Passive and Active Diagnostic Tests
A passive test is a diagnostic test which simply monitors
a vehicle system or component. Conversely, an active
test, actually takes some sort of action when performing
diagnostic functions, often in response to a failed
passive test.
Intrusive Diagnostic Tests
This is any on-board test run by the Diagnostic
Management System which may have an effect on
vehicle performance or emission levels.
Warm-Up Cycle
A warm-up cycle means that engine at temperature
must reach a minimum of 70
C (160F) andrise at
least 22
C (40F) over the course of a trip.
The Diagnostic Executive
The Diagnostic Executive is a unique segment of
software which is designed to coordinate and prioritize
the diagnostic procedures as well as define the protocol
for recording and displaying their results. The main
responsibilities of the Diagnostic Executive are listed as
follows:
Commanding the MIL (“Check Engine" lamp) on and
off
DTC logging and clearing
Freeze Frame data for the first emission related DTC
recorded
Current status information on each diagnostic
The Diagnostic Executive records DTCs and turns on
the MIL when emission-related faults occur. It can also
turn off the MIL if the conditions cease which caused
the DTC to set.
Diagnostic Information
The diagnostic charts and functional checks are
designed to locate a faulty circuit or component through
a process of logical decisions. The charts are prepared
with the requirement that the vehicle functioned
correctly at the time of assembly and that there are no
t
multiple faults present.
There is a continuous self-diagnosis on certain control
functions. This diagnostic capability is complemented
by the diagnostic procedures contained in this manual.
The language of communicating the source of the
malfunction is a system of diagnostic trouble codes.
When a malfunction is detected by the control module,
a diagnostic trouble code is set and the MIL (“Check
Engine" lamp) is illuminated.
Check Engine Lamp (MIL)
The Check Engine Lamp (MIL) looks the same as the
MIL you are already familiar with (“Check Engine"
lamp).
Basically, the MIL is turned on when the ECM detects a
DTC that will impact the vehicle emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic
Executive. The MIL will be turned on if an
emissions-related diagnostic test indicates a
malfunction has occurred. It will stay on until the
system or component passes the same test, for three
consecutive trips, with no emissionsrelated faults.
Extinguishing the MIL
When the MIL is on, the Diagnostic Executive will turn
off the MIL after three consecutive trips that a “tes
t
passed" has been reported for the diagnostic test tha
t
originally caused the MIL to illuminate.
Although the MIL has been turned off, the DTC will
remain in the ECM memory (both Freeze Frame and
Failure Records) until forty(40) warm-up cycles after no
faults have been completed.
If the MIL was set by either a fuel trim or misfire-related
DTC, additional requirements must be met. In addition
to the requirements stated in the previous paragraph,
these requirements are as follows:
The diagnostic tests that are passed must occur with
375 RPM of the RPM data stored at the time the las
t
test failed.
Plus or minus ten (10) percent of the engine load tha
t
was stored at the time the last failed.
Similar engine temperature conditions (warmed up o
r
warming up ) as those stored at the time the last tes
t
failed.
Meeting these requirements ensures that the fault which
turned on the MIL has been corrected.
The MIL (“Check Engine" lamp) is on the instrumen
t
panel and has the following functions:
It informs the driver that a fault that affects vehicle
emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.
As a bulb and system check, the MIL will come “ON"
with the key “ON" and the engine not running. When
the engine is started, the MIL will turn “OFF."
When the MIL remains “ON" while the engine is
running, or when a malfunction is suspected due to a
driveability or emissions problem, a Powertrain
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check must be
performed. The procedures for these checks are
given in On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check.
These checks will expose faults which may not be
detected if other diagnostics are performed first.

Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
Important: Do not clear DTCs unless directed to do so
by the service information provided for each diagnostic
procedure. When DTCs are cleared, the Freeze Frame
and Failure Record data which may help diagnose an
intermittent fault will also be erased from memory.
If the fault that caused the DTC to be stored into
memory has been corrected, the Diagnostic Executive
will begin to count the “warm-up" cycles with no furthe
r
faults detected, the DTC will automatically be cleared
from the ECM memory.
To clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), use the
Tech 2 “clear DTCs" or “clear information" function.
When clearing DTCs follow instructions supplied by the
Tech 2 manufacturer.
When a Tech 2 is not available, DTCs can also be
cleared by disconnecting one of the following sources
for at least thirty (30) seconds.
To prevent system damage, the ignition key must be
“OFF" when disconnecting or reconnecting battery
power.
The power source to the control module. Examples:
fuse, pigtail at battery ECM connectors etc.
The negative battery cable. (Disconnecting the
negative battery cable will result in the loss of othe
r
on-board memory data, such as preset radio tuning).
On-Board Diagnosis (Self-Diagnosis)
1. The Engine Control Module (ECM) conducts a
self-test of most of the wiring and components in
the system each time the key is turned to ON, and
can detect faults in the system while the key is ON.
If a fault is detected, the ECM will store a trouble
code in memory and flash the CHECK ENGINE
indicator to alert the driver.
2. The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) can be
displayed by shorting together terminals and the
Data Link Connector (DLC) located belo
w
Instrument Panel of drivers side.
The CHECK ENGINE indicator will flash DTC 12
three times, followed by any DTC.If several DTC are
stored, each DTC will be displayed three times. The
DTC will be displayed in numerical order. The DTC
display will continue as long as the DLC is shorted.
Some DTC can cause other DTC to be stored, It is
important to diagnose and repair the lowes
t
numbered DTC first before going on to the highe
r
numbered DTC.

Diagnosis with TECH 2
If No Codes are Set
Refer to F1: Data Display and identify the electrical
faults that are not indicated by trouble code.
Refer to "SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS".
If Codes are Set
1. Record all trouble codes displayed by Tech 2 and
check id the codes are intermittent.
2. Clear the codes.
3. Drive the vehicle for a test to reproduce the faulty
status.
4. Check trouble codes again using the Tech 2.
5. If no codes is displayed by test driving, the fault is
intermittent. In this case, refer to "DIAGNOSIS
AIDS".
6. If a code is present, refer to DTC Chartfo
r
diagnosis.
7. Check trouble codes again using the Tech 2.

SERVICE PROGRAMMING SYSTEM (SPS)
The procedure to program the control unit by using the
Service Programming System (SPS) software
contained in TIS2000 is explained below.
NOTE:
If the Engine Control Module (ECM) was
programmed, the Immobilizer System must be
linked to the ECM: Refer to section 11
"Immobilizer System-ECM replacement" for the
ECM/Immobilizer linking procedure.
Should Tech2 display "SPS Procedure was not
successful", engine will not start, but no DTCs
are present, low battery voltage or poo
r
electrical connections should be the primary
suspects. Perform the SPS procedure again
after rectifying the fault/s.
IMPORTANT:
Perform the following checks before attempting to
program the control unit:
The Tech2 PCMCIA card is programmed with
the latest software release.
The latest release of TIS2000 is loaded on the
PC.
The vehicle battery is fully charged.
The control unit to be programmed is
connected to the vehicle.
1. Preparations of TIS 2000
1.
Connect Tech 2 to P/C.
2.
