NALSDescription 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
injection pulse width programmed into
ECM, prior to any learned on board correc-
tion.
A/F ALPHA-B1 [%]×
The mean value of the air-fuel ratio feed-
back correction factor per cycle is indicated.
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-circuited,
ECM enters fail-safe mode. The
engine coolant temperature deter-
mined by the ECM is displayed.

[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.

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data MonitorABS00BZZ
Remarks:
Specification data are reference values.
Specification data are output/input values which are detected or supplied by the ECM at the connector.
* Specification data may not be directly related to their components signals/values/operations.
i.e. Adjust ignition timing with a timing light before monitoring IGN TIMING, because the monitor may show the specification data in
spite of the ignition timing not being adjusted to the specification data. This IGN TIMING monitors the data calculated by the ECM
according to the signals input from the camshaft position sensor and other ignition timing related sensors.
