DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. DESCRIPTION
(a) When troubleshooting OBD II (On-Board
Diagnostics) vehicles, an intelligent tester
(complying with SAE J1987) must be connected to
the DLC3 (Data Link Connector 3) of the vehicle.
Various data in the vehicle's ECM (Engine Control
Module) can be then read.
(b) OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-
board computer illuminates the MIL (Malfunction
Indicator Lamp) on the instrument panel when the
computer detects a malfunction in:
(1) The emission control systems and components
(2) The power train control components (which
affect vehicle emissions)
(3) The computer itself
In addition, the applicable DTCs (Diagnostic
Trouble Codes) prescribed by SAE J2012 are
recorded on 3 consecutive trips, the MIL turns
off automatically but the DTCs remain recorded
in the ECM memory.
(c) To check for DTCs, connect an intelligent tester to
the DLC3. The tester displays DTCs, freeze frame
data, and a variety of engine data. The DTCs and
freeze frame data can be erased with the tester
(See page ES-39).

In order to enhance OBD function on vehicles and
develop the Off-Board diagnosis system, CAN
communication is introduced in this system (CAN:
Controller Area Network). It minimizes a gap
between technician skills and vehicle technology.
CAN is a network, which uses a pair of data
transmission lines, spanning multiple computers
and sensors. It allows a high speed communication
between the systems and to simplify the wire
harness connection.
Since this system is equipped with the CAN
communication, connecting the CAN VIM (VIM:
Vehicle Interface Module) with an intelligent tester is
necessary to display any information from the ECM.
(Also the communication between the intelligent
tester and the ECM uses CAN communication
signal.) When confirming the DTCs and any data of
the ECM, connect the CAN VIM between the DLC3
and the intelligent tester.
2. NORMAL MODE AND CHECK MODE
(a) The diagnosis system operates in normal mode
during normal vehicle use. In normal mode, 2 trip
detection logic is used to ensure accurate detection
of malfunctions. Check mode is also available as an
option for technicians. In check mode, 1 trip
detection logic is used for simulating malfunction
symptoms and increasing the system's ability to
detect malfunctions, including intermittent problems
(intelligent tester only) (See page ES-43).
3. 2 TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
(a) When a malfunction is first detected, the
malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM
memory (1st trip). If the same malfunction is
detected during the next subsequent drive cycle, the
MIL is illuminated (2nd trip).
4. FREEZE FRAME DATA
(a) The ECM records vehicle and driving condition
information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC
is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data
can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle
was running or stopped, whether the engine was
warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was
lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the
time of a malfunction.

(b) The MIL should turn off when the engine is started.
If the MIL remains illuminated, the diagnosis system
has detected a malfunction or abnormality in the
system.
HINT:
If the MIL is not illuminated when the ignition switch
is first turned to the ON position, check the MIL
circuit (See page ES-478).

DTC CHECK / CLEAR
NOTICE:
All the stored DTCs and freeze frame data are erased if:
1) the ECM is changed from normal mode to check mode
or vice versa; or 2) the ignition switch is turned from ON
to ACC or off while in check mode.
Before changing modes, always check and make a note
of any DTCs and freeze frame data.
HINT:
• DTCs which are stored in the ECM can be displayed on an
intelligent tester. An intelligent tester can display current
and pending DTCs.
• Some DTCs are not set if the ECM does not detect the
same malfunction again during the second consecutive
driving cycle. However, such malfunctions, detected on
only one occasion, are stored as pending DTCs.
1. CHECK DTC (Using an intelligent tester)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) Turn the tester ON.
(d) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT
CODES.
(e) Check for the DTC(s) and freeze frame data, and
then write them down.
(f) Check the details of the DTC(s) (See page ES-56).
2. CLEAR DTC (Using the intelligent tester)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) Turn the tester ON.
(d) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CLEAR CODES.
(e) Press the YES button.
3. CLEAR DTC (Without using an intelligent tester)
(a) Perform either one of the following operations:
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable for more
than 1 minute.
(2) Remove the EFI No. 1 and ETCS fuses from the
Relay Block (R/B) located inside the engine
compartment for more than 1 minute.

FREEZE FRAME DATA
1. DESCRIPTION
(a) The ECM records vehicle and driving condition
information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC
is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data
can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle
was running or stopped, whether the engine was
warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was
lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the
time of a malfunction.
HINT:
If it is impossible to duplicate the problem even
though a DTC is detected, confirm the freeze frame
data.
(b) The ECM records engine conditions in the form of
freeze frame data every 0.5 seconds. Using the
intelligent tester, five separate sets of freeze frame
data, including the data values at the time when the
DTC was set, can be checked.
• 3 data sets before the DTC was set
• 1 data set when the DTC was set
• 1 data set after the DTC was set
These data sets can be used to simulate the
condition of the vehicle around the time of the
occurrence of the malfunction. The data may assist
in identifying of the cause of the malfunction, and in
judging whether it was temporary or not.
