Perform EC-675, "Work Procedure"
.
Do you have CONSULT?
YES >> GO TO 7.
NO >> GO TO 9.
7.PERFORM SPEC IN DATA MONITOR MODE
With CONSULT
Make sure that “MAS A/F SE-B1” , “MAS A/F SE-B2”, “B/FUEL SCHDL”, “A/F ALPHA-B1” and “A/F ALPHA-
B2” are within the SP value using CONSULT “SPEC” in “DATA MONITOR” mode of “ENGINE”. Refer to EC-
701, "Component Function Check".
Is the measurement value within the SP value?
YES >> GO TO 9.
NO >> GO TO 8.
8.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART BY TROUBL E DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE
Detect malfunctioning part according to EC-702, "Diagnosis Procedure"
.
Is a malfunctioning part detected?
YES >> GO TO 11.
NO >> GO TO 9.
9.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING SYST EM BY SYMPTOM TABLE
Detect malfunctioning system according to EC-987, "Symptom Table"
based on the confirmed symptom in
step 4, and determine the trouble diagnosis order based on possible causes and symptoms.
>> GO TO 10.
10.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PA RT BY DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Inspect according to Diagnos is Procedure of the system.
NOTE:
The Diagnosis Procedure in EC section described based on open circuit inspection. A short circuit inspection
is also required for the circuit check in the Diagnosis Procedure. For details, refer to GI-46, "Circuit Inspec-
tion".
Is a malfunctioning part detected?
YES >> GO TO 11.
NO >> Monitor input data from related sensors or check voltage of related ECM terminals using CON-
SULT. Refer to EC-613, "Reference Value"
.
11 .REPAIR OR REPLACE THE MALFUNCTIONING PART
1. Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
2. Reconnect parts or connectors disconnected during Diagnosis Procedure again after repair and replace-
ment.
3. Check DTC. If DTC is displayed, erase it.
With CONSULT: Refer to “How to Erase DTC and 1st Trip DTC” in EC-601, "CONSULT Function"

12.FINAL CHECK
When DTC was detected in step 2, perform DTC CO NFIRMATION PROCEDURE or Component Function
Check again, and then make sure that the malfunction have been completely repaired.
When symptom was described from the customer, refer to confirmed symptom in step 3 or 4, and make sure
that the symptom is not detected.
Is DTC detected and does symptom remain?
YES-1 >> DTC is detected: GO TO 10.
YES-2 >> Symptom remains: GO TO 6.
NO-1 >> No request for I/M examination from the custom er: Before returning the vehicle to the customer,
always erase unnecessary DTC in ECM and TCM ( With CONSULT: Refer to “How to Read
DTC and 1st Trip DTC” in EC-601, "CONSULT Function"
, Without CONSULT: Refer to “How to
Read Self-diagnostic Results” in EC-598, "On Board Diagnosis Function"
).
NO-2 >> I/M examination, requested from the customer: GO TO 13.
13.PREPARE FOR I/M EXAMINATION
1. Set SRT codes. Refer to EC-689, "Description"

Diagnostic Work SheetINFOID:0000000009462549
DESCRIPTION
There are many operating conditions that lead to the malfunction of
engine components. A good grasp of such conditions can make trou-
bleshooting faster and more accurate.
In general, each customer feels differently about symptoms. It is
important to fully understand the symptoms or conditions for a cus-
tomer complaint.
Utilize a diagnostic worksheet like the WORKSHEET SAMPLE
below in order to organize all the information for troubleshooting.
Some conditions may cause the MIL to illuminate or blink, and DTC
to be detected. Examples:
• Vehicle ran out of fuel, which caused the engine to misfire.
• Fuel filler cap was left off or incorrectly screwed on, allowing fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.
