NOTE
If the engine-ECU is replaced, the immobilizer-ECU and
ignition key should be replaced together with it.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
ENGINE WARNING LAMP (CHECK ENGINE LAMP)
If an abnormality occurs in any of the following items related
to the MPI system, the engine warning lamp will illuminate
or flash. If the lamp remains illuminated or if the lamp
illuminates while the engine is running, check the diagnosis
code output.
However, the warning lamp will illuminate as bulb check for
5 seconds whenever the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position.

NOTE
If the engine warning lamp illuminates because of a malfunction of the engine-ECU, communication between
MUT-IIand the engine-ECU is impossible. In this case, the diagnosis code cannot be read.
METHOD OF READING AND ERASING DIAGNOSIS
CODES
Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection
Service Points.
INSPECTION USING MUT-IIDATA LIST AND ACTUATOR
TESTING
1. Carry out inspection by means of the data list and the
actuator test function. If there is an abnormality, check
and repair the chassis harnesses and components.
2. After repairing, re-check using the MUT-IIand check that
the abnormal input and output have returned to normal
as a result of the repairs.
3. Erase the diagnosis code memory.
4. Remove the MUT-II, and then start the engine again and
carry out a road test to confirm that the problem has
disappeared.
