General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
A
The ECM/PCM stores various specific data to correct the
system even if there is no electrical power, such as
when the battery negative terminal or the No. 19
FI MAIN (15 A) fuse is disconnected. Stored data based
on failed parts should be cleared by using the CLEAR
COMMAND of the HDS, if parts are replaced.
The HDS has three kinds of clear commands to meet
this purpose. They are DTC clear, ECM/PCM reset, and
CKP pattern clear. DTC clear command erases all stored
DTC codes, freeze data, on-board snapshot, and
readiness codes. This must be done with the HDS after
reproducing the DTC during troubleshooting.
The ECM/PCM reset command erases all stored DTC
codes, freeze data, on-board snapshot, readiness codes,
and all specific data to correct the system except CKP
pattern. If the CKP pattern data in the ECM/PCM was
cleared, you must do the CKP pattern learn procedure.
The CKP pattern clear command erases only CKP
pattern data. This command is for repair of a misfire or
the CKP sensor.
If you are using a generic scan tool to clear commands,
be aware that there is only one setting for clearing the
ECM/PCM, and it clears all commands at the same time
(CKP pattern learn, idle learn, readiness codes, freeze
data, on-board snapshot, and DTCs). After you clear all
commands, you then need to do these procedures, in
this order: ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page
11-310); CKP pattern learn procedure;
Test-drive to set readiness codes to complete (see page
11-69).
1. Clear the DTC with the HDS while the engine is stopped.
2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 30 seconds.
4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and disconnect the HDS from the DLC. 1. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS while the engine
is stopped.
2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 30 seconds.
4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
5. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/ PCM and other vehicle systems. If it doesn’t, go to
the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see page 11-204).
4. Select CRANK PATTERN in the ADJUSTMENT MENU with the HDS.
5. Select CRANK PATTERN LEAR NING with the HDS,
and follow the screen prompts.

Learn Procedure (without the HDS)How to End a Troubleshooting Session
(required after any troubleshooting)
11-5
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at
3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in
neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
2. Test-drive the vehicle on a level road: Decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) from an engine speed
of 2,500 rpm down to 1,000 rpm with the A/T in
S in 1st or 2nd, or M/T in 1st.
3. Test-drive the vehicle on a level road: Decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) from an engine speed
of 5,000 rpm down to 3,000 rpm with the A/T in
S in 1st or 2nd, or M/T in 1st.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 several times.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 30 seconds. 1. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
2. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page
11-310).
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC. NOTE: The ECM/PCM is part of the immobilizer
system. If you replace the ECM/PCM, it will have a
different immobilizer code. For the engine to start,
you must rewrite the immobilizer code with the
HDS.

NOTE: The ECM/PCM overwrites data and monitors the
EVAP system for about 30 minutes after the ignition
switch is turned to LOCK (0) or ACC (I). Jumping the
SCS line after turning the ignition switch to LOCK (0) or
ACC (I) cancels this function. Disconnecting the ECM/
PCM during this function, without jumping the SCS line
first, can damage the ECM/PCM.
1. Make sure the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), then jump the SCS line with the HDS.
2. Remove the cover (A).
3. Lift up the under-hood fuse/relay box (D).
4. Remove the coolant reservoir (E). Disconnect ECM/ PCM connectors A, B, and C, and probe the
terminals from the terminal side of the connectors.
NOTE: ECM/PCM connectors A, B, and C have
symbols (A= , B= , C= ) embosed on them for
identification. 5. When diagnosis/troubleshooting is done at the
ECM/PCM connector, use the terminal test port (A)
above the terminal you need to check.
6. Connect one side of the patch cord’s terminals (A) to a commercially available digital multimeter (B),
and connect the other side cord’s terminals (C) to a
commercially available banana jack (Pomona
Electronics Tool No. 3563 or equivalent) (D).
7. Gently contact the pin probe (male) at the terminal test port from the terminal side. Do not force the
tips into the terminals.
For accurate results, always use the pin probe (male).
To prevent damage to the c onnector
terminals, do not insert test equipment
probes, paper clips, or other substitutes as
they can damage the terminals. Damaged
terminals cause a poor connection and an
incorrect measurement.
Do not puncture the insulation on a wire. Punctures can cause poor or intermittent
electrical connections.

System Description
The functions of the fuel and emission control systems are managed by the engine control module (ECM) on vehicles
with manual transmissions or the powertrain control module (PCM) on vehicles with automatic transmissions.
The ECM/PCM detects a failure of a signal from a sensor or another control unit and stores a Temporary DTC or a DTC.
Depending on the failure, a DTC is stored in either the first or the second drive cycle (K20Z3 engine: DTC P0457, turns
on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the third drive cycle). When a DTC is stored, the ECM/PCM turns on the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) by a signal sent to the gauge via F-CAN. When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or from another control unit, the ECM/PCM stores a DTC
and turns on the MIL immediately.
When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or from another control unit in the first drive cycle, the
ECM/PCM stores a Temporary DTC. If the failure continues in the second drive cycle, the ECM/PCM stores a DTC and
turns on the MIL.
When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or another control unit, the ECM/PCM ignores the signal and
substitutes a pre-programmed value that allows the engine to continue running. This causes a DTC to be stored and
the MIL to come on.
When the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), the ECM/PCM turns on the MIL via the F-CAN circuit for about 15 to
20 seconds to check the bulb condition. If any readiness codes are not set to complete, the MIL flashes five times. If all
readiness codes are set to complete, the MIL goes off.
After the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), the ECM/PCM stays on (about 30 minutes). If the ECM/PCM connector is
disconnected during this time, the ECM/PCM may be damaged. To cancel this mode, disconnect the negative cable
from the battery or jump the SCS line with the HDS after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0).
