CIRCUIT".
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SIGNAL CIRCUIT
Perform self-diagnosis for ECM. Refer to EC-55, "
Emission-Related Diagnostic Information" (VQ35DE mod-
els) or EC-633, "
Emission-related Diagnostic Information" (VK45DE models).
Is any malfunction detec ted by self-diagnosis?
