drops below the idle rpm.
 If the signal is interrupted while the en-
gine is running, an abnormal value may
be indicated.

displayed.  When the engine is stopped, a certain
value is indicated.
 When engine is running, specification range is indicated in “SPEC”.

pulse width programmed into ECM, prior to any
learned on board correction.  When engine is running, specification
range is indicated in “SPEC”.

way catalyst is relatively large.  When the engine is stopped, a certain
value is indicated.

VHCL SPEED SE km/h or mph  The vehicle speed computed from the vehicle
speed signal sent from combination meter is dis-
played.
BATTERY VOLT V  The power supply voltage of ECM is displayed.
ACCEL SEN 1 [V] V  The accelerator pedal position sensor signal
voltage is displayed.  ACCEL SENS2 signal is converted be
ECM internally. Thus, they differs from
ECM terminal voltage signal.

TP SEN 1-B1 [V] V
 The throttle position sensor signal voltage is dis-
played.  THRTL SEN 2 signal is converted by
ECM internally. Thus, they differs from

The specification (SP) value indicates the tolerance of
the value that is displayed in “SPEC” of “DATA MONI-
TOR” mode with CONSULT-III during normal operation of the Engine Control System. When the value in
“SPEC” of “DATA MONITOR” mode is within the SP val ue, the Engine Control System is confirmed OK. When
the value in “SPEC” of “DATA MONITOR” mode is NOT within the SP value, the Engine Control System may
have one or more malfunctions.
The SP value is used to detect malfunctions that may af fect the Engine Control System, but will not light the
MIL.
The SP value will be displayed for the following three items:
 B/FUEL SCHDL (The fuel injection pulse width programmed into ECM prior to any learned on board correc- tion)
 A/F ALPHA-B1/B2 (The mean value of air-fuel ratio feedback correction factor per cycle)
 MAS A/F SE-B1 (The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor)

 Atmospheric temperature: 20 - 30 °C (68 - 86 °F)
 Engine coolant temperature: 75 - 95 °C (167 - 203 °F)

Inspection ProcedureINFOID:0000000001326538
NOTE:
Perform “SPEC” in “DATA MONITOR” mode in maximum scale display.

Basic Inspection".
2. Confirm that the testing conditions indicated above are met.
3. Select “B/FUEL SCHDL”, “A/F ALPHA-B1”, “A/F ALPHA-B2” and “MAS A/F SE-B1” in “SPEC” of “DATA
MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
