“Fuel injection system status” at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
One mode in the following is displayed.
“Mode2”: Open loop due to detected system malfunction
“Mode3”: Open loop due to driving conditions (power enrichment, deceleration enleanment)
“Mode4”: Closed loop - using oxygen sensor(s) as feedback for fuel control
“Mode5”: Open loop - has not yet satisfied condition to go to closed loop FUEL SYS-B2

The engine coolant temperature at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
L-FUEL TRM-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. L-FUEL TRM-B2 [%]

“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. S-FUEL TRM-B2 [%]

SIGNALSMAIN
SIGNALSDescription Remarks
ENG SPEED [rpm]××
Indicates the engine speed computed from
the signal of the crankshaft position sensor
(POS) and camshaft position 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 sen-
sor is displayed.When the engine is stopped, a cer-
tain value is indicated.
B/FUEL SCHDL
[msec]×
Base fuel schedule indicates the fuel injec-
tion pulse width programmed into ECM,
prior to any learned on board correction.
A/F ALPHA-B1 [%]×
The mean value of the air-fuel ratio feed-
back correction factor per cycle is indi-
cated.When the engine is stopped, a cer-
tain value is indicated.
This data also includes the data for
the air-fuel ratio learning control. A/F ALPHA-B2 [%]×
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-
cuited, ECM enters fail-safe mode.
The engine coolant temperature
determined by the ECM is displayed.
HO2S1 (B1) [V]××
The signal voltage of the heated oxygen
sensor 1 is displayed.
HO2S1 (B2) [V]×
HO2S2 (B1) [V]×
The signal voltage of the heated oxygen
sensor 2 is displayed.
HO2S2 (B2) [V]×
HO2S1 MNTR (B1)
[RICH/LEAN]××
Display of heated oxygen sensor 1 signal
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 mix-
ture ratio feedback control begins.
When the air-fuel ratio feedback is
clamped, the value just before the
clamping is displayed continuously. HO2S1 MNTR (B2)
[RICH/LEAN]×
HO2S2 MNTR (B1)
[RICH/LEAN]×
Display of heated oxygen sensor 2 signal:
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 cer-
tain value is indicated.
HO2S2 MNTR (B2)

VHCL SPEED SE
[km/h] or [mph]××
The vehicle speed computed from the vehi-
cle speed signal sent from combination
meter is displayed.

The power supply voltage of ECM is dis-
played.
ACCEL SEN 1 [V]××
The accelerator pedal position sensor sig-
nal voltage is displayed.ACCEL SEN 2 signal is converted by
ECM internally. Thus, it differs from
ECM terminal voltage signal. ACCEL SEN 2 [V]×

The throttle position sensor signal voltage
is displayed.THRTL SEN 2 signal is converted by
ECM internally. Thus, it differs from
