How to Erase DTC (Without CONSULT-II)
1. If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least5 seconds and then turn it ªONº (engine stopped) again.
2. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by using the data link connector. (See EC-346.)
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by changing the diagnostic test mode.
I If the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost after approx.
24 hours.
I Erasing the emission-related diagnostic information using CONSULT-II is easier and quicker than
switching the diagnostic test mode using the data link connector.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
1. The malfunction indicator will light up when the ignition switch
is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
I If the malfunction indicator does not light up, refer to EL sec-
tion (ªWARNING LAMPS/WIRING DIAGRAMº) or see MI &
DATA LINK CONNECTORS.
2. When the engine is started, the malfunction indicator should go off.
If the lamp remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
If MI illuminates or flashes irregularly after starting engine,
water may have accumulated in fuel filter. Drain water from
fuel filter.
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FUNCTION
The on board diagnostic system has the following three functions.
Diagnostic
Test Mode KEY and ENG.
Status Function Explanation of Function
Mode I Ignition switch in
ON position
Engine stoppedBULB CHECK
This function checks the MI bulb for damage (blown, open
circuit, etc.).
If the MI does not come on, check MI circuit. (See EC-475.)
Engine running
MALFUNCTION
WARNING This is a usual driving condition. When ECM detects a
malfunction, the MI will light up to inform the driver that a mal-
function has been detected.
Mode II Ignition switch in
ON position
Engine stopped

Description for Work Flow
STEPDESCRIPTION
STEP I Get detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident/symptom occurred using the
ªDIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEETº as shown on the next page.
STEP II Before confirming the concern, check and write down (print out using CONSULT-II) the Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC), then erase the code. (Refer to EC-344). The DTC can be used when duplicating the incident at STEP III &
IV.
Study the relationship between the cause, specified by DTC, and the symptom described by the customer. (The
ªSymptom Matrix Chartº will be useful. Refer to EC-363.)
STEP III Try to confirm the symptom and under what conditions the incident occurs.
The ªDIAGNOSTIC WORK SHEETº is useful to verify the incident. Connect CONSULT-II to the vehicle in DATA
MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) mode and check real time diagnosis results.
If the malfunction code is detected, skip STEP IV and perform STEP V.
STEP IV Try to detect the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) by driving in (or performing) the ªDTC CONFIRMATION PROCE-
DUREº. Check and read the DTC by using CONSULT-II.
During the DTC verification, be sure to connect CONSULT-II to the vehicle in DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) mode
and check real time diagnosis results.
In case the ªDTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDUREº is not available, perform the ªOVERALL FUNCTION CHECKº
instead. The DTC cannot be displayed by this check, however, this simplified ªcheckº is an effective alternative.
The ªNGº result of the ªOVERALL FUNCTION CHECKº is the same as the DTC detection.
STEP V Take the appropriate action based on the results of STEP I through IV.
If the malfunction code is indicated, proceed to TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC.
If the normal code is indicated, proceed to the BASIC INSPECTION. Refer to EC-361. Then perform inspections
according to the Symptom Matrix Chart. Refer to EC-363.
STEP VI Identify where to begin diagnosis based on the relationship study between symptom and possible causes. Inspect
the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage using (tracing) ªHarness Layoutsº.
Gently shake the related connectors, components or wiring harness with CONSULT-II set in ªDATA MONITOR
(AUTO TRIG)º mode.
Check the voltage of the related ECM terminals or monitor the output data from the related sensors with CON-
SULT-II. Refer to EC-369.
The ªDIAGNOSTIC PROCEDUREº in EC section contains a description based on open circuit inspection. A short
circuit inspection is also required for the circuit check in the DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning parts.
STEP VII Once you have repaired the circuit or replaced a component, you need to run the engine in the same conditions
and circumstances which resulted in the customer's initial complaint.
Perform the ªDTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDUREº and confirm the normal code (Diagnostic trouble code No. 55)
is detected. If the incident is still detected in the final check, perform STEP VI by using a different method from the
previous one.
Before returning the vehicle to the customer, be sure to erase the unnecessary (already fixed) DTC in ECM. (Refer
to EC-344.)

Basic Inspection
Precaution:
Perform Basic Inspection without electrical or mechanical
loads applied;
IHeadlamp switch is OFF,
I Air conditioner switch is OFF,
I Rear defogger switch is OFF,
I Steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
BEFORE STARTING
1. Check service records for any recent
repairs that may indicate a related
problem, or the current need for
scheduled maintenance.
2. Open engine hood and check the fol- lowing:
I Harness connectors for improper con-
nections
I Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, or
improper connections
I Wiring for improper connections,
pinches, or cuts
3.Using priming pump, bleed air from fuel system. Refer to ªFuel Filter Checkº in
MA section.
CONNECT CONSULT-II TO THE
VEHICLE.
Connect ªCONSULT-IIº to the data link
connector for CONSULT-II and select
ªENGINEº from the menu.
DOES ENGINE START?
Ye s
ENo Turn ignition switch to
ªLOCKº position, wait 5
seconds and then start
engine. If engine fails to
start, check diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).
Run engine for 10 minutes.
CHECK IDLE SPEED.
Read engine idle speed in ªDATA
MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II.
725 rpm 50 (in N position)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -OR------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check idle speed using tachometer
tester.
