DIAG TROUBLE
CODE
[PXXXX]
●The engine control component part/control system has a trouble code, it is displayed as “PXXXX”. (Refer
to EC-406, "
INDEX FOR DTC" .)
FUEL SYS-B1
●“Fuel injection system status” at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
●One mode in the following is displayed.
“MODE 2”: Open loop due to detected system malfunction
“MODE 3”: Open loop due to driving conditions (power enrichment, deceleration enrichment)
“MODE 4”: Closed loop - using oxygen sensor(s) as feedback for fuel control
“MODE 5”: Open loop - has not yet satisfied condition to go to closed loop
CAL/LD VALUE [%]
●The calculated load value at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
COOLANT TEMP [°C]
or [°F]
●The engine coolant temperature at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
L-FUEL TRIM-B1 [%]
●“Long-term fuel trim” at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
●The long-term fuel trim indicates much more gradual feedback compensation to the base fuel schedule
than short-term fuel trim.
S-FUEL TRIM-B1 [%]
●“Short-term fuel trim” at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
●The short-term fuel trim indicates dynamic or instantaneous feedback compensation to the base fuel
schedule.

ENG SPEED [rpm]××
●Indicates the engine speed computed
from the signals of the crankshaft posi-
tion sensor (POS) and camshaft posi-
tion sensor (PHASE).●Accuracy becomes poor if engine
speed drops below the idle rpm.
●If the signal is interrupted while the
engine is running, an abnormal
value may be indicated.
MAS A/F SE-B1 [V]××
●The signal voltage of the mass air flow
sensor is displayed.●When the engine is stopped, a
certain value is indicated.
B/FUEL SCHDL
[msec]×
●“Base fuel schedule” indicates the fuel
injection pulse width programmed into
ECM, prior to any learned on board cor-
rection.
A/F ALPHA-B1 [%]×
●The mean value of the air-fuel ratio
feedback correction factor per cycle is
indicated.
●When the engine is stopped, a
certain value is indicated.
●This data also includes the data
for the air-fuel ratio learning con-
trol.
COOLAN TEMP/S
[°C] or [°F]××
●The engine coolant temperature (deter-
mined by the signal voltage of the
engine coolant temperature sensor) is
displayed.
●When the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor is open or short-cir-
cuit, ECM enters fail-safe mode.
The engine coolant temperature
determined by the ECM is dis-
played.
HO2S1 (B1) [V]××
●The signal voltage of the heated oxygen
sensor 1 is displayed.
HO2S2 (B1) [V]×
●The signal voltage of the heated oxygen
sensor 2 is displayed.

[RICH/LEAN]××
●Display of heated oxygen sensor 1 sig-
nal during air-fuel ratio feedback control:
RICH ... means the mixture became
“rich”, and control is being affected
toward a leaner mixture.
LEAN ... means the mixture became
“lean”, and control is being affected
toward a rich mixture.●After turning ON the ignition
switch, “RICH” is displayed until
air-fuel mixture ratio feedback
control begins.
●When the air-fuel ratio feedback is
clamped, the value just before the
clamping is displayed continu-
ously.
HO2S2 MNTR (B1)
[RICH/LEAN]×
●Display of heated oxygen sensor 2 sig-
nal:
RICH ... means the amount of oxygen
after three way catalyst is relatively
small.
LEAN ... means the amount of oxygen
after three way catalyst is relatively
large.
●When the engine is stopped, a
certain value is indicated.
