2GR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM – SFI SYSTEMES–41
ES
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.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
1. DESCRIPTION
(a) When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only
difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is to connect an OBD II scan tool complying with
SAE J1987 or a intelligent tester to the vehicle, and
read off various data output from the vehicle's ECM.
(b) OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-
board computer illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the
computer detects a malfunction in the computer
itself or in the drive system components whic h affect
the vehicle emissions. In addition to illuminating the
MIL when a malfunction is detected, the applicable
DTCs prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the
ECM memory (See page AX-35).
If the malfunction does not occur in 3 consecutive
trips, the MIL goes off but the DTCs remain in the
ECM memory.
(c) To check the DTCs, connect the OBD II scan tool or
intelligent tester to the DLC3 of the vehicle. The
OBD II scan tool or intelligent tester also enables
you to erase the DTCs and check freeze frame data
and various forms of engine data (For operating
instructions, see the instruction book).
(d) The DTCs include SAE controlled codes and
Manufacturer controlled codes. SAE controlled
codes must be set as prescribed by the SAE, while
Manufacturer controlled codes can be set freely by
a manufacturer within the prescribed limits (See
page AX-35).
(e) The diagnosis system operates in "normal mode"
during the normal vehicle use. In normal mode, "2-
trip detection logic" is used to ensure accurate
detection of malfunction. "Check mode" is also
available to technicians as an option. In check
mode, "1-trip detection logic" is used for simulating
malfunction symptoms and increasing the system's
ability to detect malfunctions, including intermittent
malfunction.
(f) *2 trip detection logic: When a malfunction is first
detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in
the ECM memory (1st trip). If the ignition switch is
turned off and then turned to the ON position again,
and same malfunction is detected again, the MIL will
illuminate.
