SIG-
NALSDescription Remarks
ENG SPEED [rpm]××

Indicates the engine speed computed from the
signals 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 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 correction.
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 (determined by
the signal voltage of the engine coolant temper-
ature 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 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.
HO2S1 MNTR (B1)
[RICH/LEAN]××

Display of heated oxygen sensor 1 signal dur-
ing air-fuel ratio feedback control:
RICH: means the mixture became “rich”, and
control is being affected toward a leaner mix-
ture.
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 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
certain value is indicated.
VHCL SPEED SE
[km/h] or [mph]××

The vehicle speed computed from the vehicle
speed signal is displayed.
BATTERY VOLT
[V]××

The power supply voltage of ECM is displayed.
ACCEL SEN 1 [V]××

The accelerator pedal position sensor signal
voltage is displayed.
ACCEL SEN 2 signal is converted
by ECM internally. Thus, it differs
from ECM terminal voltage signal. ACCEL SEN 2 [V]×
THRTL SEN 1 [V]××

The throttle position sensor signal voltage is
displayed.
THRTL SEN 2 signal is converted
by ECM internally. Thus, it differs
from ECM terminal voltage signal. THRTL SEN 2 [V]×
INT/A TEMP SE
[°C] or [°F]××

The intake air temperature (determined by the
signal voltage of the intake air temperature sen-
sor) is indicated.

START SIGNAL
[ON/OFF]××
Indicates start signal status [ON/OFF] com-
puted by the ECM according to the signals of
engine speed and battery voltage.
After starting the engine, [OFF] is
displayed regardless of the starter
signal.
CLSD THL POS
[ON/OFF]××

Indicates idle position [ON/OFF] computed by
ECM according to the accelerator pedal posi-
tion sensor signal.
AIR COND SIG
[ON/OFF]××

Indicates [ON/OFF] condition of the air condi-
tioner switch as determined by the air condi-
tioner signal.
P/N POSI SW
[ON/OFF]××

Indicates [ON/OFF] condition from the park/
neutral position (PNP) switch signal.
PW/ST SIGNAL
[ON/OFF]××

[ON/OFF] condition of the power steering pres-
sure sensor as determined by the power steer-
ing pressure sensor signal is indicated.
LOAD SIGNAL
[ON/OFF]××

Indicates [ON/OFF] condition from the electrical
load signal.
ON: Rear window defogger switch is ON and/or
lighting switch is in 2nd position.
OFF: Both rear window defogger switch and
lighting switch are OFF.

Indicates [ON/OFF] condition from ignition
switch.
HEATER FAN SW
[ON/OFF]×

Indicates [ON/OFF] condition from the heater
fan switch signal.

Indicates the actual fuel injection pulse width
compensated by ECM according to the input
signals.
When the engine is stopped, a
certain computed value is indi-
cated.
IGN TIMING
[BTDC]×

Indicates the ignition timing computed by ECM
according to the input signals.
When the engine is stopped, a
certain value is indicated.
PURG VOL C/V
