PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
HINT:
If a normal code is displayed during the DTC check but the trouble still o\
ccurs, check the circuits for each
symptom in the order given in the charts on the following pages and proceed to \
the page given for trouble-
shooting.
The Matrix Chart is divided into 3 chapters.

If the instruction ºProceed to next circuit inspection shown on matri\
x chartº is given in the flow chart
for each circuit, proceed to the circuit with the next highest number in the table to continue the check.

If the trouble still occurs even though there are no abnormalities in any of the other circuits, then ch\
eck
and replace the ECM.

1.DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a)Description for Euro±OBD
(1)When troubleshooting Euro±OBD vehicles, theonly difference from the usual troubleshooting pro-
cedure is that you connect the vehicle to the OBD
scan tool complying with ISO 15031±4 or hand±
held tester, and read off various data output from
the vehicle's ECM.
(2)Euro±OBD regulations require that the vehicle's on±board computer illuminates the Check Engine
Warning Light (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)/CHK
ENG (MIL) on the instrument panel when the com-
puter detects a malfunction in the emission control
system/components or in the driving system com-
ponents which affect vehicle emissions, or a mal-
function in the computer. In addition to CHK ENG
(MIL) illuminating when a malfunction is detected,
the applicable Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
prescribed by ISO15031±6 are recorded in the
ECM memory.
If the malfunction does not occur in 3±trip, the CHK ENG (MIL)
goes off but the DTCs remain recorded in the ECM memory. (3)To check the DTCs, connect the OBD scan tool orhand±held tester to the Data Link Connector 3
(DLC3) on the vehicle. The OBD scan tool or hand±
held tester also enables you to erase the DTCs and
check freezed frame data and various forms of en-
gine data (For operating instructions, see the OBD
scan tool's instruction book.).
(4)DTCs include ISO controlled codes and manufac- turer controlled codes. ISO controlled codes must
be set as prescribed by the ISO, while manufacturer
controlled codes can be set freely by the manufac-
turer within the prescribed limits (See DTC chart on
page 05±876).
(5) The diagnosis system operates in normal mode during normal vehicle use. It also has a check mode
for technicians to simulate malfunction symptoms
and troubleshoot. Most DTCs use 2 trip detection
logic (*) to prevent erroneous detection, and ensure
thorough malfunction detection. By switching the
ECM to check mode when troubleshooting, techni-
cians can cause the CHK ENG (MIL) to light up for
a malfunction that is only detected once or momen-
tarily (Hand±held tester only) (See step 2).

(c) Inspect the DLC3.
(1) The vehicle's ECM uses the ISO 9141±2 (Euro±
OBD)/ISO 14230 (M±OBD) communication proto-
col. The terminal arrangement of DLC3 complies
with ISO 15031±3 and matches the ISO
9141±2/ISO 14230 format.

HINT:
If your display shows ºUNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLEº
when you have connected the cable of hand±held tester to
DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON and operated the hand±
held tester, there is a problem on the vehicle side or tool side.

If communication is normal when the tool is connected to
another vehicle, inspect DLC3 on the original vehicle.

If communication is still not possible when the tool is con-
nected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the
tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in the
tool's instruction manual.
2. INSPECT DIAGNOSIS (NORMAL MODE)
(a) Check the MIL.
(1) The MIL comes on when the ignition switch is turned
ON and the engine is not running.
HINT:
If the MIL does not come on, troubleshoot the combination me-
ter.
(2) When the engine is started, the MIL should go off.
If the light remains on, the diagnosis system has de-
tected a malfunction or abnormality in the system.
(b) Check the DTC, using the hand±held tester.
NOTICE:
Hand±held tester only:
When the diagnostic system is switched from normal mode
to check (test) mode, it erases all DTCs and freeze frame
data recorded in normal mode. So before switching modes,
always check the DTCs and freeze frame data, and note
them down.

(2)Check for shift shock and slip. Check for shock and slip at the 1
2, 2
3 and 3
O/D up±shift.
(3)Check for abnormal noise and vibration.
Run in D range lock±up or O/D gear and check for abnormal noise and v\
ibration.
HINT:
The check for the cause of abnormal noise and vibration must be done very t\
horoughly as it could also be
sure to loss of balance in the differential, torque converter, etc. (4)Check kick±down operation.While running in the D range, 2nd, 3rd and O/D gears, check to see that the p\
ossible kick±down
vehicle speed limits for 2
1, 3
2 and O/D
3 kick±downs conform to those indicated in the
automatic shift schedule (See page 03±45).
(5) Check for abnormal shock and slip at kick±down.
(6) Check the lock±up mechanism.

Drive in D range O/D gear, at a steady speed (lock±up ON) of about 60 km/h (37 mph).

Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change
abruptly.
If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock±up.
(b) S range test Shift to the S range, depress the accelerator pedal and check the follow\
ing points:
Shift operations.

Shifting the shift lever to º+º or º±º changes the shift \
range on the combination meter.
HINT:
Manual shift prohibition control is performed when:

Down±shifting causes engine overrun.

Down±shifting is required continuously, down±shifting to 1st gear may not be performed.
(c) R range test Shift into the R range and fully depress the accelerator pedal and check\
for slipping.
CAUTION:
Before conducting this test, ensure that the test area is free from peop\
le and obstruction.
(d) P range test Stop the vehicle on a grade (more than 5
) and after shifting into the P range, release the parking
brake. Then, check to see that the parking lock pawl holds the vehicle in plac\
e.

(6) *2 trip detection logic:
When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunc-
tion code is temporarily stored in the ECM memory
(1st trip). If the same malfunction is detected again
during the second drive test, this second detection
causes the CHK ENG (MIL) to illumenate (2nd trip)
(However, the ignition switch must be turned OFF
between the 1st trip and the 2nd trip.).
(b) Inspect the DLC3.
(1) The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 9141±2 (Euro±OBD)
communication protocol. The terminal arrangement
of DLC3 complies with ISO 15031±3 and matches
the ISO 9141±2 format.

(8) Simulate the conditions of the malfunction de-
scribed by the customer.
NOTICE:
Leave the ignition switch ON until you have checked the
DTCs, etc.
(9) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
hand±held tester diagnosis selector to check the
DTCs and freeze frame data, etc.
HINT:
Take care not to turn the ignition switch OFF, as turning it off
switches the diagnosis system from Check mode to Normal
mode, which all DTCs etc. are erased.
(10) After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable cir-
cuit.
(b) Clear the DTC.
When using the hand±held tester:
The following operation will erase the DTC and freeze
frame data. Operate the hand±held tester to erase the
codes.
(c) Clear the DTC.
When not using the hand±held tester:
Remove the EFI fuse from engine room J/B for 10 se-
conds or more.
4. DATA LIST
HINT:
According to the DATA LIST displayed by the hand±held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor,
actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step of troubleshooting is one
of the methods to shorten the work time.
(a) Warm up the engine.
(b) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(c) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(e) According to the display on tester, read the ºDATA LISTº.
