Oil Pressure Warning Lamp Does Not Turn Off (Oil Pressure Is Normal)EKS00BCL
NOTE:
For oil pressure inspection, refer to LU-7, "
OIL PRESSURE CHECK" .
1. CHECK ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE OPERATION
Observe operation of engine oil pressure gauge.
Does engine oil pressure gauge function properly?
YES >> Replace the combination meter. Refer to IP-13, "COMBINATION METER" .
NO >> Go to DI-19, "
Engine Oil Pressure Signal Inspection" .

Do not disassemble ECM.
If a battery cable is disconnected, the memory will return to
the ECM value.
The ECM will now start to self-control at its initial value.
Engine operation can vary slightly when the terminal is dis-
connected. However, this is not an indication of a malfunc-
tion. Do not replace parts because of a slight variation.
If the battery is disconnected, the following emission-
related diagnostic information will be lost within 24 hours.
–Diagnostic trouble codes
–1st trip diagnostic trouble codes
–Freeze frame data
–1st trip freeze frame data
–System readiness test (SRT) codes
–Test values
When connecting ECM harness connector, fasten it
securely with a lever as far as it will go as shown in the fig-
ure.
When 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.
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 ICs.
Keep engine control system harness at least 10 cm (4 in)
away from adjacent harness, to prevent engine control sys-
tem malfunctions due to receiving external noise, degraded
operation of ICs, etc.
Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.
Before replacing ECM, perform ECM Terminals and Refer-
ence Value inspection and make sure ECM functions prop-
erly. Refer to EC-105, "
ECM Terminals and Reference Value"
.
Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
Do not disassemble mass air flow sensor.
Do not clean mass air flow sensor with any type of deter-
gent.
Do not disassemble electric throttle control actuator.
Even a slight leak in the air intake system can cause seri-
ous incidents.
Do not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor (PHASE), crankshaft position sensor (POS).

2. Connect ignition coil No.1 and spark plug with suitable high-ten-
sion wire as shown, and attach timing light clamp to this wire.
3. Check ignition timing.
VIN RegistrationUBS00KZX
DESCRIPTION
VIN Registration is an operation to registering VIN in ECM. It must be performed each time ECM is replaced.
NOTE:
Accurate VIN which is registered in ECM may be required for Inspection & Maintenance (I/M).
OPERATION PROCEDURE With CONSULT-II
1. Check the VIN of the vehicle and note it. Refer to GI-47, "IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION" .
2. Turn ignition switch ON and engine stopped.
3. Select “VIN REGISTRATION ” in “WORK SUPPORT ” mode.
4. Follow the instruction of CONSULT-II display.
