Work supportThis mode enables a technician to adjust some devices faster and more accurately by following the
indications on the CONSULT-II unit.
Self-diagnostic resultsSelf-diagnostic results such as 1st trip DTC, DTCs and 1st trip freeze frame data or freeze frame data
can be read and erased quickly.*1
Data monitor Input/Output data in the ECM can be read.
Data monitor (SPEC)Input/Output of the specification for Basic fuel schedule, AFM, A/F feedback control value and the
other data monitor items can be read.
Active testDiagnostic Test Mode in which CONSULT-II drives some actuators apart from the ECMs and also
shifts some parameters in a specified range.
DTC & SRT confirmation The status of system monitoring tests and the self-diagnosis status/result can be confirmed.
Function test This mode is used to inform customers when their vehicle condition requires periodic maintenance.

DIAG TROUBLE
CODE
[PXXXX]
lThe engine control component part/control system has a trouble code, it is displayed as “PXXXX”. (Refer
toEC-12, "
INDEX FOR DTC".)
FUEL SYS-B1
l“Fuel injection system status” at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
lOne 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 [%]
lThe calculated load value at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
COOLANT TEMP [°C]
or [°F]
lThe engine coolant temperature at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
S-FUEL TRIM-B1 [%]
l“Short-term fuel trim” at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
lThe short-term fuel trim indicates dynamic or instantaneous feedback compensation to the base fuel
schedule.
L-FUEL TRIM-B1 [%]
l“Long-term fuel trim” at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
lThe long-term fuel trim indicates much more gradual feedback compensation to the base fuel schedule
than short-term fuel trim.
ENGINE SPEED
[rpm]
lThe engine speed at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
VHCL SPEED [km/h]
or [mph]
lThe vehicle speed at the moment a malfunction is detected is displayed.
B/FUEL SCHDL
