PRECAUTION
1. INITIALIZATION
NOTICE:
• Perform RESET MEMORY (AT initialization) when
replacing the automatic transaxle assembly, engine
assembly or ECM (See page AX-16).
• Perform REGISTRATION (VIN registration) when
replacing the ECM (See page ES-15).
HINT:
Initialization cannot be completed by only removing the
battery.
2. FOR USING INTELLIGENT TESTER
CAUTION:
Observe the following items for safety reasons:
• Before using the tester, read the instruction
manual.
• Prevent the tester cable from being caught on the
pedals, shift lever and steering wheel when
driving with the tester connected to the vehicle.
• When driving the vehicle for testing purposes
using the tester, two persons are required. One is
for driving the vehicle, and the other operates the
tester.
3. FOR USING BATTERY DURING INSPECTION
(a) While using the battery during inspection, do not
bring the positive and negative tester probes too
close to each other as a short circuit may occur.
4. COOLING FAN SYSTEM
NOTICE:
• When the ignition switch is turned off and the engine
temperature is high, the cooling fans may operate for
approximately 3 minutes.
• After turning the ignition switch off, keep hands and
objects away from the fans when they are operating.
HINT:
If all of the following are met for a certain period of time during
a few minute period immediately before the engine is
stopped, the electric fans will continue to operate for 3
minutes after the engine is stopped. This is performed to
ensure restartability and stabilize idle speed.
– The intelligent tester indicates a very high coolant
temperature.
– The intelligent tester indicates a high outside air
temperature.
– The vehicle has been driven under high load (driving on an
uphill or equivalent).
The following sensors are used for this control:
– Coolant temperature sensor
– Outside air temperature sensor
–MAF sensor
– Vehicle speed sensors

DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0115 (See page ES-133).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The resistance of the ECT sensor varies in proportion to the actual ECT. The ECM supplies a constant
voltage to the sensor and monitors the signal output voltage of the sensor. The signal voltage output
varies according to the changing resistance of the sensor. After the engine is started, the ECT is
monitored through this signal. If the ECT sensor indicates that the engine is not yet warm enough for
closed-loop fuel control, despite a specified period of time having elapsed since the engine was started,
the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor or cooling system and sets the DTC.
Example:
The ECT is 0
C (32F) at engine start. After 5 minutes running time, the ECT sensor still indicates that the
engine is not warm enough to begin closed-loop fuel (air-fuel ratio feedback) control. The ECM interprets
this as a malfunction in the sensor or cooling system and sets the DTC.

HINT:
This DTC relates to the thermostat.
DESCRIPTION
This DTC is set when the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) does not reach 75C (167F) despite
sufficient engine warm-up time.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM estimates the ECT based on the starting temperature, engine loads, and engine speeds. The
ECM then compares the estimated temperature with the actual ECT. When the estimated ECT reaches
75
C (167F), the ECM checks the actual ECT. If the actual ECT is less than 75C (167F), the ECM
interprets this as a malfunction in the thermostat or the engine cooling system and sets the DTC.
