NOTE:
• If the ignition switch stays ON after repair wo rk, be sure to turn ignition switch OFF once.
Wait at least 10 seconds and then tu rn it on (engine stopped) again.

NOTE:
• If the ignition switch stays ON after repair wo rk, be sure to turn ignition switch OFF once.
Wait at least 10 seconds and then tu rn it on (engine stopped) again.
1. Erase DTC in ECM. Refer to How to Erase Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-Diagnostic Results).
• If the battery is disconnected, the emission-relate d diagnostic information will be lost within 24
hours.
• The following data are cleared when the ECM memory is erased.
- Diagnostic trouble codes
- 1st trip diagnostic trouble codes
- Freeze frame data
- 1st trip freeze frame data
- System readiness test (SRT) codes
- Test values
Actual work procedures are explained using a DTC as an example. Be careful so that not only the DTC, but all
of the data listed above, are cleared from the ECM memory during work procedures.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)INFOID:0000000005149077
DESCRIPTION
The MIL is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MIL will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON with- out the engine running. This is a bulb check.
If the MIL does not light up, refer to MWI-18
or see EC-41.
2. When the engine is start ed, the MIL should go off.
If the MIL remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FUNCTION
The on board diagnostic system has the following three functions.

< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >[VK56DE]
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
When there is an open circuit on MIL circuit, the ECM c
annot warn the driver by lighting up MIL when there is
malfunction on engine control system.
Therefore, when electrical controlled throttle and part of ECM related diagnoses are continuously detected as
NG for 5 trips, ECM warns the driver that engine cont rol system malfunctions and MIL circuit is open by means
of operating fail-safe function.
The fail-safe function also operates when above diagnos es except MIL circuit are detected and demands the
driver to repair the malfunction.
MIL Flashing Without DTC
When any SRT codes are not set, MIL may fl ash without DTC. For the details, refer to EC-459, "DTC Index".
HOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE
NOTE:
•It is better to count the ti me accurately with a clock.
• It is impossible to switch the di agnostic mode when an accelerator pedal position sensor circuit has
a malfunction.
• Always ECM returns to Diagnostic Test Mode I after ignition switch is turned OFF.
How to Set Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic Results)
1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully releas ed, turn ignition switch ON and wait 3 seconds.
2. Repeat the following procedure quickly five times within 5 seconds.
a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the MIL starts blinking.
NOTE:
Do not release the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds if MIL may start blinking on the halfway of this
10 seconds. This blinking is displaying SRT status and is continued for another 10 seconds. For
the details, refer to EC-459, "
DTC Index".

Explanation of Function
Mode I Ignition switch in
ON position

If the MIL does not come on, check MIL circuit.
Engine running MALFUNCTION WARNING This is a usual driving condition. When a malfunction is de-
tected twice in two consecutive driving cycles (two trip de-
tection logic), the MIL will light up to inform the driver that a
malfunction has been detected.
The following malfunctions will light up or blink the MIL in
the 1st trip.
• Misfire (Possible three way catalyst damage)
• One trip detection diagnoses

4. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
ECM has entered to Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results).
NOTE:
Wait until the same DTC (or 1st trip DTC) appears to confirm all DTCs certainly.
How to Erase Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic Results)
1. Set ECM in Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results). Refer to “How to Set Diagnostic Test Mode II
(Self-diagnostic Results)”.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds. The emission-related diagnostic information has been erased from the backup memory in the ECM.
3. Fully release the accelerator pedal, and confirm the DTC 0000 is displayed.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE I — BULB CHECK
In this mode, the MIL on the instrument panel should st ay ON. If it remains OFF, check the bulb. Refer to MWI-
18 or see EC-41.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE I — MALFUNCTION WARNING
This DTC number is clarified in Diagnostic Test Mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS)
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE II — SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
In this mode, the DTC and 1st trip DTC are indicated by the number of blinks of the MIL as shown below.
The DTC and 1st trip DTC are displayed at the same time. If the MIL does not illuminate in diagnostic test
mode I (Malfunction warning), all displayed items are 1st trip DTCs. If onl y one code is displayed when the MIL
illuminates in diagnostic test mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS), it is a DTC; if two or more codes are
displayed, they may be either DTCs or 1st trip DTCs. DTC No. is same as that of 1st trip DTC. These uniden-

HEADLAMP
A Xenon type headlamp is adapted to the low beam headlamps. Xenon bulbs do not use a filament. Instead,
they produce light when a high voltage current is pa ssed between two tungsten electrodes through a mixture
of Xenon (an inert gas) and certain other metal halides. In addition to added lighting power, electronic control
of the power supply gives the headlamps stable quality and tone color. Following are some of the advantages
of the Xenon type headlamp.
• The light produced by the headlamps is a white color comparable to sunlight that is easy on the eyes.
• Light output is nearly double that of halogen headlamps, affording increased area of illumination.
• The light features a high relative spectral distribution at wavelengths to which the human eye is most sensi- tive. This means that even in the rain, more light is reflected back from the road surface toward the vehicle,
for added visibility.
• Power consumption is approximately 25 percent less than halogen headlamps, reducing battery load.
HIGH BEAM OPERATION/FLASH-TO-PASS OPERATION
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2ND position and placed in HIGH position,
the BCM receives input requesting the headlamp high beams to illuminate. The flash to pass feature can be
used any time and also sends a signal to the BCM. This input is communicated to the IPDM E/R via the CAN
communication lines. The CPU of the combination meter c ontrols the ON/OFF status off the HIGH BEAM indi-
cator. The CPU of the IPDM E/R controls the headlamp high relay coil which supplies power to the high beam
headlamps.
The combination meter receives a high beam request signal (ON) via the CAN communication lines and turns
the high beam indicator lamp ON.
EXTERIOR LAMP BATTERY SAVER CONTROL
With the combination switch (lighting and turn signal switch) in the 2nd position and the ignition switch is
turned from ON or ACC to OFF, the battery saver feature is activated.
Under this condition, the headlamps remain illuminated for 5 minutes unless the lighting switch position is
changed. If the lighting switch position is changed, then the headlamps are turned off.
This setting can be changed by CONSULT-III. Refer to BCS-22, "
HEADLAMP : CONSULT-III Function (BCM -
HEAD LAMP)".
