http://vnx.su/

IWhen connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
I Securely connect ECM harness connectors.
A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge)
voltage to develop in coil and condenser, thus resulting in
damage to IC's.
I Keep engine control system harness at least 10cm (4 in)
away from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control
system malfunctions due to receiving external noise,
degraded operation of IC's, etc.
I Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.
I Before replacing ECM, perform Terminals and Reference
Value inspection and make sure ECM functions properly.
I After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº or ªOverall Function
Checkº.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ªDTC Confirmation
Procedureº if the repair is completed. The ªOverall Func-
tion Checkº should be a good result if the repair is com-
pleted.
I When measuring ECM signals with a circuit tester, never
allow the two tester probes to contact.
Accidental contact of probes will cause a short circuit and
damage the ECM power transistor.
I Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/
output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the
ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals,
such as the ground.
I Do not disconnect supply pump harness connector with
engine running.
I Do not disassemble fuel pump.
If NG, take proper action.
I Do not disassemble fuel injector.
If NG, replace fuel injector.
I Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause seri-
ous problems.
I Do not shock or jar the crankshaft position sensor and the
camshaft position sensor.

PRECAUTIONS
IBefore connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect nega-
tive battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the ECM
because battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition
switch is turned off.
I When connecting ECM harness connector, open the ports
on harness connector then meet the ports with the pins on
ECM as shown. Push slider on harness connector until it
stops.
I Before replacing ECM, perform Terminals and Reference
Value inspection and make sure ECM functions properly.
Refer to EC-369.
I If MI illuminates or flashes irregularly while the engine is
running, water may have accumulated in fuel filter. Drain
water from fuel filter. If this does not correct the problem,
perform specified trouble diagnostic procedures.
I After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
ªOVERALL FUNCTION CHECKº or ªDTC (Diagnostic
Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCEDUREº.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ªDTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDUREº if the repair is successful. The ªOVER-
ALL FUNCTION CHECKº should indicate a good result if
the repair is completed successfully.

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

Introduction
The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel
injection control, fuel injection timing control, glow control system,
etc. The ECM accepts input signals from sensors and instantly
drives electronic fuel injection pump. It is essential that both input
and output signals are correct and stable. It is also important that
there are no problems such as vacuum leaks, with the engine.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a problem that occurs intermit-
tently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by poor electric connections or faulty wiring. In this case,
careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the unnec-
essary replacement of good parts.
A visual check may not be sufficient to determine the cause of the
problems. An active road test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester
connected should be performed. Follow the ªWork Flowº on the
next page.
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with
a customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply important information about such problems,
especially intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present
and under what conditions they occur. A ªDiagnostic Worksheetº
like the example on the next page should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for ªconventionalº problems first.
This will help troubleshoot driveability problems on a vehicle with
an electronically controlled engine.

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.)
