NEW STANDARDS
#1 : Diagnostic trouble codes depend on the diagnostic test mode.
#2 : Controlled by the PCM
#3 : In some models, there is a fuel pump relay that controls pump speed. That relay is now called the fuel pump
relay (speed).
#4 : Device that controls engine and powertrain
#5 : Directly connected to exhaust manifold
#6 : Part name of diesel engine

Vehicle Adoption
4WD ATX model
•TCM has been adopted. Due to this the PCM terminal of ATX device has been replaced to TCM. The ATX
device information which is needed by the fuel and emission control systems is communicated to the PCM by
the controller area network (CAN).
Unleaded (RON 90 or above) model
•BARO sensor has been eliminated. Due to this the BARO factor for purge control has been eliminated.
