FUNCTION
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Connect GST to data link connector (1), which is located under
LH dash panel near the hood opener handle.
Diagnostic service Function
Service $01 READINESS TESTSThis diagnostic service gains access to current emission-related data values, including
analog inputs and outputs, digital inputs and outputs, and system status information.
Service $02 (FREEZE DATA)This diagnostic service gains access to emission-related data value which were stored by
ECM during the freeze frame. For details, refer to EC-762, "
FREEZE FRAME DATA AND
1ST TRIP FREEZE FRAME DATA" .
Service $03 DTCsThis diagnostic service gains access to emission-related power train trouble codes which
were stored by ECM.
Service $04 CLEAR DIAG INFOThis diagnostic service can clear all emission-related diagnostic information. This
includes:

Clear number of diagnostic trouble codes (Service $01)

Clear diagnostic trouble codes (Service $03)

Clear trouble code for freeze frame data (Service $01)

Clear freeze frame data (Service $02)

Reset status of system monitoring test (Service $01)

Clear on board monitoring test results (Service $06 and $07)
Service $06 (ON BOARD TESTS)This diagnostic service accesses the results of on board diagnostic monitoring tests of
specific components/systems that are not continuously monitored.
Service $07 (ON BOARD TESTS)This diagnostic service enables the off board test drive to obtain test results for emission-
related powertrain components/systems that are continuously monitored during normal
driving conditions.
Service $08 —This diagnostic service can close EVAP system in ignition switch ON position (Engine
stopped). When this diagnostic service is performed, EVAP canister vent control valve
can be closed.
In the following conditions, this diagnostic service cannot function.

Low ambient temperature

Low battery voltage

Engine running

Ignition switch OFF

Low fuel temperature

Too much pressure is applied to EVAP system
Service $09 (CALIBRATION ID)This diagnostic service enables the off-board test device to request specific vehicle infor-
mation such as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and Calibration IDs.

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data MonitorNBS005AP
Remarks:

Specification data are reference values.

Specification data are output/input values which are detected or supplied by the ECM at the connector.
* Specification data may not be directly related to their components signals/values/operations.
i.e. Adjust ignition timing with a timing light before monitoring IGN TIMING, because the monitor may show the specification data in
spite of the ignition timing not being adjusted to the specification data. This IGN TIMING monitors the data calculated by the ECM
according to the signals input from the camshaft position sensor and other ignition timing related sensors.
