PRECAUTIONS
• Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.
• Before replacing ECM, perform “ECM Terminals and Refer-
ence Value” inspection and m ake sure ECM functions prop-
erly. Refer to EC-597, " ECM Terminal and Reference Value " .
• Handle mass air flow sensor carefully to avoid damage.
• Do not disassemble m ass air flow sensor.
• Do not clean mass air flow senso r with any type of detergent.
• Do not disassemble electric throttle control actuator.
• Even a slight leak in the ai r intake system can cause serious
incidents.
• Do not shock or jar the camshaft position sensor (PHASE),
crankshaft position sensor (POS).
• After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform DTC
Confirmation Procedure or Overall Function Check.
The DTC should not be displ ayed in the DTC Confirmation
Procedure if the repair is co mpleted. The Overall Function
Check should be a good result if the repair is completed.
• When measuring ECM signals with a circuit tester, never allow
the two tester probes to contact.
Accidental contact of probes will cause a short circuit and
damage the ECM power transistor.
• Do not use ECM ground termina ls when measuring input/out-
put voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM's tran-
sistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the
ground. MEF040D

ON BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)
System Description INFOID:0000000004537032
From the beginning of refueling, the air and vapor insi de the fuel tank go through refueling EVAP vapor cut
valve and EVAP/ORVR line to the EVAP canister. The v apor is absorbed by the EVAP canister and the air is
released to the atmosphere.
When the refueling has reached the full level of the fuel tank, the refueling EVAP vapor cut valve is closed and
refueling is stopped because of auto shut-off. The vapor which was absorbed by the EVAP canister is purged
during driving.
WARNING:
When conducting inspectio ns below, be sure to observe the following:
• Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABL E” sign in workshop.
• Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from work area.
• Be sure to furnish the workshop with a CO 2
fire extinguisher.
CAUTION:
• Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
- Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof containe r and put lid on securely.
- Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to EC-574, " Fuel Pressure Check " .
- Disconnect negative battery cable.
• Always replace O-ring when the fu el gauge retainer is removed.
• Do not kink or twist hose and tube when they are installed.
• Do not tighten hose and clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
• After installation, run engine a nd check for fuel leaks at connection.
• Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, r esulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire.
Diagnosis Procedure INFOID:0000000004537033

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
Introduction INFOID:0000000004537038
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system, which detects malfunctions related to engine sensors or actua-
tors. The ECM also records various emis sion-related diagnostic information including:
The above information can be checked using procedures listed in the table below. ×: Applicable —: Not applicable
*: When DTC and 1st trip DTC simultaneously appear on the display, they cannot be clearly distinguished from each other.
The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel lights up when the same malfunction is detected
in two consecutive trips (Two trip detection logic), or when the ECM enters fail-safe mode.
(Refer to EC-582, " Fail-Safe Chart " .)
Two Trip Detection Logic INFOID:0000000004537039
When a malfunction is detected for the first time, 1st tr ip DTC and 1st trip Freeze Frame data are stored in the
ECM memory. The MIL will not light up at this stage. <1st trip>
If the same malfunction is detected again during the next drive, the DTC and Freeze Frame data are stored in
the ECM memory, and the MIL lights up. The MIL lights up at the same time when the DTC is stored. <2nd
trip> The “trip” in the “Two Trip Detection Logic” m eans a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed
during vehicle operation. Specific on board diagnostic item s will cause the ECM to light up or blink the MIL,
and store DTC and Freeze Frame data, even in the 1st trip, as shown below.
×: Applicable —: Not applicable
When there is an open circuit on MIL circuit, the ECM c annot warn the driver by MIL lighting up when there is
malfunction on engine control system. Emission-related diagnostic information Diagnostic service

• Sea level
• Flat road
• Ambient air temperature: 20 - 30 °C (68 - 86 °F)
• Diagnosis is performed as quickly as possible under normal conditions.
Under different conditions [For example: ambient air temperature other than 20 - 30 °C (68 - 86 °F)], diagno-
sis may also be performed.
Pattern 1:
• The engine is started at the engine coolant temperature of −10 to 35 °C (14 to 95 °F)
(where the voltage between the ECM terminal 38 and ground is 3.0 - 4.3V).
• The engine must be operated at idle speed until the engine coolant temperature is greater than 70 °C
(158 °F) (where the voltage between the ECM te rminal 38 and ground is lower than 1.4V).
• The engine is started at the fuel tank temperature of warmer than 0 °C (32 °F) (where the voltage
between the ECM terminal 43 and ground is less than 4.1V).
Pattern 2:
• When steady-state driving is performed again even afte r it is interrupted, each diagnosis can be conducted.
In this case, the time required for diagnosis may be extended.
Pattern 3:
• Operate vehicle following the driving pattern shown in the figure.
• Release the accelerator pedal during decelerating vehicle speed
from 90 km/h (56 MPH) to 0 km/h (0 MPH).
Pattern 4:
• The accelerator pedal must be held very steady during steady-
state driving.
• If the accelerator pedal is moved, the test must be conducted all over again.
*1: Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h (56
MPH), then release the accelerator pedal and keep it released for
more than 10 seconds. Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle
speed is 90 km/h (56 MPH) again.
*2: Checking the vehicle speed with GST is advised.
Suggested Transmission Gear Po sition for A/T and CVT Models
Set the selector lever in the D position (CVT), D position with the overdrive switch turned ON (A/T).
Suggested upshift speeds for M/T models
Shown below are suggested vehicle speeds for shifting into a higher gear. These suggestions relate to fuel
economy and vehicle performance. Actual upshift speeds will vary according to road conditions, the weather
and individual driving habits.
Suggested Maximum Speed in Each Gear
Downshift to a lower gear if the engine is not running smoothly, or if you need to accelerate.
Do not exceed the maximum suggested speed (shown below) in any gear. For level road driving, use the high-
est gear suggested for that speed. Always observe post ed speed limits and drive according to the road condi-
tions to ensure safe operation. Do not over-rev t he engine when shifting to a lower gear as it may cause
engine damage or loss of vehicle control. PBIB2244E
