ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, DTC, 1ST TRIP DTC AND DRIVING PATTERNS FOR “MISFIRE
” , “FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM”
*1: When the same malfunction is
detected in two consecutive trips,
MIL will light up. *2: MIL will go off after vehicle is driven
3 times (pattern B) without any mal-
functions. *3: When the same malfunction is
detected in two consecutive trips, the
DTC and the freeze frame data will
be stored in ECM.
*4: The DTC and the freeze frame data will not be displayed any longer after
vehicle is driven 80 times (pattern C)
without the same malfunction. (The
DTC and the freeze frame data still
remain in ECM.) *5: When a malfunction is detected for
the 1st time, the 1st trip DTC and the
1st trip freeze frame data will be
stored in ECM. *6: The 1st trip DTC and the 1st trip
freeze frame data will be cleared at
the moment OK is detected.
*7: When the same malfunction is detected in the 2nd trip, the 1st trip
freeze frame data will be cleared. *8: 1st trip DTC will be cleared when
vehicle is driven once (pattern C)
without the same malfunction after
DTC is stored in ECM.
