction, a value greater than 0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 implies an
enleanment correction.
IGNITION ADVANCE (Ignition Timing Advance For No.1 Cylinder, °)
Ignition timing of No.1 cylinder is commanded by ECM (PCM). The actual ignition timing should be checked by
using the timing light.
BATTERY VOLTAGE (V)
This parameter indicates battery positive voltage inputted from main relay to ECM (PCM).
MAF (Mass Air Flow Rate, g/s, lb/min)
It represents total mass of air entering intake manifold which is measured by mass air flow sensor.
INJ PULSE WIDTH B1 (Fuel Injection Pulse Width Bank 1, msec) / INJ PULSE WIDTH B2 (Fuel Injec-
tion Pulse Width Bank 2, msec)
This parameter indicates time of the injector drive (valve opening) pulse which is output from ECM (PCM).
THROTTLE POS (Absolute Throttle Position, %)
When throttle position sensor is fully closed position, throttle opening is indicated as 0 % and 100 % for full open
position.

Inspection of PCM (ECM) and its Circuits
PCM (ECM) and its circuits can be checked at PCM (ECM) wiring
couplers by measuring voltage and resistance.
VOLTAGE CHECK
1) Remove PCM (ECM) cover from bracket referring to PCM
(ECM) REMOVAL.
2) Check voltage at each terminal of couplers connected.CAUTION:
PCM/ECM cannot be checked by itself. It is strictly pro-
hibited to connect voltmeter or ohmmeter to PCM (ECM)
with couplers disconnected from it.
NOTE:
As each terminal voltage is affected by the battery volt-
age, confirm that it is 11 V or more when ignition switch
is ON.

2. PCM (ECM) connector (Viewed from harness side)

6-1-42 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE)
RESISTANCE CHECK
1) Disconnect couplers (1) from ECM/PCM with ignition switch
OFF.
2) Check resistance between each pair of terminals of discon-
nected couplers (1) as listed in following table. CAUTION:
Never touch terminals of ECM/PCM itself or connect volt-
meter or ohmmeter (2).
CAUTION:
Be sure to connect ohmmeter (2) probe from wire har-
ness side of coupler.
Be sure to turn OFF ignition switch for this check.
Resistance in table represents that when parts temper-
ature is 20°C (68°F).

Table A-1 Malfunction Indicator Lamp Circuit Check – Lamp Does Not Come
“ON” or Dims at Ignition Switch ON (But Engine at Stop)
WIRING DIAGRAM
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM causes the main relay to turn ON (close the contact point). Then,
ECM being supplied with the main power, turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the engine
starts to run and no malfunction is detected in the system, MIL goes OFF but if a malfunction was or is detected,
MIL remains ON even when the engine is running.
INSPECTION
1. MIL
2. To ignition switch
3. Main fuse
4. Main relay
5. ECM (PCM)
6. Monitor connector (if equipped)
Step Action Yes No
1 MIL power supply check :
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
Do other indicator/warning lights in combination
meter comes ON?Go to Step 2. “IG METER” fuse blown,
main fuse blown, Ignition
switch malfunction, “BLK/

METER” fuse and combi-
nation meter or poor cou-
pler connection at
combination meter.
