ON–BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (EOBD) SYSTEM CHECK
(1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) system check is the
starting point for any driveability complaint diagnosis. Be-
fore using this procedure, perform a careful visual/physi-
cal check of the engine control module (ECM) and the en-
gine grounds for cleanliness and tightness.
The EOBD system check is an organized approach to
identifying a problem created by an electronic engine con-
trol system malfunction.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed–through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the
insulation. Check for poor connections or a damaged har-
ness. Inspect the ECM harness and connections for im-
proper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or dam-
aged terminals, poor terminal–to–wire connection, and
damaged harness.Test Description
Numbers below refer to the step number on the Diagnostic
Chart:
1. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) should be
ON steady with the ignition ON and the engine
OFF. If not, go to ”Diagnostic Aids”.
2. Checks the Class 2 data circuit and ensures that
the ECM is able to transmit serial data.
3. This test ensures that the ECM is capable of con-
trolling the MIL and the MIL driver circuit is not
shorted to ground.
4. If the engine will not start, refer to ”Engine Cranks
But Will Not Run” in this section.
7. A scan tool parameter which is not within the typical
range may help to isolate the area which is causing
the problem.
10. This vehicle is equipped with a ECM which utilizes
an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory (EEPROM). The replacement ECM must
be programmed. Refer to the latest Techline proce-
dure for ECM reprogramming.

ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT RUN (1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-
cords data on the scan tool if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the occurred. The information is then stored on the
scan tool for later reference.
2. By performing a compression test, it can be deter-
mined if the engine has the mechanical ability to
run.
3. It is important to check for the presence of sparkfrom all of the ignition wires. If spark is present from
one to three of the ignition coil terminals, the Crank-
shaft Position (CKP) sensor is OK.
19. In checking the engine control module (ECM) out-
puts for the electronic spark timing signal, it recom-
mended to use an oscilloscope to view the varying
voltage signals. In measuring these outputs with a
voltmeter, intermittent errors may occur that cannot
be seen by a voltmeter.
35. This step checks for proper operation of the ECM’s
control of the fuel pump circuit.
59. This step checks for a ground signal being supplied
by the ECM to operate the fuel injectors. If there is
no ground present during the cranking of the en-
gine, and the fuel injector wiring is OK, the ECM is
at fault.
