specific components/systems that are not continuously monitored.
Service $07 (ON BOARD TESTS) This diagnostic service enables the off board test drive to obtain test results for emission-
related powertrain components/systems that are continuously monitored during normal
driving conditions.
Service $08 — This diagnostic service can close EVAP system in ignition switch ON position (Engine
stopped). When this diagnostic service is performed, the EVAP canister vent control valve
can be closed.
In the following conditions, this diagnostic service cannot function.
 Low ambient temperature
 Low battery voltage
 Engine running
 Ignition switch OFF
 Low fuel temperature
 Too much pressure is applied to EVAP system
Service $09 (CALIBRATION ID) This diagnostic service enables the off-board test device to request specific vehicle infor-
mation such as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and Calibration IDs.

CONSULT-III Reference Val ue in Data Monitor ModeINFOID:0000000001325938
Remarks:
● Specification data are reference values.
● Specification data are output/input values which ar e detected or supplied by the ECM at the connector.
* Specification data may not be directly relat ed to their components signals/values/operations.
i.e. Adjust ignition timing with a timi ng light before monitoring IGN TIMING, because the monitor may show the specification data in spite of the
ignition timing not being adjusted to the s pecification data. This IGN TIMING monitors the data calculated by the ECM according to the signals
input from the camshaft position sensor an d other ignition timing related sensors.
