Engine Control System (4JH1) 6E-271
Checks Action
Engine Mechanical Checks Inspect the engine mechanical for the following conditions. Refer to the Engine
Mechanical section.
• Inspect for poor cylinder compression. Proper compression is more than 2100 kPa
(309 psi).
• Inspect for incorrect basic engine parts such as camshaft, cylinder head, pistons,
etc.
• Inspect for any excessive oil entering combustion chamber.
Additional Checks •
Inspect the EGR system operating correctly.
• Inspect other possible causes that can make similar noise such as loose component
parts, bracket, mount and weak clutch damper spring.


Poor Fuel Economy
Checks Action
DEFINITION:Fuel economy, as measured by actual road tests and several tanks of fuel, is noticeably lower than expected.
Also, the economy is noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle at one time, as previously shown by actual road tests.
Preliminary Checks • Remove the air cleaner and check for dirt, or for air ducts being plugged or
restricted. Replace as necessary.
• Inspect the driving habits of the owner.
• Is the A/C ON full time, defroster mode ON?
• Are the tires at the correct pressure?
• Are the tire sizes changed?
• Are excessively heavy loads being carried?
• Is the acceleration too much, too often?
• Inspect for clutch slip.
• Inspect brake drag.
• Inspect dive belt tension.
• Inspect for a proper transmission shift pattern and down shift operation (A/T only).
• Inspect the fuel quality (cetane index).
• Inspect the engine oil level and quality.
• Suggest to the owner to fill the fuel tank and recheck the fuel economy.
• Suggest to the driver to read the Important Facts on Fuel Economy in the Owner
Manual.
• Inspect the odometer is correctly operated.
• Inspect the Service Bulletins for ECM software updates.
Sensor Checks Inspect the engine control sensors for the following conditions. Refer to the scan tool
Data List in this section.
• Use the scan tool to compare the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) with the Intake
Air Temperature (IAT) and Fuel Temperature (FT) on a cold engine condition. If the
difference among temperature reading is more than 5°C (9°F) on a cold engine,
check for high resistance on the low reference circuit and signal circuit or for a
skewed sensor.
Notice: The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is heated and as a result the IAT sensor may
indicate a higher than normal intake air temperature if the ignition switch is being ON.
FT sensor is internal to the PCU and it is part of the fuel injection pump assembly.
Fuel System Checks Inspect the fuel system for the following conditions. Refer to the Fuel System section.
• Inspect the fuel type and quality.
• Check fuel leak.
Cooling System Checks Inspect the cooling system for the following conditions. Refer to the Cooling System
Section.
• Inspect the engine coolant level.
• Inspect the engine thermostat for always being open or for the wrong heat range.
• Inspect the engine cooling fan for always being ON.

Data List in this section.
• Compare the Coolant Temperature with the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) and Fuel Temperature (FT) parameters on a cold engine condition. If the difference among
temperature reading is more than 5 °C (9 °F) on a cold engine, check for high
resistance in each circuit or for a skewed sensor.
Notice: The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is heated and as a result the IAT may indicate

Entering the self-diagnostic mode
1. Push in and hold the “Change Indicator and Reset” knob.
2. Turn the ignition ON.
3. W hen the LCD odometer turns ON, release the “Change Indicator and Reset” knob.

The meter cluster is now in “Self-diagnostic” mode.
NOTE: Steps 2-4 must be performed within 7 seconds.
The meter cluster will not enter “Self-diagnostic” mode if any of
the following conditions occur:
1. The “Change Indicator and Reset” knob is not depressed when the ignition is turned ON.
2. The “Change Indicator and Reset” knob is released within 600ms of turning the ignition ON.

Self –diagnostic mode
LCD condition
• All LCDs are lit during the transition from self-diagnostic
decision mode to self-diagnostic mode
• The odometer/trip indicator scrolls throng its entire range
approximately once every 600 ms. All digits are lit (segment
check indication). This continues until the self-diagnostic
mode is terminated.

Meter and gauge indications
Meter and gauge indications with the change indicator and
reset knob on (self-diagnostic mode) are as shown in the
following table.




RTW 78ASF000101


Speedometer 100 kilometers per hour
Tachometer 3,000 rpm
Fuel gauge
Temperature gauge Mid-point on the dial

All indications return to zero when the change indicator and
reset knob is turned off.
The self-diagnostic mode and the self-diagnostic decision
mode are cancelled when the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position. They also cancel when a speed pulse is sensed.
If either of the self-diagnostic modes are cancelled by turning
the ignition switch to the OFF position, the diagnostic unit
remains in the stand-by condition.
If cancellation occurs when a speed pulse is sensed, the unit
remains in the ordinary operating condition.
