ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT FUEL CUT RPM
(a) Increase the engine speed to at least 3500 rpm.
(b) Use a sound scope to check for injector operating
sounds.
(c) Check that when the throttle lever is released,
injector operating sounds stop momentarily (at 2500
rpm) and then resume (at 1400 rpm).
Standard
2. CHECK AIR TIGHTNESS IN FUEL TANK AND FILLER
PIPE
(a) Disconnect the vent line hose from the fuel tank.
(b) Connect the pressure gauge to the fuel tank.
(c) Apply pressure to the fuel tank to create an internal
pressure of 4 kPa (41 gf/cm
2, 0.58 psi).
(d) Check that the internal pressure of the fuel tank is
maintained for 1 minute.
(e) Check the connected portions of each hose and
pipe.
(f) Check the installed parts on the fuel tank.
If any malfunctions, damage or other problems are
found, replace the fuel tank and filler pipe.
(g) Reconnect the vent line hose to the fuel tank.
3. INSPECT FUEL CUT OFF VALVE AND FUEL CHECK
VA LV E
(a) Disconnect the vent line hose from the fuel tank.
(b) Connect the pressure gauge to the fuel tank.
(c) Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
(d) Apply pressure of 4 kPa (41 gf/cm
2, 0.58 psi) to the
vent port of the fuel tank.
HINT:
Check the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. When the
fuel tank is full, the float valve of the fill check valve
is closed and no air can pass through.
(e) Remove the fuel tank cap, and check that the
pressure drops.
If the pressure does not drop, replace the fuel tank
assembly.
(f) Reconnect the vent line hose to the fuel tank.

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.

FAIL-SAFE CHART
If any of the following DTCs are set, the ECM enters fail-safe
mode to allow the vehicle to be driven temporarily.
HINT:
• *1: The vehicle can be driven slowly when the accelerator
pedal is depressed firmly and slowly. If the accelerator
pedal is depressed quickly, the vehicle may speed up and
slow down erratically.
• *2: Misfire related fail-safe operations occur when catalyst
overheat malfunctions occur.
