DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

ENGINE WARNING LAMP (CHECK ENGINE LAMP)

When the abnormal condition occurs with respect to the items of Multipoint Fuel Injection (MPI) system shown in the table, the engine warning lamp will illuminate or flash. When the lamp remains illuminated after the engine start, or when the lamp is illuminated while the engine is running, check the diagnosis code output. There are two methods for checking the indicator lamp burn out: When the ignition switch is in ON position, the indicator lamp is illuminated, and then extinguished few seconds later. When the ignition switch is in ON position and the engine starts, the indicator lamp is extinguished.

note

When the CVT-ECU detects malfunctions related to the CVT, the engine warning lamp is also illuminated.

note

After the engine-ECU has detected a malfunction, the engine warning lamp illuminates when the engine is next turned on and the same malfunction is re-detected. However, for items marked with a "^*1" in the diagnosis code number column, the engine warning lamp illuminates only on the first detection of the malfunction.

note

The codes marked with a "^*2" in the diagnosis code number column have the following two conditions for illuminating the engine warning lamp.

In case that the misfire causing the damaged catalyst is detected, the engine warning lamp will flash until the condition is corrected. If the system detects the same malfunction after the next engine start and then the condition is corrected, the engine warning lamp will flash (not illuminate).
In case that the misfire deteriorating the exhaust gas is detected, the engine warning lamp is illuminated when the same malfunction is redetected after the next engine start.

note

Even if the malfunction is not detected when the engine-ECU monitors the malfunction three consecutive times* after the engine warning lamp illuminates, turn off the engine warning lamp when the engine starts next time.
*: In this case, "one time" in monitoring the malfunction means the period from the time of the current engine start to the time of the next engine start. "One time" in monitoring the misfire or the fuel system malfunction means the time when the operating conditions (such as the engine speed or the engine coolant temperature) becomes similar operating conditions of the first detected malfunction.

METHOD OF READING AND ERASING DIAGNOSIS CODES

Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - Diagnosis Function

INSPECTION WITH M.U.T.-III SERVICE DATA AND ACTUATOR TEST

Reading service data or performing an actuator test using M.U.T.-III enables you to check the vehicle body harnesses and components for abnormalities. Sensor input or output to the actuator can be displayed in numerical values or graphs in the service data while in the actuator test the actuator can be forced to drive (ON/OFF driving in the specified time).

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Connect M.U.T.-III to perform inspection with the service data and actuator test function.
If any abnormality is found, inspect and repair vehicle body harnesses and components.
After repair, check that input and output have returned to normal.
If a failure code which is caused by inspection and repair work is generated, erase the failure code.
Disconnect M.U.T.-III and perform a test run to check that the malfunction phenomenon is resolved.

PROVISIONAL DIAGNOSIS CODE CONFIRMED

If detecting the malfunction during the first drive cycle, the engine-ECU temporarily stores the diagnosis code as the provisional diagnosis code. If detecting the same malfunction during the next drive cycle, the engine-ECU determines that the malfunction exists. The engine-ECU outputs the diagnosis code. On the M.U.T.-III, it is possible to display the stored provisional diagnosis code which the engine-ECU had detected during the first drive cycle. This makes it possible to confirm in one drive cycle whether the malfunction could happen again after the repair.

CONFIRMATION METHOD

After the ignition switch is in "LOCK" (OFF) position, connect the M.U.T.-III to the diagnosis connector.
Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
Select "MPI/GDI/DIESEL" from System select Screen of the M.U.T.-III.
Select "Special Function" from MPI/GDI/DIESEL Screen.
Select "Provisional DTCs" from Special Function Screen.

FREEZE FRAME DATA

When the engine-ECU detects a malfunction and stores a diagnosis code, it also stores a current status of the engine. This function is called "Freeze frame data". By analyzing this "Freeze frame" data with the M.U.T.-III, an effective troubleshooting can be performed.
The display items of freeze frame data are shown below.

note

*1: Accumulated time of current malfunction from time point when malfunction is detected.

note

*2: The items can be seen by selecting "Freeze Frame Data (OBD)" on Self-diagnosis Screen of M.U.T.-III. If detecting multiple malfunctions, the engine-ECU stores the data for only the first item that was detected. If detecting the misfire or fuel system malfunction, the engine-ECU stores the data by giving priority to the misfire or fuel system malfunction in spite of the chronological order of the detected malfunction.

note

The Freeze Frame Data (OBD) should not be stored for the diagnosis code when the engine warning lamp does not illuminate.

note

*3: Condition in which oxygen sensor signals are fed back to the engine-ECU for controlling fuel.

note

*4: Condition in which fuel is controlled without oxygen sensor signals being fed back to the engine-ECU because the condition to shift to the closed loop is not met.

note

*5: Data items are displayed on M.U.T.-III display, but the in-line 4 engine is not applicable and its data is displayed as "N/A" or "****".

note

*6: Time between engine start and malfunction detection.
