HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
HINT:
Carry out troubleshooting in accordance with the procedures on the following page. Here, only the basic
procedures are shown. Details are provided in the Diagnostics Section, showing the most effective methods
for each circuit. Confirm the troubleshooting procedures first for the relevant circuit before beginning trouble-
shooting of that circuit.

(b) JACKING UP AND SUPPORTING VEHICLE (1) Care must be taken when jacking up and supporting the vehicle. Be sure to li\
ft and support thevehicle at the proper locations (See page 01±19).
(c) PRECOATED PARTS(1) Precoated parts such as bolts, nuts, etc., are
coated with a seal lock adhesive at the factory.
(2) If a precoated part is retightened, loosened or caused to move in any way, it must be recoated with
the specified adhesive.
(3) When reusing precoated parts, clean off the old
adhesive and dry the part with compressed air.
Then apply the specified seal lock adhesive to the
bolt, nut or threads.
NOTICE:
Check the torque with the lower limit value of the torque tol-
erance.
(4) Depending on the seal lock agent to be applied,there may be cases where it is necessary to leave
it for a specified time until it hardens.
(d) GASKETS (1) When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent leaks.
(e) BOLTS, NUTS AND SCREWS (1) Carefully follow all the specifications for tightening torques. Always u\
se a torque wrench.
(f) FUSES(1) When replacing fuses, be sure that a new fuse hasthe correct amperage rating. DO NOT exceed the
rating, or use one with a lower rating.

(a)Checking the DTCs using the hand±held tester. (1)Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2)Turn the ignition switch ON and switch the hand±held tester main switch ON.
(3)Use the hand±held tester to check the DTCs and freeze frame data and note them down (for operat-
ing instructions, see the hand±held tester's instruc-
tion book).
(4)See page 05±309 to confirm the details of the DTCs.
HINT:
In the event that 2 or more DTCs are detected, the CHK ENG
lamp will indicate the smaller number DTC first.
(b) Clearing the DTCs using the hand±held tester. (1) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) When operating the hand±held tester to erase thecodes, the DTCs and freeze frame data will be
erased. (See the hand±held tester's instruction
book for operating instructions.)
(c) Clearing the DTCs not using the hand±held tester. (1) Disconnect the battery terminal or remove the EFIand THROTTLE fuses from the engine room R/B
No. 1 for more than 60 seconds.
3. DTC CHECK (Check Mode)
HINT:
Hand±held tester only:
Compared to the normal mode, the check mode has more sens-
ing ability to detect malfunctions.
Furthermore, the same diagnostic items which are detected in
the normal mode can also be detected in the check (test) mode.
(a) Procedure for check mode using the hand±held tester.
(1) Check the initial conditions
Battery positive voltage 11 V or more.
Throttle valve fully closed.
Transmission in the ºPº or ºNº position.
Air conditioning switched OFF.
(2) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(3) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(4) Turn the ignition switch ON and switch the hand±
held tester main switch ON.

(5) Switch the hand±held tester from the normal mode
to the check (test) mode. The CHK ENG blinks in
0.13 sec. intervals as shown in the illustration.
NOTICE:
If the hand±held tester switches the ECM from the normal
mode to the check mode or vice±versa, or if the ignition
switch is turned from ON to ACC or OFF during the check
mode, the DTC and freeze frame data will be erased.
(6) Start the engine. (The CHK ENG goes off after the
engine start.)
(7) Simulate the conditions of the malfunction de-
scribed by the customer.
NOTICE:
Leave the ignition switch ON until you have checked the
DTC, etc.
(8) After simulating the malfunction conditions, use the
hand±held tester diagnosis selector to check the
DTCs and freeze frame data, etc.
HINT:
Be sure not to turn the ignition switch OFF, because the diagno-
sis system is changed from the check mode to the normal mode
and will result in all of the DTCs and freeze frame data being
erased.
(9) After checking the DTC, inspect the applicable cir-
cuit.
(b) Clearing the DTCs using the hand±held tester.
(1) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) When operating the hand±held tester to erase the
codes, the DTCs and freeze frame data will be
erased. (See the hand±held tester's instruction
book for operating instructions.)
(c) Clearing the DTCs not using the hand±held tester.
(1) Disconnect the battery terminal or remove the EFI
and THROTTLE fuses from the engine room R/B
No. 1 for more than 60 seconds.

3 CHECK IF DTC OUTPUTS REOCCUR
(a) Clear the DTC.
(1) Operating the hand±held tester to erase the codes, or disconnecting the battery terminal or the
EFI and ETCS fuses for 60 seconds or more.
(b) Start the engine and warm it up.
(c) Drive the vehicle around for 10 minutes or more.
(d) Read output DTC using the hand±held tester.
Standard: No DTC output.
HINT:
*: DTCs P0011 or P0012 is output when a foreign object in engine oil is caught in some part of the system.
These codes will stay registered even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects
are then captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.

If voltage is below 11V, recharge the battery before proceeding.
(d)Check the CHK ENG.
(1)The CHK ENG lamp comes on when the ignitionswitch is turned ON and the engine is not running.
HINT:
If the CHK ENG is not illuminate, troubleshoot the combination
meter.
(2)When the engine is started, the CHK ENG shouldgo off. If the lamp remains on, it means that the diag-
nosis system has detected a malfunction or ab-
normality in the system.
2.DTC CHECK (Normal Mode):
NOTICE:
Hand±held tester only:
When the diagnosis system is switched from the normal
mode to the check mode, it erases all DTCs and freeze
frame data recorded in the normal mode. So before switch-
ing modes, always check the DTCs and freeze frame data,
and then write them down.
(a)Checking DTCs using the hand±held tester. (1)Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2)Turn the ignition switch ON and switch the hand±held tester main switch ON.
(3)Use the hand±held tester to check the DTCs and freeze frame data and then write them down. If you
need help with the hand±held tester, refer to the
hand±held tester's instruction book).
(4)See page 05±544 to confirm the details of the
DTCs.
(b) Clearing the DTCs using the hand±held tester: (1) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) When operating the hand±held tester to erase thecodes, the DTCs and freeze frame data will be
erased. (See the hand±held tester's instruction
book for operating instructions.)
(c) Clearing the DTCs not using the hand±held tester:
(1) Disconnect the battery terminal or remove the EFIand ETCS fuses from the engine room R/B for more
than 60 seconds.

5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
Hand±held tester only:
By putting the vehicle's ECM in the check mode, the 1 trip detection logic is possible instead of the 2 trip
detection logic, and the sensitivity to detect faults is increased. This makes it easier to detect intermittent
problems.
(a) Clear the DTCs (See step 2).
(b) Set the check mode (See step 3).
