PRE-CHECK
1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(1) When troubleshooting OBD II vehicles, the only dif-
ference from the usual troubleshooting procedure
is that you need to connect an OBD II scan tool com-
plying with SAE J1987 or a hand-held tester to the
vehicle, and read off various data output from the
vehicle's ECM.
(2) OBD II regulations require that the vehicle's on-
board computer illuminate the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) on the instrument panel when the com-
puter detects a malfunction in the computer itself or
in the drive system components which affect the ve-
hicle emissions. In addition to the MIL illuminating
when a malfunction is detected, the applicable
DTCs prescribed by SAE J2012 are recorded in the
FI0534 ECM memory (See page 05-555 ).
If the malfunction does not occur in 3 consecutive trips, the MIL
goes off but the DTCs remain in the ECM memory.
(3) To check the DTCs, connect the OBD II scan tool or
hand-held tester to the DLC3 of the vehicle. The
OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester also enables
you to erase the DTCs and check freeze frame data
and various forms of engine data (For instruction
book).
(4) The DTCs include SAE controlled codes and
Manufacturer controlled codes. SAE controlled
codes must be set as prescribed by the SAE, while
Manufacturer controlled codes can be set freely by
a manufacturer within the prescribed limits (See the
DTC chart on page 05-555 ).
(5) The diagnosis system operates in the normal mode
during the normal vehicle use, and also has a check
mode for technicians to simulate malfunction symp-
toms and perform troubleshooting. Most DTCs use
2 trip detection logic(*) to prevent erroneous detec-
tion. By switching the ECM to the check mode when
troubleshooting, technicians can cause the MIL to
illuminate for a malfunction that is only detected
once or momentarily. (hand-held tester).
(6) *2 trip detection logic:
When a malfunction is first detected, the malfunc-
tion is temporarily stored in the ECM memory. If the
same malfunction is detected again during the se-
cond test drive, this second detection causes the
MIL to illuminate.

(a) Inspect the DLC3.
The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 9141-2 for communication.
The terminal arrangement of DLC3 complies with SAE
1 23 4 5 6 78 J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

Tester connection Condition Specified condition
7 (Bus Line) - 5 (Signal ground) During communication Pulse generation
4 (Chassis Ground) - Body Always 1 or less
5 (Signal Ground) - Body Always 1 or less
16 (B+) - Body Always 9 to 14 V
HINT:
If your display shows UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE
when you have connected the cable of the OBD II scan tool or
hand-held tester to the DLC3, turned the ignition switch ON
and operated the scan tool, there is a problem on the vehicle
side or tool side.
S If the communication is normal when the tool is connected
to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 on the original ve-
hicle.
S If the communication is still impossible when the tool is
connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in
the tool itself, so consult the Service Department listed in
the tool's instruction manual.
(b) Inspect the battery voltage.
Battery Voltage: 11 to 14 V
If voltage is below 11 V, recharge the battery before proceeding.
(c) Check the MIL.
(1) The MIL comes on when the ignition switch is turned
ON and the engine is not running.
HINT:
If the MIL does not light up, troubleshoot the combination meter
(See page 05-1538 ).
(2) When the engine is started, the MIL should go off.
If the lamp remains on, it means that the diagnosis
system has detected a malfunction or abnormality
in the system.

NOTICE:
Hand-held tester only:
When the diagnostic system is switched from the normal
mode to the check mode, all the DTCs and freeze frame
data recorded in the normal mode will be erased. So before
switching modes, always check the DTCs and freeze frame
data, and note them down.
(a) Checking DTCs using the OBD II scan tool or hand-held
tester.
(1) Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester
to DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.

(4) See page 05-555 to confirm the details of the
DTCs.
NOTICE:
When simulating symptoms with an OBD II scan tool (ex-
cluding hand-held tester) to check the DTCs, use the nor-
mal mode. For codes on the DTCs chart subject to "2 trip
detection logic", turn the ignition switch OFF after the
symptom is simulated once. Then repeat the simulation
process again. When the problem has been simulated
twice, the MIL is indicated on the instrument panel and
DTCs are recorded in the ECM.
(b) When using the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester:
Clearing the DTCs.
(1) Connect the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester
to DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) When operating an OBD II scan tool (complying
with SAE J1978) or hand-held tester to erase the
codes, the DTCs and freeze frame data will be
erased. (See the OBD II scan tool's instruction book
for operating instructions.)
(c) When not using the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester:
Clearing the DTCs.

6. DEFINITION OF TERMS
Term Definition
Monitor description Description of what the ECM monitors and how it detects malfunctions (monitoring purpose and its details).
Related DTCs A group of diagnostic trouble codes that are output by the ECM based on the same malfunction detection logic.
Preconditions that allow the ECM to detect malfunctions.
Typical enabling condition With all preconditions satisfied, the ECM sets the DTC when the monitored value(s) exceeds the malfunction
threshold(s).
The priority order that is applied to monitoring, if multiple sensors and components are used to detect the malfunc-
tion.
Sequence of operation
While another sensor is being monitored, the next sensor or component will not be monitored until the previous
monitoring has concluded.
Required sensor/compo-
The sensors and components that are used by the ECM to detect malfunctions.
nents
The number of times that the ECM checks for malfunctions per driving cycle.
"Once per driving cycle" means that the ECM detects malfunction only one time during a single driving cycle.
Frequency of operation
"Continuous" means that the ECM detects malfunction every time when enabling condition is met during a single
driving cycle.
The minimum time that the ECM must sense a continuous deviation in the monitored value(s) before setting a
Duration
DTC. This timing begins after the "typical enabling conditions" are met.
Malfunction thresholds Beyond this value, the ECM will conclude that there is a malfunction and set a DTC.
MIL illumination timing after a defect is detected.
"Immediately" means that the ECM illuminates MIL the instant the ECM determines that there is a malfunction.
MIL operation
"2 driving cycle" means that the ECM illuminates MIL if the same malfunction is detected again in the 2 nd driving
cycle.
